NOTES AND QUERIES. [io* s. i. MAY 28, 1904.

a white cross (?), and the half of a large golc star, showing ten points above, apparentlj the insignia of a Grand Steward ; his righ hand, wearing a white leather gauntlet, ano holding an oval-headed hammer or malle (similar to an enlarged drumstick), rest on the red-and-black oblique-striped cover o: a narrow table in front, having thereon a small L - shaped square, plumb-level, &c Masonic portraits of so early a date are rare Does any reader know of reference in prinl or MS. to that in question, and whether it has been engraved ?

THE WESTERN EEBELS AND THE REV. JOHN MOREMAN. The ringleaders of the Western Rebellion of 1549 state that they were examined by the Lord Chancellor, by Mr. Smythe and Mr. North. The Rev. John Moreman, D.D., was committed to the Tower in 1549, by "accusement of the Deane of Powles," because of a sermon preached in the West Country, and he was examined thereon by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Can any one tell me whether a record of these examinations exists, or where they are likely to be found 1 I have not yet been able to discover them at the Public Record Office. (Mrs.) ROSE-TROUP.

AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED.

Rest after toil, Peace after strife, Port after stormy seas, Death after life.

M. GURNEY. No endeavour is in vain ; The reward is in the doing, And the rapture of pursuing Is the prize the vanquished gain. Thus didst thou.

Everything that grows Holds in perfection but a little moment. And this huge state presenteth naught but shows, Whereon the stars in silent influence comment.

GABORIAU'S ' MARQUIS D'ANGIVAL.' Is there any English translation of this work, which Ruskin alludes to in ' Fiction Fair and Foul,' an article recently published in the Nineteenth Centm*y, and now included in one of the volumes of l The Old Road ' ? It is con- sidered by many to be Gaboriau's greatest work, and ranks with Eugene Sue's 'Mys- teries of Paris.' It is said to have been published in English under the title of ' The Mystery of Orcival,' but a perusal of that work does not bear out Ruskin's description of the book which he entitles ' The Marquis d'Angival,' and which appears to be quite a

different work. Doubtless some reader o 'N. & Q.' can tell me whether the latter title is the correct designation of the book, FREDERICK T. HIBGAME.

THE NAME JESUS. The Rev. L. D. Dowdall, in the Gentleman's Magazine for December, 1903, pp. 545-63, has an article entitled 'A Chapter on Names.' In the course of it he states that Jesus is a form of Joshua. If so, how do phoneticians explain the evolution of the e (u) sound of modern Jesus from the o of Joshua ? An explanation of the develop- ment of the s from sfi would also be interest- ing ; and how is the terminal sibilant in Jesus to be accounted for ?

THOMAS FARMER. Could any of your readers inform me whether there is any gravestone or memorial tablet in Atherstone Parish Church, Warwick, to a Thomas Farmer, and if so, what the inscription is, as I wish to trace his father ? Thomas was of the same family as the Farmers of Ratcliffe Culey, Leicestershire, whose pedi- gree is to be found in Nichols's work on that county. A. J. C. GUIMARAENS.

BLIN. A Mr. Blin married the daughter

of Ryder (sister of John William Walters

Ryder, of Stoke, Devonport), and is believed to have had issue David William Walters Blin, born at Plymouth, and married to Ann, daughter of Josiah and Ann Austen, of Liskeard, Cornwall. Inter alia, my mother was a daughter of this last couple. Can any one give further information respecting all three surnames ?

(Rev.) B. W. BLIN-STOYLE. Langden House, Braunston, nr. Rugby.

BELLINGER. Amongst "the names of all the Noblemen that speak at the Westminster Meeting January y e 28th, 1730/1," this name of Sellinger appears. Can any correspondent of ' N. & Q.' help me to identify him ?

'THE YONG SOULDIER.' The name of the author, Capt.-Lieut. John Raynsford, appears at the end of the dedication, but not on the iitle-page of this book (London, printed by J. R. for Joseph Hunscott, 1642, 4to, 16 pp.). The tract is one of no little military interest, n that ifc describes the drill as actually prac- iised in England immediately before the out- jreak of the Civil War. Raynsford, instructor 'having this last yeere wanted Action in
