10 s. x. AUG. 29, iocs.] NOTES AND QUERIES.

167 III. i. 261-3 (10 S. x. 63).—In Scotland the word scaling is used for the departure of the congregation after divine service, i.e., "the kirk skailing," "the bairns skailing from school."

(See 10 S. viii. 246.)—In contemporary accounts this individual is sometimes called John and sometimes Thomas, but the latter name seems to occur more frequently. Apparently, he began to be employed as assistant executioner about 1814.

—The following short list may lead to the compilation of a full one. I do not vouch for its correctness.

3rd Dragoon Guards.—'God bless the Prince of Wales.'

Scots Greys.—'The Garb of Old Gaul.'

5th Lancers (Royal Welsh)—'The Harp that once through Tara's Hall.'

6th Dragoons (Enniskillens).—'St. Patrick's Day.'

8th Hussars (Royal Irish).—Ditto.

10th Hussars (Prince of Wales's).—'God bless the Prince of Wales.'

12th Lancers (ditto).—Ditto.

The South Lancashire Regiment and other Prince of Wales's regiments play 'God bless the Prince of Wales.' The North Staffordhires are an exception, having a march of which I know the air, but not the name. All the Highland regiments play 'Highland Laddie' (save the Cameronians, who use Twas within a Mile of Edinburgh Town'); and all the Fusiliers march to 'The British Grenadiers.'
