NOTES AND QUERIES. [io s. in. JAN. u, 1005.

13. Boniface IX. (Pope from 1389 to 1404) -is stated to have canonized St. John of Brid- lington.

14, 15. Callixtus III. (Pope from 1455 to 1458) canonized St. Osmund of Salisbury, 1 January, 1456/7, and (according to Platina, who is probably wrong) St. Edmund the King -(date unknown).

16. In some year unknown St. Stephen Harding appears to have been canonized on 17 April (see Benedict XIV., ' De Canoniz.,' lib. i. c. 13, n. 17, t. 1, p. 100).

II. Equipollent Canonizations.

When the offices of a saint are extended to the Universal Church he is said to receive -equipollent canonization.

St. Ursula and her companions were thus lionoured by St. Pius V. (Pope 1566 to 1572) ; St. Anselm by Alexander VIII. (1689-91) ; St. Margaret, Queen of Scotland, by Inno- cent XII., 15 September, 1691; St. Boniface by Pius IX. (1846-78) ; St. Augustine of Can- terbury by Leo XIII., 28 July, 1882, and St. Bede by Leo XIII, 13 November, 1899.

I may add that St. Bede was at the same time declared a Doctor of the Church. The same title of honour was declared to St. An- selm by Clement XI. in 1720.

DAGGER PIES. By the accidental omission of a reference in the first edition of Nares's run on, in subsequent editions, to form part of another quotation which follows it, and the whole is printed thus :
 * Glossary ' a quotation of two lines has been

" Good den good coosen ; Jesu, how de 'e do?

When shall we eat another Dagyer-pie, ' Out bench-whistler, out ; I '11 not take thy word for a Dagger pie. Decker's ' Satiromastix,' p. 115. Hawkins 3.' ;

The first two are the opening lines of a little dialogue in verse attributed to S. Row- lands, 1602, called ' 'Tis Merrie when Gossips .meete.'

The 'N.E.D.,' vol. iii. p. 7, col. 3, quoting from Nares, as above, naturally attributes them to 'Satiromastix.'

Another mistake in Nares also affects this 'Dagger-pie' article in the 'N.E.D.' There were two taverns with the sign of the '"Dagger." Nares knew only of that in Hoi born ; but it was the " Dagger " in Cheap- side which gave its name to the pies/ See the second part of 'If you know not me, you know nobody,' Act I. sc. ii., by Hey- wood. The scene is Hobson's shop. During his absence the two apprentices leave their business. The second prentice, going out, says: "I must needs step to the Digger in

Cheape, to send a letter into the country vnto my father." Hobson comes back to his shop, and, when this prentice returns, asks him, "And where have you been] 2nd Pren. At breakfast with a Dagger-pie, sir." Collier, in the Shakespeare Society's reprint of the play, has a note on the two " Daggers."

VANISHED PASTIMES. When I was a boy I must have been a little " hooligan," for one of the pastimes or diversions of winter was indulgence in the dangerous practice of shooting orange-peel at all and sundry from a copper Y-shaped '' toy," the horns of which were connected by elastic, from which the tiny catapults of orange-peel were shot broadcast. I do not know what recalled to me quite spontaneously the memory of those boyish instruments of torture, but I have not seen them in any of the small shops devoted to the menus ^CU'SM-S de la jeiinesse for many years past, and now wonder whether police restrictions were quietly brought to bear upon the vendors in the same way as they were upon the vendors of "squirts" and other obnoxious pastimes which were such discordant conditions of life in the last century.

NELSON IN FICTION. "Nelson's peerless name " has time and again figured in the pages of romance with more or less veri- similitude. Just now, with the centenary of Trafalgar coming on this year, I have noticed three tales of adventure in which " the Norfolk Hero," as we love to call him, is introduced. These are :

1. Mr. Henty's last story, ' By Conduct and Courage,' said by some to be his best book.

2. ' The Commander of the Hirondelle,' by Dr. W. H. Fitchett, which contains fine thumbnail sketches of Nelson.

3. * England Expects : a Story of the Last Days of Nelson,' by Frederick Harrison, which has a stirring account of the culmina- ting scene at Trafalgar 1.

It would be interesting if a complete list of tales dealing with Nelson and his times, directly or indirectly, could be furnished.

THE VICTORIA AND THE CAMPERDOWN. The subjoined cutting from a recent number of The Somerset County Gazette, under the heading ' North Perrott,' deserves, I think, preservation in 'N. & Q.' :
