 NOTES AND QUERIES. - s. iv. JULY 29, 1905. <le princesse il me fit esclave : d'esclave il me fait reiiie; rnais je n'oublierai pas les devoirs qui vont m'etre imposes, et me souviendrai toujours d'avoirete esclave." On the death of her husband she was made regent during the minority of her son, and governed the kingdom with goodness and wisdom for nine years. She then retired to the monastery of Chelles, which was one of the many she had founded, and her death took place there in 680. She was canonized under the name of Sainte Bathilde. CONSTANCE KUSSELL. Swallowfield Park, Reading. St. Bathilda married Clovis IL, not Clovis I., and her name is certainly " deathless" in France, though it appears to be sadly for- gotten in this her native land. She should form another link of the friendship uniting the two countries to which she belonged. An account of her will be found in the ' Die- tionnaire des Dictionnaires,' edited by Mon- signor Paul GueYin. M. HAULTMONT. This name is commonly, and more correctly, spelt Bathildis. Dean Mihnan, in his 'His- tory of Latin Christianity' (ed. 1854), refers to her at vol. ii. p. 221. Accounts of her may be.found under 30 January in the 'Acta Sanctorum,' Butler's 'Lives of the Saints,' a,nd the Rev. Richard Stan ton's 'Menology.' EDWARD PEACOCK. FLEET STREET, No. 53 (10th S. iii. 427, 493). —I have copies of the following coloured prints :— 1. ' Beating up for Recruits,' a caricature by R. Dighton, " printed for Jno. Smith, No. 35, Cheapside, and R. Sayer &. J. Bennett, No. 53, Fleet Street, 4 June, 1781." • 2. 'The Battle of Culloden,' "published 1st November, 1793, by Laurie <t Whittle, 53, Fleet Street." 3. 'The Cathedral, and Procession, at Flo- rence,' " published 12th May, 1794, by Laurie <fc Whittle, 53, Fleet Street/ I have also ' The Taking of Quebec,' but the margin of the print has been so shorn that the date of its publication has disappeared. W. S. PARKER FAMILY (10th S. iii. 470; iv. 16).—If G. P. does not find the marriage in question in Foster's ' Pedigrees of the Forsters and Fosters' he must look in the Surtees Society's 'History of Durham.' In one or other (if not in both) he should find it, accord- ing to my notes. Some of these Heaths are •described as of Ramside, in the parish of St. Giles. Can St. Giles be near Kepyer, in •oo. Durham ? . • • I have just come across three more mem- bers of the Parker family in connexion with Angel Street Congregational Church, Wor- cester, in a quest after the Job Heaths (cf. 10* S. iii. 468). These are Mary, Eliza, and Margaret Parker. Facsimiles of their signa- tures (two before 1700 and one in 1701) are in existence, but no further particulars. " One good turn," &c. J. W. B. CAPE HOORN (10th S. iii. 466).—Referring to my copy of ' A Geographical Description of the Four Parts of the World,' taken from notes of Monsieur Sanson, by "Richard Blome, Gent." (published A.D. 1670), in 'A New Mapp' of America Meridionale,' dated the year pre- viously, I find the names thereupon do not altogether coincide with MR. LYNN'S refer-' ence to Cape Horn. The latter is marked Cape de Hora. The passage between " Teria del Fuoga" and '• Terre des Estats," however, ir shown as " Streights of Maire." HARRY HEMS. • Fair Park, Exeter. " JOCKTELEG " (10th S. iii. 65, 495).—A jock- teleg seems to have been also known as a " lang-kail gully " :— It was a faulding jocteleg, Or lang-kail gully: . Burns, ' On Captain Grose,' 1791. According to Halliwell's ' Diet, of Archaic Words,' " gully "=a large knife (Northum- berland). J. HOLDEN MACMlCHAEL. ST. GILBERT OF SEMPRINGHAM (10th S. iii. 489).—A comprehensive volume on St. Gilbert and the Gilbertines was published in 1901 by Rose S. Graham : and there is an interesting article by Mr. J. C. K. Saunders, entitled ' Some Incidents in the Life of a Lincolnshire Saint,' in the fourteenth volume.of the papers of the Lincolnshire Architectural and Archaeo- logical Society. A. R. U. There are not many "legends or folk-tales attaching to this saint.' See Newman's ' Lives of English Saints,' Graham's ' St. Gilbert and the Gilbertines,1 and, briefly, Baring-Gould, 'Lives of the Saints,' 4 Feb- ruary. C. S. WARD. Husenbeth, in his 'Emblems of Sainta' (third edition, 1882), notes :— " 8. Gilbert of Sempringham, abbot arid confessor. 4 February, A.D. 1189. Emblem, a church in his hand." Owen, in 'Sanctorale Catholicum' (1880), gives the date of death a year later (1190), and under 4 February records :— " His manner of living was most severe, abstain- ing .eveu from fish during Lent and Advent.
