W. B. H. By the kindness of my friend and fellow- contributor MR. R. C. BOSTOCK, of Ramsgate, I have been enabled to see the following booklet, which is most helpful: "A Sketch of the Premonstratensian Order and their •Houses in Great Britain and Ireland. London, Burns & Oates, Portman Street, 1878." T. CANN HUGHES, M.A., F.S.A. Lancaster. [Our readers will, we think, be grateful for the double alphabetical arrangement. MR. ROLAND AUSTIN, MR. W. E. A. AXON, MR. J. HOLDEN MAU.MICHAKL, MR. J. A. RANDOLPH, ST. SWITHIN, and the REV. C. 8. WARD are also thanked for replies.] " JlGGERY - POKERY " (10th S. iv. 166).— "Jigger"was formerly used in Scotland to denote a secret still, and " poke " a bag or sack (" To buy a pig in a poke"). I can remember an old Scotch lady who constantly used a somewhat similar word to express a sly or underhand proceeding ; but she called it" jewkery-pawkery." CONSTANCE RUSSELL. Swallowfield. " HlCKERY - PUCKERY " (10th S. iv. 87).— " Puckery-hickery " and " hickery_-puckery " are merely local or personal variations of the slang term " hokery-pokery," which is a descriptive form of the conjurer's "hocus pocus," whose derivation is doubtless known to your correspondents. FRANK PENNY. GYTHA, MOTHER OF HAROLD II. (10th S. iv. 168).—She was sister to Earl Ulf (son-in-law to Cnut), and was married to God wine about 1019. He died in 1053. When Harold fell at Sen lac she was denied his body, though she offered its weight in gold. She then retired to Exeter, which the Conqueror took the next year. For a time she found refuge on the Steep Holm in the Bristol Channel, and afterwards went thence over sea to St. Oiuer's (' A.-S. Chron.,' 1067). The date of her death is unknown. C. S. WJLHD. I do not think the date of her death i« known. Freeman's ' Norman Conquest ' would, I suppose, give all that is known and would refer to the sources of inspiration for any statement made concerning her. She
