moist sugar, gin, and nutmeg." Halliwel in his dictionary may have taken his defini tion from 'Pickwick,' substituting the won " composed " for " compounded." In French " nez-de-chien " is a " melange debiere eti d'eau-de-vie, dans 1'argot de faubouriens. Avoir le nez de chien. Etre gris parce qu'on ne boit pas impunment ce melange ('Dictionnaire de la Langue Verte,' par Alfre Delvau, nouvelle edit. ? 1883).

See also Barrere's 'Argot and Slang,' 1887.

The passage from ' The Old Curiosity Shop' given ante, p. 415, refers apparently t hot ale, not to dog's nose, unless the name of the liquor was determined by the shape o the heater. (See ante, pp. 253, 414.)

BUTLER OP TODERSTAFF (10 th S. v. 468). Toderstaff Hall is in Poulton - le - Fylde (Lancashire) ; it is now occupied as a farm- house. In the sixteenth century the widow of the brother of Cardinal Allen lived there for a short time. Alexander Butler, ol Toderstaff Hall, married Dorothy, daughter of Thomas Singleton (of Staining), who was buried at Poulton in June, 1687. She had a daughter Elizabeth, who married Robert Worswick. Another Alexander Butler, possibly a son of the above-named Alexander, lived at Toderstaff Hall ; he died in 1725, and letters of administration were taken out at Richmond. (See "' Richmond Wills, Lane, and Chesh. Record Society, vol. xiii.)

The wife of Thomas Singleton was Dorothy, daughter of James Anderton, of Clayton, Esq. (See Chetharn Soc., vol. viii. new series.) HENRY FISHWICK.

Alexander Butler, of Toderstaff Hall, near Blackpool, Lancashire, was fifth son of Henry Butler, of Rawcliffe (d. 1667), by his third marriage with Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Grimston, of Grimston Garth, East Yorkshire, and his wife Dorothy, daughter of Marmaduke Thwaites, of Smeaton. Alex- ander Butler married Dorothy, daughter of Thomas Singleton, of Staining, Lancashire, and had issue a daughter Elizabeth.

CATTERTON SMITH (10 th S. v. 287). It is more than probable that, as suggested in the editorial note, V. K. T. is referring to Catter- son Smith, a well-known portrait painter of last century. He was born at Skipton in Craven, Yorkshire, in 1806, and settled in before the midcjle of the century. He

was elected a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts in 1844, and was President from 1859 to 1864. I have a catalogue of the Twenty-third Exhibition of the Royal Hibernian Academy, held in 1849. Catter- son Smith's name appears in this amongst the fourteen Academicians. He is described as " Portrait Painter to His Excellency the Earl of Clarendon," and his address is given as 42, Stephen's Green, East. He had four pictures in this exhibition, i.e., three portraits and a sketch from nature. The portraits were of Major-General Birch, R.A., Corry Connellan, Esq., and u a portrait of the Rev. Dr. Wall, Vice-Provost of Trinity College, Dublin, presented to the Rev. Dr. Wall by his former pupils, and is, at the unanimous request of the Junior Fellows, to be placed in the Combination Room of Trinity College." Smith died in 1872.

DANIEL TUVILL OR TUTEVIL (10 th S. v. 461). John Owen has an epigram (ed. 1622, second coll., No. 48), addressed to John larington, son of Lord Harington, in which le praises " Toueus," who was his " cultor," and says that Britain has few doctors like lira.

According to Aubrey, Milton was for a ime in the tuition of "Dr. Tovell, who dyed parson of Lutterworth," which Warton uggests should be "Dr. Tovey, parson of Cegworth, in Leicestershire"; see 1 st S. iv. ^,41. W. C. B.
