NOTES AND QUERIES.

289

WILKIXS: HAUTENVILLE : RAWDON. Did a daughter of Josiah Wilkins, Dean of

Down, marry Hautenville, whose son

is said to have married a Miss Rawdon ? Who was Miss Rawdon ? E. E. COPE. Finchampstead Place, Berks.

ORIGIN OF STREET-NAMES. Can any one give the origin of the street -names " High Timber Street," in Upper Thames Street, and " Little Durweston Street," Crawford Street, Marylebone ? T. S.

FATHER JOHN or CRONSTADT. I should be grateful for notes of articles on, or refer- ences to, Father John in English, and also in foreign publications, as well as for any other bibliographical items. Such material as I have comes from the side of his admirers, and I am seeking in particular statements criticizing his teaching and character, and giving the evidence upon which various kinds of extravagance have been imputed to persons regarded as his adherents.

PEREGRINTJS.

GERMANS AND THE BAYONET. The fre- quent hand-to-hand encounters in the pre- sent war have gone to falsify common calculations as to the necessary character of modern fighting. Neglect of the bayonet seems to have put the Germans at con- siderable disadvantage. On what principle have the German military authorities more or less rejected a weapon which has as con- spicuous a record of deadly success as any ever invented ? F. H.

' LOVE OK PRIDE ? ' A NOVEL. Is the authorship of this story known ? An Eng- lish translation from the Swedish original, by Miss Annie Wood (afterwards Mrs. John Procter), appeared in 1873. The Athenaeum at the time suggested that the story was, perhaps, by the Baroness von Knorring, and it has also been attributed to Madame Marie Schwartz. R. B.

GILES GEFFRY OR GEFFERAY : " BACHE- LOR GYLES." In the course of a discourse against treason calendared by Dr. Gairdner, ' Letters and Papers, Hen. VIII.,' vol. xiv. pt. ii. n. 613, the writer says: -

" I wys, neither the abbot of Reading, the abbot of Glassenbery nor the prior of Colchester, Dr. Holy-man nor Roger London, John Rugg nor JJachi-lor Gyles, Blind Moore nor Master Man- chester, the warden of the Friars, no, nor yet John Oynyon, the abbot's chief councillor, were able to prove with all their sophistical arguments that the mass was ordained for any such intent or purpose as the abbot of Reading used it."

The abbots of Reading, Glastonbury, and Colchester, with John Rugg and William Oynyon or Eynon, were all executed for treason : the Abbot of Colchester on 1 Dec., the other four on 15 Nov., 1539. Dr. Holy- man died Bishop of Bristol in 1558.

Among those who were in the Tower, 20 Nov., 1539 (Gairdner, op. cit., n. 554), may be mentioned " Roger London, monk of Reading," who took the degree of B.D. at Oxford, 17 Oct., 1534 ; " Peter Lorance, which was warden of the Grey Friars in Reading ; Giles Coventre, which was a friar of the same house ;.... Ric. Manchester," who was a priest of the Savoy, and seems to have died before 8 Nov., 1541 ; and " Wm. Moore, the blind harper," who was in receipt of his salary from the King in 1541.

One might think that Giles Coventry was " Bachelor Gyles," but that no one of this name is known to have taken a Bachelor's degree. I should be grateful for definite information as to what happened to London, Lorance, Coventry, Manchester, and Moore; but what I particularly desire is anything which would enable'me to identify " Bachelor Gyles " with Giles Gefferay, or Geffry, who entered Winchester College from Hunton, near Winchester, in 1530, aged 12 on the feast of Easter last past ; became a Fellow of New College, after two years' probation as Scholar there, 9 March, 1536/7; and was deprived of his Fellowship in 1540, and died in prison. When was Giles Gefferay imprisoned ? and when did he die ?

JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT.

SOLDIERS' UNIFORM: KHAKI. In what campaign was the old red coat last worn by British soldiers ? I understand that khaki was worn by all the troops in the Boer War, but cannot find any authority for its having been worn by the whole British force in any operation of importance previous to that.

WALTER BAGEHOT. How is his name pronounced ? Is it Bagott, with hard g and t pronounced, or Baijot, with g soft and t mute ? The query has, I think, been answered before in ' N. & Q.,' but I cannot find the reference. T. F. D.

RICHARD OF CIRENCESTER. In the ac- count of Charles Bertram given in ' D.N.B.' it is said : " Bertram's forgery " the work known by the title of ' Richard of Ciren- cester on the Ancient State of Britain ' " though now repudiated by all competent scholars, still continues to mislead ill-informed
