" HlELANMAN ! HlELANMAN ! " 1 should

be glad to know where the whole of the following lines are from. : Hielanman ! Hielanman ! where were you born ? Away in the Hiclnns among the short corn. What did you see there but sibbies an' leeks, An' lang-legged Hielanmen wantin' the breeks ! And whar dae ye lie ? In th' byre wi' th' kye ! And whar dae ye sleep ? In th' cot wi' th' sheep A Scotch lady used to sing this to quaint music years ago. THOS. RATCLIFFE.

MURPHY AND FLYNN. Can any reader o: ' X. & Q.' inform me (1) from what Irish clans the two great families of the Murphys and the Flynns are descended ? and (2) whal were the kilt, sporran, and motto (if any assumed by either of the clans ?

ARTHUR THRUSH.

GERMAN STREET-NAMES. Wirtemberg Street and Chapel, near Clapham Common, were evidently built about seventy years ago. What was their origin ?

J. LANDFEAR LUCAS.

Glendora, Hindhead.

ROBERT LEYBORNE, Principal of St- Alban Hall, Oxford, died 13 May, 1759. He was twice married, and I should be" glad to obtain the dates and particulars of both marriages. The epitaph on the monument to his second wife in Bath Abbey Church gives no clue to her parentage.

HENRY RYDER, BISHOP OF KILLALOE, D. 1696. According to Cotton's ' Fasti Ecc. Hib.,' Ryder is said to have been a native of Paris, and to have been attainted by King James, 1689. I should be glad to learn the particulars of his parentage and also of his attaint. When and whom did he marry ? His son James, who was Prebendary of Cloyne, died in 1747.

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION WANTED. I should be glad to obtain information concerning the following Old Westminsters : (1) Ed- ward Lucy, scholar of Trinity College, Cam- bridge, in 1634. (2) George Lucy, who graduated M.A. at Cambridge from Trinity College in 1727. (3) Richard Lucy, who matriculated at Oxford from Christ Church in 1653. (4) Thomas Luddington, who graduated M.A. at Oxford from Christ Church in 1588. (5) Robert Lusher, who graduated B.D. at Cambridge from Trinity College in 1601. (6) William Lute, who was Virar of Ravensthorpe, co. Northampton, 1604-21. (7) Richard Lyndon, son of Sir John Lyndon, Knt., scholar of Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1694.

COTTERELL AND ITS VARIANTS. In hunting up Cotterell records I have come across the following instances of the name used as a place-name. Information is sought which would throw light on the origin of the use in the several localities :

Frampton Cotterell, a village in Glos., near Bristol.

Cotterell, a hamlet in Hemel Hempstead, Herts.

Cotterell (or Cottrell) is the name of the Manor House of Trehill, in the parish of St. Nicholas, Glamorgan.

Cottrell, near Cardiff.

Mount Cotterell, near Melbourne, Aus- tralia.

Mr. Robinson of the CottrilTs, near Ten- bury (referred to in a marriage notice), is identical with George Robinson, farmer, of the Cottrills, Tilsop, parish of Burford (' The Gazetteer Directory of Shropshire,' 1851).

Cotterell's Orchard, Chipping Campden. This is not now an orchard, but an enclosure where the natives still celebrate jubilees, coronations, &c.

HOWARD H. COTTERELL,

F.R.Hist.S., F.R.S.A.

Foden Boad, Walsall.

DICKENS AND WOODEN LEGS. A careful study of the novels of Dickens convinces me that, apart from the prime instance and crowning success of Mr. Wegg in ' Our Mutual Friend,' he had often throughout his career, a vision of wooden legs before him. Was it by earlier fiction or by a human example that the subject was kept in his mind ?

Macready had a servant with a wooden leg, but nothing beyond a bare mention of the fact is known to me in Dickensian literature. When did Dickens first see this servant ? and is there, in books about Macready, any information concerning him ?

OLD GOWN.

PRINTS IN 1837: "PROTEAN SCENERY." J. Miller, of 9, Holywell Street, a travelling vendor of boots, shoes, and strangely asso- ciated " Sporting, Humorous, and Fancy Prints," had a booth at Newmarket Fair in L837, issuing a very detailed handbill. Hia stock of prints is described as ' consisting of Transparencies, Metamor- phoses, Protean Scenery, Mezzotint Engravings, Jcott's Beauties, Plates from the Annals [ne], Views of the Thames, Life of a Brigand, Spirit of the Songs, Fancy Sketches, Tregear's Flighta of Humour and Bum Jokes, Seymour's popular Sketches, Grant's Oddities, Whim Whams, Spooner's Notions for the agreeable, Copper-plate Engravings, Fox and Stag Hunting, Coursing,
