CARDINAL ALLEN (11 S. iv. 30, 78, 116). The following are copies (made for me recently) of the inscriptions on the monu- ment of Cardinal Allen in Rome :

The spelling of the name here, "Alan," is the same as in the will of the Cardinal's uncle Thomas Lyster of Westby, and may, no doubt, be considered the correct form.

GRAND SHARRI TEPHLIA (US. iv. 149). I imagine that the founder of this society was a perverted Hebrew. " Sharri Tephlia " seems a mere corruption or " vocalism " of " Shangerei Tephillah" or "the Gates of Prayer." I believe the Spanish Jews call their " Snogas " " Shangerei Tephillah " : hence the applied phrase.

MOOR, MORE, AND MOORY-GROUND (US. iii. 450 ; iv. 37). I am much interested in H. P. L.'s reply as to the origin of " moory ground." In this part of Hampshire a tree stump or root is called a " more " ; therefore the "Moory Ground" at Cramp - moor is probably the site of woods, and is possibly part of Ampfield Wood (An-field), said by Miss Charlotte Yonge in her ' Keble's Parishes ' to be " primeval."

The note on Skidmore is also most helpful, for Upton is in the adjoining parish of Nursling (anciently Nutshalling). Upton is represented by a few cottages and Upton House, interesting as having been the resi- dence of Admiral Sir Thomas Trowbridge of Nelsonic fame. F. H. SUCKLING.

"MAKE A LONG ARM" (US. iv. 44, 118, 158). From 1849 the expression "Will you make a long arm?" was commonly used by my grandfather and his family. We used to lay the authorship at their door, as they were rather apt in inventing expres- sions. E. C. WIENHOLT. Woodheys, West Park, Eltham.

COWPER ON LANGFORD (US. iv. 109, 151). It may be as well to mention that Lang- ford's epitaph is recorded by Cansick ('Epitaphs of Middlesex: St. Pancras,' 1869), and that the date of his death is there given as 18 September, 1774. With a few verbal differences, the lines reprinted from Lysons by MR. HUMPHREYS precede the following obituary records : Abraham Langford, Late of St. Paul, Covent Garden, Died 18 th of Sep r 1774 aged 63 years. Abraham Langford, Late of Highgate, Who died Oct r 11*M8 17

Aged 65 years.

Also Miss Elizabeth Langford,

Who died August 8 th 1830

Aged 47 years.

Mary Ann Langford,

Died Jan 20 th 1834

in her 50 th year.

" VIVE LA BELGE" (11 S. iv. 129, 174). The date of the visit of English volunteers to Belgium was July, 1869. When the teams were squadded for the shoot, some of the members recognized each other as belonging to the Masonic body, and after the match was over fraternized in a manner common to craftsmen. The Belgian brethren held a lodge of emergency to entertain their English fellow-craftsmen, and to commemo- rate the event had a bronze medal struck, and distributed among those who took part in the impromptu and particularly happy gathering. I was not there, but am rather proud to possess one of the medals then struck.

This medal is of bronze, and a little larger than a shilling, milled inside the rim and with plain outer edge. On the obverse, in compass form, covering the all-seeing eye in a triangle, are the words OR.'.DE LIEGE.
