POOR = PAUPER. A movement is on foo with some guardians for the disuse of th< word " pauper " for the chargeable poor o the country. I think I have seen somewhere an account of the substitution of this wore for the word " poor " in response to public sentiment, but am unable to trace it. I: some readers of ' N. & Q.' can give me the necessary reference, I shall be grateful.

REV. JAMES HERVEY. The correspond ence of the Rev. James Hervey, sometime Incumbent of Weston Fa veil, Northampton shire, has been partially printed with omis sion of most proper names. Can any of your readers inform me whether manuscript collections of his correspondence exist in private or public custody ?

CARLYLE'S ' SARTOR RESARTUS.' In ' Sartor Resartus,' book iii. chap. xi. (Tailors), Carlyle records that " Queen Elizabeth, receiving a deputation ol Eighteen Tailors, addressed them with a ' Good morning, Gentlemen both ! ' '

and further alludes to a boast made by the same queen that she had a regiment of tailors on mares, " whereof neither horse nor man could be injured." Can you tell me what is the authority for these anecdotes? Further, can you tell me whether any special significance attaches to the choice of the two towns in the expression " Kings sweated down into Berlin-and-Milan Custom house officers " in part ii. chap. viii. of the same work ? P. C. PARR.

AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED. I should be glad to know the respective sources of two quotations found on p. 48 of Break- spear and Evans's ' Tintern Abbey.' The first is attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux:

" Bonum est nos hie esse, qaia homo vivit purius, nadit rarius, surgit velocius, incedit cautius, quiescit securius, moritur felicius, pur- gatur citius, prtemiatur copiosius."

A translation of this sentence forms the beginning of the third sonnet in part ii. of the ' Ecclesiastical Sonnets ' of Words- worth. In a note the poet gives his source as " Dr. Whitaker," apparently referring to Whitaker's ' Antiquities of Craven.' I wish to know the context in Bernard. The second passage is this : Bernardus valles, colles Benedictus amabat, Oppida Franciscus, magnas Ignatius urbes.

CAMBRIDGE COLLEGE MOTTOES. In what book can I find recorded the mottoes of all these colleges ? I recently wrote to the publishers of ' The Cambridge University Calendar,' suggesting that it might perhaps be considered an improvement to that book if beneath the college arms, which are repre- sented in the Calendar, the mottoes were also given ; but their reply was that there is " no authority for the mottoes as far as we know."

' THE ECCLESIASTIC.' Can any of your readers tell me where I may obtain access to The Ecclesiastic of the date October, 1853 ? This paper is not filed in the B.M., nor, I think, in the Bodleian. E. M. Fox.

SANCROFT FAMILY. Could any of your correspondents give me information re that part of the Sancroft family usually called the Yarmouth branch, in distinction from the Fressingfield branch although pro- bably in earlier times one and the same family ? There was a Dr. James Sancroft who, according to The Gentleman's Magazine, died at Yarmouth in 1840, upwards of 80 years of age, and was buried, I presume, with his wife Ann Leach Haselum in St. Nicholas's Churchyard : who was his father ? A brother of the doctor was Lieut. William Sancroft, B.M., Newport, Isle of Wight ; a portrait of him is dated 1790. Any information respecting him also would be much esteemed. R. HEFFER.

DOGS IN CHURCHES. In the recent exhibition of Old Masters at Burlington House was a picture (No. 25) lent by Lord Huntingfield, and painted by Peter Neefs (1577-1660), representing 'An Interior of a Church,' looking towards the high altar, figures in the foreground, among them a man with a dog. Other old paintings of hurch interiors frequently include a man and a dog. In Graham Moffat's Mid- Victorian Scottish comedy at the Hay- market Theatre ' Bunty Pulls the Strings ' the churchyard scene shows a shepherd and his dog entering the church together, "or the service.

Were dogs in modern or earlier times allowed to enter churches during or between he services, in the L^nited Kingdom or on he Continent ? J. LANDFEAR LUCAS.
