 ii B.VL NOV. Q. 1912.] NOTES AND QUERIES.

One also dragged a woman out, and then " saw all the heads drop back again in at the port hole, for the ship had got so much on her larboard side, that the starboard port holes were as upright as if the men had tried to get out of the top of a chimney with nothing for their legs and feet to act upon."

AND THE AMBBOSIAN RITE (11 S. v. 447; vi. 32). Through the kind- ness of the Rev. M. Civati of Milan, I am able to answer my own query. Campione is still in the archdiocese of Milan, and still follows the Ambrosian Rite. Its Latin name is " Camplonum in Intel vis." There are thirty-four parishes in the archdiocese of Milan which follow the Roman Rite. On the other hand, there are fifty-four parishes in the diocese of Lugano (at present united with that of Basle), twenty- five in the diocese of Bergamo, and nine in the diocese of Novara, which in the present year of grace observe the Ambrosian Rite.

ITALIAN GENEALOGY (11 S. vi. 291). Other families bearing simply vair or vairy (di vajo pieno) are Campomarino, Ughi di Firenze, and Varano di Camerino,

" una delle piu celebri case principesche d'ltalia, avendo regnato dal XIII. al XVI. secolo in Came- rino, prima col titolo di Vicari della Santa Sede e quindi con quello di Duchi conferitole dal Ponteflce Leone X."

Would the " illustre maison des Marquis de Corilanne " perhaps refer to the Corigliano family of Lucera ?

" Dei Marchesi di Rignano. Nobilissima, e imparentata con le primarie famiglie napoletane. Ebbe molti dei suoi ascritti all' Ordine gero- solimitano di Malta."

Unfortunately the arms appear to be unknown. The references are from Crol- lalanza's ' Dizionario.'

With regard to the Anger or Angier family " (ramage de Loheae), s r du Plessis- Anger, paroisse de Lieuron," &c., the arms given in P. de Courcy's ' Nobiliaire de Bretagne ' are

" De vair au baton (alids : a trois croissants), de gueules. Alidx : de sable a trois fleurs de lys d'or. Devise : Fides."

" CASTLE TAVERN," ELTHAM (11 S. vi. 288). This was an old-established house of call in the palmy coaching days, and has recently been rebuilt. In digging for the foundations of the new house three seven- teenth-century tokens were found and a

couple of farthings of Charles I. Two tokens of the same period, issued at Eltham, are known to collectors ; one of them is in- scribed " The Castell Taverne in Eltham 1649," with the initials "X. T. M."

In the uneasy times of 1808 a troop of volunteer cavalry was raised in the district, of which " Richard Bourke, Licensed Vic- tualler of the Castle," was a member.

I subjoin an extract relating to this tavern from ' The Story of Royal Eltham,' by R. R. C. Gregory :

" The old inn was pulled down a few years ago, and the present modern and somewhat imposing structure was erected upon the site after the usual ' se_t back ' of the foundations. It was an old posting house. The coaches passing this way always stopped at the Castle. Two ' tokens ' are in existence which prove the antiquity of this tavern. One of these is possessed by Mr. Whittaker Smith the other was in the possess! on of Dr. Jeken, who has placed it in the care of Mr. Taffs. The legend of these tokens is as follows : O. the . Castell, Taverne A Castle. B. in . Eltham . 1649 N. T. M. In this case it will be noticed that only the initials of the land- lord and landlady are given. The trade value of this token was one farthing."

JAMES BROOKE (US. vi. 289). The wife of James Brooke and Mrs. F. Brooke are two different persons. R. M. may be forgiven the confusion, for their contem- porary, the voluminous writer Samuel Jackson Courtney Pratt (Courtney Mel- moth), actually called on Mrs. James Brooke, supposing her to be Mrs. F. The latter lady was the author of ' Julia Mande- ville ' and ' Emily Montague,' as well as of ' Rosina,' which was a musical " after- piece " set to music by Shield.

Mrs. James Brooke did die in 1782 of cancer, and was buried in the old church- yard at Marylebone, her funeral being attended by John Taylor.

STERNE AND " DR. SLOP " (BURTON OF YORK) (11 S. vi. 290). In 'A Handbook to York and District, prepared for the 75th Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, 1906,' we were told at p. 229 that Dr. Burton was born at Colchester in 1710. Mr. Robert H. Skaife, writer of the chapter of ' Biographical Sketches of Eminent Citizens,' referred his readers to a paper by Mr. Robert Davies in the second volume of The Yorkshire Archceo- 'ogical Journal.
