 NOTES AND QUERIES. [11 s. ix. JAN. 17,

and then returned to his- meal. A short time afterwards he again took a survey of the vessel, and then remarked to his wife : " Well, now, I could have sworn when I first looked that she had five funnels, but now it seems she has only got four/' His wife remarked in reply : " Ah ! Willie, you know you are always so positive about everything ! " It was during this short interval that the explosion occurred by which one of the funnels had been blown out on to the deck. W. S RR.

DOUGLAS EPITAPH IN BOHEMIA (11 S. viii. 505). Another member of this great clan, resident in Austria, was John Sholto Douglass (sic). He perished while hunting on 15 Sept., 1875, aged 36. The scene of his death was not far from his home at Thiiringen, near Bludenz (Vorarlberg), where he is stated to have owned a factory. In. his honour was named the Douglass Club hut above Bludenz and at the foot of the Scesaplana. (See the Mitteilungen of the German and Austrian Alpine Club, 1875, pp. 26-7 and 96.)

Grindelwald, Switzerland.

CAPT. JOHN WARDE, 1544-1601, OF YALD- ING, KENT (11 S. viii. 509). With reference to COL. FYNMORE'S query, there was a William Warde, Mayor of Dover \.D. 1612 1613, 1618, and 1619. He was a Deputy Lieutenant of Dover Castle.

JOHN BAVINGTON JONES. Dover.

RICHARD ANDREWES (US. vii. 70, 135). I fear I cannot throw light upon the ancestor of this conspicuous dealer in abbey lands. He is alternately described as of Oxford and as of Hayles, co. Glos. the latter between March, 1542, and March, 1548. ^.fter this, and upon assigning the said abbey to Lord Seymour of Sudeley, he is described as of Daventry, gent. Perhaps he belonged to Northamptonshire.

CASES OF DUPLICATE MARRIAGE (11 S. vm. 410, 455, 495). The marriage of Robert Codrington and Agnes Samwell is entered m the Parish Register of Gayton, Northants, 21 April, 1674. This marriage is also entered in the Register of Wapley, Glouc. Again, the daughter of this couple, Agnes, was married according to the Didmarton Register 11 Nov., 1699, to Charles Scrope of Castlecombe, and this marriage is also entered in the Wapley book, with the date

13 Nov., 1699. Hop ton Wyndham, men- tioned by CROSS-CROSSLET at the last refer- ence, was nephew of Robert Codrington above, and first cousin to Mrs. Scrope. There are thus three examples of this- double entering of marriages in two genera- tions : enough to show that it was nothing uncommon. R. H. C.

MILITARY : COLOURED PRINT WANTED* (US. viii. 489 ; ix. 37). There is a book called ' Costumes of the Indian Army : a Series of Coloured Aquatints after Martens, Heath r and Daubrawa ' ; the author is R. Acker- mann, 1840-49. This contains several pic- tures in colour of the Bengal Horse Artillery. A book isued by the Connoisseur Pub- lishing Co., 1909, entitled 'British Military Prints,' contains a bibliography of military prints, and the book referred to ('Costumes of the Indian Army ' ) is mentioned and its contents set out.

HAMLETT, PROFILE ARTIST (US. viii. 350). The following appears in Mrs. NevilF Jackson's 'History of Silhouettes,' 1911 r published by The Connoisseur.

"Hamlet (1779-1808). Label on a portrait painted on glass of His Serene Highness Count Beaujolais, brother to Louis Philippe of Orleans, afterwards King of France, 'done for the Parry Family. Bath, April, 1807.' His addresses are 12, Union Street, on a portrait of Princess Sophia in the Wellesley collection, and 17, Union Passage." RlCHD. HOLWORTHY.

PICTURE-CARDS (11 S. viii. 408, 471). I have experimented at seven shops in different localities by asking for " picture- cards." Six asked doubtfully if I meant " picture-postcards," the seventh brought (without asking) a packet of cards with religious pictures, suitable for Sunday schools. This seems to show that " picture-card " does not universally connote picture-postcard.

In Miss Trench's (?) ' Story of Dr. Pusey's Life ' (1900) occurs the following (p. 530) :

"It must have been during this summer [1880]

at Ascot, that, seeming out of heart one day on

account of the increase of infidelity, he took up a little picture-card, with the words underneath I do the little I can do, And leave the rest to Thee, and spoke of it as comforting."

"DILLING" (11 S. viii. 468). As the ' N.E.D.' gives no illustrative quotation of " dilling " from the eighteenth century, it may be worth noting that in Bailey's ' Dic- tionary ' (1736 ed.) the word occurs: " Dilling. . . .a child born when the parents are old." E. M. F.
