NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. i. APRIL 22,

THE SECOND WIFE OF JOHN MOYLE OF EASTWELL, KENT (12 S. i. 189). I fear the pedigree which states that the above lady was " a daughter of Sir Robert Drury of Essex " is in error, for I know of no Sir Robert of that county, and although there have been a number of knights of the name of Robert, the one living at the time indicated was of Hawstead, in the county of Suffolk. None of his daughters, however, married John Moyle, unless it was as a widow ; but of this I cannot be certain. It looks, however, like a confusion of the names Darcy and Drury. And I might here point out a similar error which occurs in Lysons's ' Derbyshire,' p. 272. Under " Sutton-on- the-Hill " it says : " Bassano's volume of church notes mentions the tomb of Margaret, Lady Sleigh, daughter of Sir Richard Drury." This is incorrect. It should be Darcy, and not Drury.

COTTERILL : CONNEXION WITH THE CON- TINENT (12 S. i. 229). I cannot say where the Cotterilli dwelt, but that they were a tribe or people, and not merely a species of savage soldiery (see Du Cange), may, I think, be rightly inferred from a passage in chap, viii., bk. ii., of Girald de Barry's ' De- scription of Wales,' " How this nation is to be overcome." It is not to be done, he says,

" by the counsels of the people of Anjou and the Normans .... [but] .... by the natives of the [Welsh] marches, inhabited by the English. .... By such men were the first hostile attacks made upon Wales. . . . For the Flemings, Normans, Coterels, and Bragmans are good and well-disci plined soldiers."

About thirty-three years before Girald wrote this, there was in " Herefordshire in Wales " a certain Walter Coterel receiving fixed alms of 60s. Wd. from the sheriff (Pipe Koll 5 Hen. II.). In Shropshire, too, at about the same time, and in Glamorgan at a later date, other Coterels were to be found. AP THOMAS.

LEITNER (12 S. i. 48, 133). I do not know why it should be supposed that the dis- tinguished Oriental scholar Gottfried W. Leitner should have borne a fictitious name. I was introduced to him in the early sixties of the last century by a mutual German friend, who at that time was tutor in Mr. de Bunsen's family at Hanover Gate, Regent's Park. He was appointed to a chair at King's College, London, and remained there until he went to India. L. G. R.

DISRAELI AND MOZART (12 S. i. 167). [f Mozart was a Jew, it seems remarkable that he should have been made a Christian so early. Was he not born on Jan. 27 he feast day of St. John Chrysostom, and >aptized the same day with the name& John Chrysostom Wolfgang Amadeus ? I quote from memory. S. G. Ouux

REV. ROWLAND HILL (12 S. i. 189, 273). Rowland Hill was born at Hawkstone, near Shrewsbury, 1744, and died at hi& louse in the Blackfriars Road, London,. April 11, 1833. On April 19, according to ais own request, he was interred in a brick vault beneath the pulpit of Surrey Chapel,. Blackfriars. A suitably inscribed slab was. placed over the grave, and in front of the organ gallery a marble memorial was accorded a conspicuous position. Owing to difficulties- in the renewal of the lease of the building, the congregation removed in 1881 to a new chapel, which had been erected in the West- minster Bridge Road through the untiring efforts of their minister, the Rev. Newman Hall. At the base of the Lincoln Tower of the new building, known as Christ Church, a vault was prepared to receive the remains of Rowland Hill, and here they were reinterred at 6 o'clock in the morning of April 14, 1881. The coffin was found to be still in the best possible preservation, and the inscription thereon was then copied as follows :

The Rev. Rowland Hill t Obit April 11, 1833, in his 89th year. Minister of Surrey Chapel

nearly fifty years. N

Over the grave was deposited the same slab of black marble which covered it in Surrey Chapel. On the wall of the tower above the grave was also placed the inscribed! memorial, surmounted by his medallion, taken from the organ gallery of the old chapel. The following are the inscriptions :
