NOTES AND QUERIES.

his "kinswoman" Anne Goring, wife of Richard Gifford (second son of Sir Wm. Gifford of Ichell, Hants).

Anne is said to have been " daughter of John Goring of Burton, Sussex." She was certainly a sister of Constance, daughter of John Goring of Burton, since Constance, wife of Sir John Kingsmill, Kt., Justice of Common Pleas, in her will, dated March 1, 1594 (P.C.C. 24 Darcy), names her " sister Gifford." In the will of John Goring of Burton, proved Feb. 8, J 520/21 (P.C.C.), is mention of his daughters Sibil, Elinor, Jane, and Anne. The kinship of Anne Goring (Mrs. Gifford) to Thomas Bainbridge (Barn- bridge) is rather important for the history of the Manor of East Tytberley. In 'N. & Q.' (ante, p. 41), in ' Oxfordinthe Great Civil War,' by MB. A. R. BAYLEY, reference is made to John Bambridge, M.D., 1582- 1643, physician and astronomer, pupil and kinsman of Dr. Joseph Hall, whose mother was Winifred Bambridge, " a strict Puritan." This latter fact, coupled with the burning of Thomas Bambridge in 1558 for Puritanism, suggests this inquiry in the hope that some kind reader will reply to F. H. S.

AN ANCIENT WELSH TRIAD. Among the great number oi memorable Triads, or three- fold moral sentences, in which the literature of ancient Wales abounds, the following one may be noteworthy :

" There are three kinds of men : the man of God t who returns good for evil ; the man of mankind, who returns good for good, and evil for evil ; and the man of Satan, who returns evil for good."

It would be desirable, and deserve to be quoted, if one of your correspondents could kindly give us the original words in Cymric of this Triad, and refer to its printed source.

JAMES WILSON, M.P. Who was James Wilson of Sneaton Castle, Yorks, M.P. for York 1826-30, who died in Brunswick Place, Regent's Park, Sept. 7, 1830 ?

W. R. W.

THOMAS YATES, M.P. Is anything known of Thomas Yates of Chichester, M.P. for that town 1734-41, defeated there March, 1733, when styled Col. Yates ? Was he related to Henry Yates, M.P. for Horsham 1695-1702 ?

DB. THOMAS CHEVALIEB. I am anxious to know if Dr. Thomas Chevalier, Surgeon Extraordinary to King George III., and well known as a writer, who was born in 1767, was of the same family as Lord

I Kitchener's mother, whose maiden name was Chevallier. There are two Ts in the latter' s name. Dr. T. Chevalier was des- cended from the Huguenots, and so was Lord Kitchener ; therefore it may possibly be the same family, in spite of the difference in spelling. F E. C.

SNOB AND GHOST. I saw in The Northamp- ton Herald recently a notice of the transfer of a beerhouse licence, the name of the said house being the Snob and Ghost (or Ghost and Snob). I think it was at Hardingstone, Northants.

Can any reader enlighten me about this name ? Snob may be for " journeyman shoemaker," or " a townsman " according to Webster, but Snob and Ghost beats me.

HEBBEW INSCBIPTION, SHEEPSHED, LEI- CESTEBSHIBE. Mr. David H. of Birmingham in The Jewish Record (London), June 4, 1869, refers to an old house in the village of Sheepshed, Leicestershire, with the follow- ing inscription on a stone over the doorway :

G.Y. 1694.

Is anything known about this ? Is it referred to in any local histories ?

H AGO ATT FAMILY. (See 11 S. xii. 9.) 1. Can any correspondent assist me to trace the relationship, if any, between Bartholomew Haggatt, English Consul Aleppo, 1614-15 (vide Guillim's ' Display of Heraldry '), and Bartholomew Hagget, Communar Wells Cathedral, 1585 to 1590 ?

2. The Calendar of MSS. of the Dean and Chapter of Wells states : " John Haggatt installed by proxy in the prebend of Combe XV. pursuant of mandate of the Bishop. 6 June, 1581." Information is sought concerning him. H. C. B.

WILL OF CECILY, DUCHESS or YOBK. Can any one say where are now to be found the originals of the wills printed by Sir N. H. Nicolas in ' Testamenta Vetusta ' 1 Search in the P.R.O. and the British Museum has BO far failed to discover any of them. The will of Cecily (Neville), Duchess of York, as given by Sir N. H. Nicolas, contains some puzzling entries. Is any verbatim transcript of it known ? All printed versions are copies of Sir N. H. Nicolas, apparently.
