 NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. 71. MAY s, 1920,

interest is that on the statue of Charles I. After reciting his titles it proceeds :

"Bis Martyris (in Corpore & Effigie) impiis Re- bellium manibus ex hoc loco deturbata & confracta, anno Doni. 1647.

Restituta & hie demum collocata

Anno Dora. 1683.

Gloria martyrii qui te fregere Rebelles Non potuere ipsum quern voluere Deum."

The exact date of these statues is appar- ently not published, but we may infer it is immediately prior to 1684, when an 8-foot high statue of Charles II. in a Roman habit was completed by Grinling Gibbons and erected on a pedestal in the centre of the area.

We must request correspondents desiring in- formation on family matters of only private interest to affix their names and addresses to their queries in order that answers may be sent to them direct.

OLD STAINED GLASS. 1. Old Stained Glass from New College, Oxford. Can any- one tell me what became of the two boxes of old stained glass from New College, Oxford, which stood in Winchester College Cloisters in 1845, and are supposed to have been given in 1850 to Bradford Peverell Church, Dorset ? Also when the glass was removed from New College, what it repre- sented, and where it may now be seen ? What records are there ?

2. Old Stained Glass from Winchester College. Can anyone tell me what has become of the old stained glass removed from Winchester College by Messrs. Betton & Evans of Shrewsbury at their restoration in 1832, what it consisted of, and where any portions may now be seen ? What authority is there for thinking there is any at Ludlow or St. Xeots, Cornwall ?

3. Messrs. Betton & Evans's (of Shrews- bury) Work. In what churches in the country did Messrs. Betton & Evans of Shrewsbury restore the old glass or put in new windows, and who were the successors to their business and records at their decease ? WM. M. DODSON.

THE IRISH IN SPAIN. In " Southey's Commonplace Book, First Series," at pp. 172-3, I find :

" Es justo se repare, en que aunque los Irlandeses es gente muy Catolica, yde no dauadas costumbres. son muchos los que han venido a Espaiia, sin que en tanto immero se halle uno que se aya aplicado &

las artes, o al trabajo de la labranza ni a otra algan* ocupacion, mas qu a mendigar ; siendo gravamen y carga de la Republica. Justissimo es amparar a los que por causa de la Fe han dexado su patrie ; pera t.ambien lo es, que ellos se apliqien a exercer en- Eapaiia las miasmas artes y oticios que tenian en su tierra, siendo impossible que en tanto numero de gente fuesaen tpdos nobles y holgazares, cpmo lo- quieren ser aca." Navarrete, ' Conservation de Monarquias,' disc. 7, p. 57.

Freely translated, this means :

" It is just that reparation should be made as- although the Irish are a very Catholic nation and not of bad customs there are never-the-less many who have come to Spain of whom not one can be: found who has applied himself to art, labour, or any other occupation other than begging, and has-, not become a burden on the country.

" It is very just to help those who have left their country on account of the Faith ; but it is also just that they should apply themselves to exercising in Spain the same arts and occupations that they followed in their own country.

"It is impossible that such a large number of people should all be noblemen and Idlers as they wish to be here."

I should be obliged if any correspondent could give the date of the work cited by Southey. JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT.

BBOWNING : THE FLOWER'S NAME. In- formation is desired as to the identity of the flower with the " soft meandering Spanish name," mentioned by Browning in ' Garden. Fancies : I. The Flower's Name.'

NURSERY RIME WANTED. Where can. the nursery rime be found which commences- thus :

asked how real was made,

His little sister smiled "It oomes IroBi foreign climes, she said,

And called him " Silly child ! ' I forget the name of the questioner, but some- such name as Philip. I remember the poem some sixty years ago, on the outside of a. square-shaped (royal 16mo), stiff paper- backed book, called ' Rhymes and Jingles.'
