 34 NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. vii. JULY 10, 1920. aggression," viz., the bull creating Roman Catholic Bishops in England, and contained references to High Churchmen as "unworthy , sons of the Church " and to Roman practices '.as "the mummeries of superstition," was .received with unbounded enthusiasm by Protestants, and with equal disgust by High Churchmen and Roman Catholics. In Feb- ruary, 1851, a bill was passed rendering illegal the assumption in England of eccle- siastical titles by Roman Catholic priests; but it was suffered to fall into desuetude. A. R. BAYLEY. (FThe pomatum pot doubtless dates from the " Papal aggression " of 1850, as to which see chaps, xvii. and xviii. of Wilfrid Ward's (London, 1897). JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT. OLD STAINED GLASS (12 S. vi. 188, 231, 281, 314; vii. 17). With reference to the figures of St. Barbara and St. George in the centre north Chancel window in Ludlow Church which are claimed by Mr. H. T Weyman to have been brought by Messrs. Betton and Evans from Winchester when they restored that window at Ludlow in 1854, my attention has been drawn to the fact, which may interest Mr. le Couteur, that those two figures (with several of the other Saints still there) were in that identical window years before Messrs. Betton and Evans ever touched or attempted to restore it. Honce, they could not have been brought from Winchester. Mr. Thomas Wright, F.S.A., in his 'History of Ludlow and Neighbourhood ' 1852 (two years before the restoration by Betton and Evans), writes of tho Ludlow -windows (p. 463) : " The north side appears to have been more resplendent in colouring, though the work of mutilation has been carried to a greater extent than on the corresponding side. Elaborate tabernacle work surmounts the figures, among which may be distinguished St. Barbara, St. Leonard, St. Apol Ionia, St. George, St. Catharine, St. Elined, the Virgin and Child, and an English Queen, supported by archangels." Tho St. John whch Mr. Ls Contour says Mr. Weyman claims as " having been almost certainly brought from Winchester " is in tho west window on the south side of the Chancel. The position of these two windows seems to have got a little confused. Whilst thanking Prof. Bonsly for his reply, giving the position of Messrs. Betton and Evans' old workshop in Shrewsbury, 1 shall be grateful if he can help us in in- vestigating- and clearing up any more of the points' of interest (see 12 S. vi. 281), relating to the old firm and their restora- tions (?) in the Shrewsbury district. Is there any " Old Stained Glass " in St. Chad's and St. Alkmund's Churches, Shrews- bury, and, if so, what is its history and what does it represent '( WM. M. DODSON. 55 Broad Street, Ludlow. MOSTYN HOUSE RIFLES (12 S. vi. 335). This w r as a misnomer for the cadet corps of Mostyn House School, Parkgate, Cheshire, a preparatory school of 100-150 boys, the only one that ever drew (for years) a grant of Service ammunition from the Govern- ment, and used it. This cadet corps was officially attached to the Cheshire Regiment, 1st V.B., and was extinguished after thirteen glorious years o? figuring in the Army List, by the Territorial and O.T.C. reforms. Eighty-three of its members were killed in the war. D'Arcy Gordon was the school organist. He is now dead. Where can I get a copy of Aialanta? I have lost mine and should like to have one or its publisher's name. Mr. Bulloch, of The Graphic, has written me the same questions to-day. A. G. GRENFELL, Head Master. M.ostyn House School, Parkgate, Cheshire. CURIOUS SURNAMES (12 S. vi. 68, 115, 196, 238, 282, 302, 321; vii. 15). At the second reference are quoted lines which begin 'Cheshire born, Cheshire bred.' Now these lines I have always known as belong- ing exclusively to the neighbouring county of Derbyshire, and as a Derbyshire man I set up my counterclaim to them. They are known as follows : Darbyshire born an' Darbyshire bred Strong i'th arm, an' wick i'th yed Bu' they're ar'th' mon Who get iron an' lead. " Mon " is singular and plural for " men " and " w T ick " means lively and clear in the head. I am jealous of my county's reputa- tion. THOS. RATCLIFFE. Southfield, Worksop. In the Parish Register of Cranford, Middlesex, there are several entries to mem- bers of the " Clinkadagger " family, and one to " Pick up Brown at Hide Park Corner," who "was buried Mar. 31, 1745."
