 12 s. vii. JULY IT, 1920.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 49 CONTINUATION OF ' DON JUAN.' I have a small volume entitled ' Don Juan : XVlIth and XVIIIth Cantos.' published by Arliss Andrews, Ltd., 31 Museum Street, London, W.C. It is undated. Apparently, it is a continuation of Byron's work, though nothing is said by way of introduction. Who was responsible for this sequel ? C. P. HALE. KIPLING : REFERENCE WANTED. Could somebody tell me in which of Kipling's stories the following appears : " There are not many happinesses so complete &8 those that are snatched under the shadow of the sword." J. R. H. SEBVINGTON FAMILY OF DEVON, DORSET, AND SOMERSET. I should be glad to know in what churches in Devon, Dorset and Somerset there are memorials of the extinct family of Servington : the earliest I have come across is the monumental effigy of Sir Oliver de Servington about 1340 (olst of Edward III. and 5th of Richard II. ), in Whatley Church, Frome, Somerset, which has the arms, Ermine, on a chevron azure three bucks heads cabossed or, any in- formation will be gratefully received. LEONARD C. PRICE. Essex Lodge, Ewell. H. HOPE CREALOCK. Is anything known of this artist ? I have two chromolithographs, the one entitled ' His Lordship (a sketch in the Phoenix).' This is of an officer of the llth Hussars, apparently Lord Cardigan, but the artist's name is not on the print. The other, which is entitled ' The White Charger (a sketch in the Phoenix) ' bears the artist's name at the lower right hand corner. It is rather peculiar as it is un- finished. It depicts an officer of the 16th Lancers, with an orderly, in the Phoenix Park, Dublin ; but there is no clue as to who the officer is. He is mounted on a white horse. The painting of the regimental cypher on the saddle cloth (? Shabracq) is not finished, apparently through an over- sight. There is a mention of General Crealocke at page 21 of Ralph Neville's ' British Military Prints,' presumably the artist in question. I should be glad of information regarding Crealock, and his work, and also as to the identity of the officer on the " white charger." H. WILBERFORCE-BELL. "APPLE" IN PLACE-NAMES. A place named Appledore is referred to at 12 S. vi. 152. In the 'A.B.C. Railway Guide, 1 there are two places of the name, and five other stations with the same or similar prefix. ' The Post Office Guide ' has twenty- two places with the prefix "apple " in one or another form. In addition to these there are Appuldurcombe near Ventnor, Isle of Wight ; and Apuldram, a parish near Chichester. The latter part of the name Appuldurcombe would mean water, or wet valley, and Apuldram would represent Apulclurham, though locally it is now often spelled Appledram. Can any reader explain the element " apul," " appul," or " apple " ? It can hardly be connected with the fruit. ALFRED LLOYD. The Dome, Bognor, Sussex. LOWESTOFT CHINA. Was China ever made at Lowestoft ? H! ALFRED S. E. ACKERMANN. SANGUINEUM. Are the berries of this flowering currant poisonous ? ALFRED S. E. ACKERMANN. THE 'MALVERN MERCURY.' In Byron's 'Letters and Journals,' edited by R. E. Prothero, vol. v. p. 366, is this statement : " With respect to what Anna Seward calls ' the liberty of transcript,' when complaining of Miss Matilda Muggleton, the accomplished daughter of a choral vicar of Worcester Cathedral, who had abused the said ' liberty of transcript,' by inserting in the Malvern Mercury Miss Seward's ' Elegy on the South Pole,' as her own production, with her own signature, two years after having taken a copy, by permission of the authoress with regard, I say, to the ' liberty of transcript,' I by no means oppose an occasional copy to the benevolent few.''^^ IF Is a copy of the Malvern Mercury in existence ? There is not one at the British Museum. F. C. MORGAN, Librarian.

ANECDOTE OF A POPULAR CHARACTER.' Under this heading John Adams, in ' A Second Volume of Curious Anecdotes, &c.' (1792) at pp. 110-11, says that : 1 A late popular character, when very young, was a candidate for Berwick upon Tweed ; and, not being returned, preferred a petition to the House of Commons ; retaining a certain eminent counsel with a fee of fifty guineas. Just before this business was about to come into the House, the barrister, who had in the interval changed his political sentiments, sent word he cqpld not possibly plead. On this the candidate imme- diately waiting on his advocate, mildly expostu- .ated and remonstrated, but all in vain. . . .Then
