 438 NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 S. IX. Nov. 26, 1921. for the remainder of the voyage " James Annesley " was, by Vernon's order, rated as ; a midshipman. No estimate is offered of the truth of the Dublin street child's story (wherever obtained), but it is something that Vernon's part in it was deemed characteristic ! of him. Me. CARDINAL NEWMAN AND WALES (12 S. ! ix. 354). In a recent number I noted an j inquiry with regard to the Newman family j and their connexion with Wales. John j Henry Newman was the eldest of three j brothers, the well-known F. W. Newman j being the third brother, and the second, Charles Robert Newman, in his later years lived in Wales and died at Tenby in 1884. Some time early in the nineties I had '- brought to me a small collection of manu- i script and papers by him with the suggestion | that I should publish them in book form. ! After studying the material I consulted j with the Cardinal and finally I came to the conclusion they could not be published. Eventually the papers came into the hands of the late Joseph Whitaker, of almanac , fame, who presented them to the Cardinal, i T. FISHER UNWIN. SACRAMENTUM (11 S. xi. 430; xii. 33). I am indebted to PROFESSOR BENSLY for j his Portuguese example of A.D. 37 (see tried to find out whether other texts have been found since 1659. The question will probably be settled on the issue of the new section of Pauly-Wissowa. This had j not reached the British Museum when I i last inquired. In any case, its progress | to the shelves is subject to necessary for- 1 malities, and a private subscriber may be able to give me in your columns early news on the point : for this I would heartily thank him. Q. V. THE GOVERNOR or N. CAROLINA AND j THE GOVERNOR OF S. CAROLINA (12 S." ix. 292, 333). The former is said to have j said to the latter, " It's a long time between i drinks," In the spring of 1876 I was a passenger ! on the railway train from Charleston, 8,0., ; to Washington, D.C., which also carried i General Wade Hampton, Governor of South j Carolina, and a committee of gentlemen, who were going to ask President Hayes to , remove the Federal troops from the State I capitol. The Governor was obliged at ; every stopping -place of the train in North | Carolina to speak to enthusiastic crowds, and seldom omitted to make the allusion above mentioned. C. E. S. WELSH RABBIT (12 S. ix. 110, 148, 198, 278). It may possibly be of some interest to some of your readers to know that, in New England, "Cape Cod Turkey" is another name for salted cod-fish, and " Albany Sturgeon," in the State of New York, for beef. C. E. S. " FLURDEGLAIUR " (12 S. ix. 369). Fleur-de-glaiour, the fleur-de-lis or fleur- de-luce, is by some said to be the French bee, and by others to be an iris or gladiolus. In French " gladiolus " is gla'ieul. The block clearly shows the fleur-de-lis. E. E. COPE. " WHAT BETWEEN" : " WHAT FROM," &c. (12 S. ix. 271, 378). To writers of Pitman's shorthand it will appear at least possible, if not probable, that in the sentence quoted at the latter reference, " his brain throbbing like a drum what of the repeated doses of quinine he had swallowed," the words " what of " were substituted by a careless amanu- ensis for " with all " and escaped subse- quent revision. I suggest that this is the real explanation of the new figure of speech discovered by your correspondent. FRED R. GALE. DAMANT FAMILY (TURNIPS) (12 S. ix. 409). Your correspondent appears to have misunderstood Mrs. Hinkson. She does not say the turnip (or the clover either, for that matter) was introduced into England by Sir Richard Weston, but " into English farming," which is a very different thing. Even so, her book, delightful as it is, cannot always be trusted. The claim of the Damants, too, to have introduced the turnip into England cannot be admitted without better evidence than a family crest. The turnip is indeed usually held to be a native with us. It was well known to all our old herbalists from Turner downwards, though apparently only as a garden plant, not as a field crop, and Gerard has a para- graph on a " degenerat kind, called in Cheshire about the Namptwich [his native place] Madneps." Lyte, in his version of Dodoens (1578) says: "The Turnep loueth an open place, it is sowen somewhere in vineyardes, as at Huygarden and the Coun- trie thereaboutes, which do waxe very great ; but they are most commonly sowen
