The j custom may have been in use previous to my experience, but of that I cannot say. I j should be grateful for further information as to its origin. DEINIOL. BURIAL REGISTERS : ST. KATHARINE'S, LONDON (12 S. ix. 408, 453). The registers of the Royal Hospital of St. Katharine's juxta turrim are here, and by proper applica- 1 tion I am willing to allow search for a | specified name with date. I always resent the word charitable or charity as applied to St. Katharine's. St. Katharine's is not, and never was, a " charity." There were small charges on the whole property, but that is all. SEVERNE MAJENDIE. Acting Master for St. Katharine's in the Regent's Park, and Warden of the Royal Chapel. CURIOUS SURNAMES (12 S. vi. 68, 115, 196, 238, 282, 302, 321 ; vii. 15, 34, 95, 137, 176, 213; ix. 208). In the hope that it is not too late to reopen this correspon- dence I venture to send the following quota- tion from The Evening Standard : A Londoner on holiday writes to me that he has discovered on his travels a most appropriate name for a parson. The name is the Rev. John Scaredevyle, who was a rector near Bognor. Some months ago the same newspaper reported that a woman charged at a London police-court with being abusive gave her name as " Language," and the police - constable in charge of the case confirmed her statement. j.

H. C. W. JONAS COAKER, " THE DARTMOOR POET " (12 S. ix. 448). I believe that Coaker used to call himself the " Poet of the Moor," but Mr. Baring-Gould ('Dartmoor Idylls,' at p. 144) says that he " was a sorry poet, really no better than an indifferent rhy raster." Coaker's story has been told by the late Mr. Robert Burnard in his ' Dartmoor Pictorial Records ' (portrait) and in an article in The Western Antiquary (Plymouth), vol. ix., pp. 196-7. Another account may be found in a book edited by the late Mr. Robert Dymond, ' Things New and Old concerning the Parish of Widecombe-in-the-Moor and
