NOTES AND QUERIES.

Nominum to Blomefield's History of Norfolk, to

communicate the following, which I hope will

assist your correspondent.

Blomefield's Norfolk, vol. i. p. 491. :

" 1421, March 27. Richard, son of ' Fraricus Buntyng,

of Salle, priest,' Vicar of Brothorp."

Vol. v. p. 170. :

" 1562. Thomas Bunting was presented by Edw. Cleve, Esq., to Tacolnaston Rectory. He died in 1574.".

Vol. v. p. 434. :

"On a brass plate, 'me . JACET . HENRICUS . BUNTYNG,' in Framingham Earl Church. The inscrip- tion is in old English, probably at the early part of the sixteenth century, temp. Hen. VIII. or Edw. VI."

Vol. vii. p. 39., Burnham Wcstgate Church :

" In 33rd of Elizabeth, Richard Bunting had a pnecipe to deliver to Thomas Bunting and Edmund Anguish, a moiety of this church."

I have also some notes of earlier Buntings, but I presume your correspondent does not need them. I have also a copy in MS. of the tombstone in- scriptions in this neighbourhood, and amongst Ihem some at Heachnm, near Snettisham, a place named by S. A. One stone I have to the memory of Susanna, wife of John Bunting, and daughter j of Rev. Thos. Booking, of Denton, who died ; May 14, 1813. This is a tomb, but there are no arms upon it. It stands on the south side of Heacham Church.

There is also a stone to the memory of John, pon of John and Rose Bunting, who died April 25, 1750, aged fourteen years.

I have also stones in memory of Robert Bunting and wife, and Charles Bunting. The two former died in 1844 and 1850, aged sixty-seven; and the latter in 1811, aged sixty-nine.

I have no notes of Bunting at Snettisham.

JOHN NURSE CUADWICK.

King's Lynn.

New Testament in French and Latin (2 nd S. i. 15.) I am greatly obliged to MR. BUCKTON for his observations on my Latin and French New Testament, " Selon la verite Hebraique," but they throw no light on the obscure subject. The translation agrees with that of the Genevan Re- formers. There is a curious cut on the title- pnge, a scutcheon supported by the four winds, the centre fleurs-de-lia, a hand holding an open book. Motto, il Deo et Immortalitate." I can- not find any account of it in Lc Long by Masch, Townley, Simon, or any bibliographer.

GEORGE OFFOR.

Ballad on Lord Dcrwenlivater (1 st S. xii. 492.) No JACOBITE is mistaken in supposing this / ballad a scarce production; it is tolerably well known in this district. I have a version before me in the Local Historians Table Booh, Legendary Division, vol. i. p. 292., into which it has been

transferred from the Gentleman's Magazine for June, 1825 ; moreover, my memory is treacherous if I have not seen it printed in some other work, whose name I cannot recall. The ballad is un- doubtedly interesting and on a remarkably popular subject ; but as it can be so easily referred to in the works I have named, I presume it will be un- necessary to reproduce it in " N. & Q."

ROBERT S. SAI-MON. Xewcastl-on-Tyne.

Prisoners taken by King John at Eochestcr (1 st S. xii. 450.) G. R. C. will find the writ directed to Peter de Maulay, with the names of the prisoners taken at Rochester, including Regi- nald de Cornhill, in the Close Rolls, 17 John, 1215, M. 14. There is also a partial list in Matt. Paris, A 1215, p. 227. E. R. R.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

Many of our readers are aware that one of the finest known collections of proclamations and broadsides is that in the Library of the Society of Antiquaries. Many of them also probably know that such collection was, some two years since, greatly increased in value by the libe- rality of one of the Fellows, William Salt, Esq., who pur- chased an extraordinary volume of such documents, which was then in the market, for the purpose of adding its contents to those already in the Society of Antiquaries. We have again to record Mr. Salt's liberal contributions towards the same important objects. He has presented to the Society another volume containing many articles of great rarity and interest several of the proclamations being among the very rarest in the series. The following list of some of the most remarkable broadsides appeared in the Literary Gazette of Saturday last: " A List of His Majesty's Ships under the command of Algernon Percy, Earl of Northumberland, 1G37," broadside, with a copper- plate portrait of the Earl, by Van Dalen ; "The Welchman's Life, Tenth, and Periaf," woodcut heading, 1641 ; " Times' alteration, or a Dialogue between my Lord Finch and Secretary Windebancke, at their meeting in France, the 8th of January, 1641, brought up to Billingsgate the next Spring-tide following." Two wood- cut portraits head this broadside one of them represent- ing Finch with a pair of wings ; the other, the Secretarv, with his pen behind his ear. Under the first is the couplet :

" That I have wrong'd the land, I now repent, But who the Divell thought o' tli' Parliament ! "

Benenth the effigies of Windebancke are the lines :

" Beware, you false Traytors, that arc left behind, 'Tis but for you to sayle by Windebancke's wind."

" A Cloak for Knavery, or the Scottish Religion worn out," &.c., a severe satire on the Scotch, with a copper- plate heading, representing a Scotch soldier standing be- twecnTime and a " Commonwealth's Man ; " a broadside, headed "The Saints' Beliefe, issued by John Turner, prisoner of our Lord Jesus Christ, committed by the lollops near fourteen years ago sold at the Anchor, in Paul's Chaine, 1041 ;" "Artificial Fire, or Coale for Rich and Poore," a plan for making blocks of fuel, as in mo- dern days date 1614; "The Scourge of Civill Warn 1, the Blessings of Peace," printed 1641, with ;i woodcut of
