HUGUENOT CRUELTIES (9 th S. i. 108). It teems to me that CAROLUS is on the wrong track in looking for details as to the con- stancy of French Catholics suffering martyr- dom at the hands of the Huguenots ; and I doubt if he will find them. If he wishes to get information as to the sufferings of Catholics for their religious opinions, the history of England and Ireland will surely supply him with sufficient. Though aware of great dif- ferences, yet in reading the history of France I have often been struck with the parallel- ism which is afforded by the persecution of the Huguenots across the Channel and the persecution of Catholics at home. The famous penal laws, for instance, have their counterpart in French history.

T. P. ARMSTRONG.

A Catholic account of the Protestant move- ment in North-East France is furnished by the late eminent Belgian historian De Cousse- maker in his work * Troubles Religieux de la Flandre Maritime,' in 4 vols., published circa 1876. This author is strictly just, I believe, but his sympathies are Catholic. The book is at the British Museum. De Coussemaker was an honorary F.S.A. of London.

JOHN HOBSON MATTHEWS.

Town Hall, Cardiff.

An interesting and valuable (because con- temporary) work on this subject is Verstegan's 1 Theatrum Crudelitatum Heereticorum nostri Temporis,' 4to., Antwerp, 1592, which treats principally of the Low Countries. The ori- ginal work is very scarce ; but it was reprinted a few years ago (with exact reproductions of the numerous and horrifying woodcuts) by the well-known firm of Desclee (Tournai and Paris).

CASTLEREAGH'S PORTRAIT (9 th S. i. 47, 158). Will BREASAIL pardon me for correcting a slip in his communication at the latter reference 1 ? The "Pump" was not the first Viscount Castlereagh. The viscounty was created for his father in 1795, and on his father's promotion in the following year to the earldom of Londonderry the title of Viscount Castlereagh passed to the son by courtesy. His father, further created Marquis of Londonderry in 1816, died on 8 April, 1821,

and the son then succeeded him as second marquis. I should like to add to my reply at the latter reference that MR. BUTLER will find an amusing judgment of Castlereagh's oratory in Earl Russell's 'Recollections/ p. 26. English readers should note that in Moore's verse "Castlereagh" rhymes with " sway " and " away." F. ADAMS.

" HOITY-TOITY " (8 th S. xii. 429 ; 9 th S. i. 135). Extract from Jamieson's 'Dictionary of the Scottish Language' (Longmuir's edition, 4 vols., 1882):

" Hey tutti taitL the name of one of our oldest Scottish tunes. This, accordiiig to tradition, was Robert Bruce's march at the battle of Bannock- burn, A.D. 1314. The words tutti taiti may have been meant as imitative of the sound of the trumpet in giving the charge, or what Barbour calls the tutilling of a norne. This might appear at least to be the sense in which it was understood a century ago, when the following words were written: When you hear the trumpets sound

Tutti tatti to the drum, Up your sword, and down your gun, And to the loons again.

1 Jacobite Relics, 5 i. 110."

Jamieson does not mention " Hoity-toity." Conybeare's authority for " Hoity - toity ! " having been the war-cry of " the wild Scots " when they crossed from Ireland would be interesting. Charles Mackay ('Poetry and Humour of the Scottish Language,' 1882, p. 401) says :

"The words [Hey! tuttie tatie] are derived from the Gaelic, familiar to the soldiers of Bruce, ait dudach taitel from dudach, to sound the trumpet, and taite, joy, and may be freely translated, ' Let the joyous trumpets sound !' "

At second reference MR. J. MONTEATH asks, "What is the English of Key! tuttie taittie?" They are not words, but imitative sounds. Jamieson ('Scottish Dictionary,' under ' Tutie ') is probably right in the conjecture that they may have been meant as imitative of the sound of the trumpet in giving the charge. R. M. SPENCE.

D ALTON FAMILY (9 th S. i. 107). A family of this name were settled at Cardiff early in the present century, and a narrow thorough- fare off St. Mary Street, demolished a few years ago, was known as Dalton's Court. Mr. John Dalton was for many years a practising solicitor in this town, and Clerk of the Peace for the county of Glamorgan. He died some time in the sixties, I think, at an advanced age. I do not know that any member of the family remains here now.
