describes a " tiding at the pin " as being g "fumble at the latch," which I could not accept, as in the " tirling-pins " I had seen there was no latch. But, as I say, the only two which I now see at South Kensington Museum each have a latch. They are evi dently both " tirling-pins " and door latches.

This subject has already been ventilatec pretty completely in 'N. & Q.,' 5 th S. ix 88, 229, 319, 458, where those interested in the matter will find much information. In Chambers's 'Traditions of Edinburgh' is i small engraving representing one, which give a much better idea of it than any description can possibly do. JOHN PICKFORD, M.A.

It does not require any very special talenl in the way of seeing through millstones to guess that J. B. P. at the second reference is my esteemed and learned friend Mr. James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms, and that the "very picturesque old house" is Tullibole Castle, Crook-of-Devon, Kinross- shire, at present inhabited by him as summer quarters. This interesting old castle is noticed in ' The Castellated and Domestic Architec- ture of Scotland,' by David MacGibbon and Thomas Ross (Edinburgh, David Douglas, 1892), vol. iv. At p. 108 there is an illustration of the castle, and at p. 110 a very good illus- the Lyon. J. B. FLEMING.

REV. JOHN LOGAN (8 th S. x. 495 ; xi. 35). In- quiry was made as above for his place of burial, apparently unknown. The following may perhaps assist. In 1873 David Laing, of the Signet Library, printed a tract on the author- ship of the ' Ode to the Cuckoo,' with some inpublished letters. Among these is one

No. 20, London Street, Fitzroy Chapel,

6th January, 1789. bra, Your poor friend is now freed from all his roubles. He died on Sunday, 28th December, and was decently and genteely buried under my direction

on Friday, 2nd January D. GRANT.

f there was a burial-ground attached to ^itzroy Chapel (near Fitzroy Square), Logan may have been buried there.

JOSEPH BAIN. " CREEKES " (9 th S. i. 87). I beg to refer the editor of the ' E. D. D.' to a peculiar use and pellmg of the word in the ' Chronicle of the vmgs of England,' by Sir Richard Baker, ! Wit,, with continuations to King George I.,

London, 1730, p. 271, right column, 1. 30; also p. 272, right column, foot of page. The word is written " kreeker," and refers to men who served a knight Sir John Wallope for what they could get in the way of loot. Sir Richard Baker uses the word as if its meaning were well known at the time he wrote the end of the seventeenth century.

JOHNSON (9 th S. i. 68). It is probable that your correspondent will find the information he requires in the ' Reminiscences of Henry Angelo, with Memoirs of his Father (Domenico Angelo, otherwise Domenico Angelo Malevolti Tremamondo) and Friends,' published in 1830, which is now on sale at 333, Goswell Road, E.G.

THOMAS EYRE, OF HELMDON, NORTHANTS (9 th S. i. 8). Sir John Newton, of Barrs Court, Gloucestershire, born 9 June, 1626, married Mary, daughter of Sir Gervase Eyre, Knt., of Rampton, co. Notts. Their son Sir John Newton, by his wife Susannah, had a daughter Susannah, who married Samuel Eyre, Esq., M.P., of Higlow Hall. A Richard Haynes was the owner of the Wick Court, co. Gloucestershire, in 1712. He was high sheriff in 1700, and married Anne, daughter of Christopher Cole, of Charlton Henbury, co. Gloucestershire. This Richard Haynes was a correspondent of Sir John Newton, and appears to have possessed his confidence, as I have a copy of a letter written by him to Sir John Newton, and dated from Bristol, 24 May, 1707, about the marriage of one of Sir John's sisters. Whether Richard Haynes was a connexion of the Newtons or the Eyres I cannot say, but the above facts may afford some clue to SWARRATON.

INDEXING (9 th S. i. 45). As illustrating the necessity of attention being paid to the index- ng of family names, I venture to draw atten- tion to No. 7 of my query of 15 January last, wherein you quoted Querard as authority 'or indexing Sir L. A. A. de Verteuil under Verteuil. In the meantime I happened to refer to ' Whitaker's Almanack,' 1898, and found lim indexed under De Verteuil. For further nformation I turned up 'Hazell's Annual' for 896 and 1897, and find that in the former e is indexed under De Verteuil, and in the atter under Verteuil. As both these refer- nce books are in high repute, a word or two >f explanation from either of the respective
