NOTES AND QUERIES.

Elizabeth ? A Lady Weld was a benefactress of the Haberdashers' Company (her will was dated February, 1623), and is mentioned in their records as Mary, Lady Weld. Sir George Whitmore was Master of the Com-

Eany in 1621 and 1631. It is unlikely that e had two daughters called Lady Weld. There is a portrait of Sir George Whitmore in the Haberdashers' Hall. O. S. T.

THE DUCHY OF BERWICK (&* h S. viii. 439, 534 ; ix. 130, 258, 295, 433 ; x. 153, 250). May I correct an error in my last reply (p. 251) under this heading ? The paragraph as printed reads: " Roger Hoveden states that it was Nest (or Agnes), lawful sister of Henry L, who was put to death with William de Braose," &c. Henry I. should read Henry II. I did not retain a copy of my note, but no doubt the error was mine.

ARMS ON FIREBACK (9 th S. x. 207). Perhaps it will afford MR. HENEAGE LEGGE a clue to know that seven arrows proper, enfiled with a ducal coronet or, is the crest of Arrowsmy th, Huntingfield Hall, co. Suffolk, whose arms, however, do not correspond with those on the fireback to which he alludes, for they are Gules, two broad arrows in sal tire or, feathered argent, between four lions' heads erased and crowned of the second. But the crest is re- markably like (see Burke's ' General Armory '). Cf. also the arms of the Fletchers' Company, Azure, a chevron between three arrows or, headed and feathered argent. The arms on firebacks were often crudely executed, with sometimes little regard, I think, to accuracy.

MASCULINE DRESS (9 th S. x. 228). I happen to have a note, which may be useful to your correspondent, of an engraving bound up in a collection of printed folios at the British Museum, 669, f. 10 (99), in which the dress of a fashionable man of 1646 is clearly de- picted in all its detail, while a description is subjoined of the several parts of the attire and the most approved manner of wearing them. I may acid that I am still desirous of information about mourning costume in 1661, Fairholt, Planche, and other standard works having failed to satisfy me on some of the points raised (9 th S. v. 287).

ETHEL LEGA-WEEKES.

See F. W. Fairholt's ' Costume in England,' enlarged and thoroughly revised by- the Hon. H. A. Dillon, third edition, 1885, where will be found many valuable notes and illustra- tions of the details of men's dress of this

period, such as hat, boots, walking-sticks ; Planche's ' Cyclopaedia of Costume '; 'Tailor- ing, Past and Present,' by Mr. William Rines, in the Tailor and C utter ; ' Chambers's Encycl.,' s.v. 'Fashion'; and the Queen, 23 May, 6 June, and 20 June, 1868, pp. 417, 457, and 497. J. HOLDEN MACMICHAEL.

GREEN AN UNLUCKY COLOUR (9 th S. viii. 121, 192 ; ix. 234, 490 ; x. 32, 133). Kingsley has

Oh, green is the colour of faith and truth, And rose the colour of love and youth, And brown of the fruitful clay.

ARMS OP JAMES STANIHURST (9 th S. x. 227). The 1884 edition of Burke's ' Armory ' has two entries under the name of Stanihurst. 1. Stanihurst (Fun. Ent., Ulster's Office, 1622,- Henry Stanihurst), Ar., on a saltire between four boars' heads couped gu. a crescent of the first, on a chief vair three bendlets of the second. 2. Stanihurst (Arboe, co. Tyrone ; Fun. Ent., Ulster's Office, 1635, Nicholas Stanihurst, eldest s(*n of James Stanihurst, Esq, of Arboe), Ar., a saltire between four boars' heads couped gu., on a chief or three palets vair. Neither of these appears to have been a son of the Speaker, but they were probably of the same family. A portion of the Stanihurst pedigree from Molyneux's ' Visitation of Dublin ' is given in the Ussher ' Memoirs,' pp. 80 - 82 ; see also D'Alton's ' History of Dublin,' p. 411.

SIR NICHOLAS SMITH (9 th S. viii. 283, 373 ; ix. 193). MR. W. D. PINK states in ' N. & Q.,' 9 th S. viii. 373, that Sir Nicholas Smith was son of Sir George Smith, of Exeter, by his first wife Joan, daughter of James Walker ; but MR. JOHN RADCLIFFE, at the same re- ference, says that he was son of the same father, but that his mother was Grace, daughter and coheir of William Viell, of Madford, near Launceston. As I am much interested in every genealogical and historical detail which concerns Launceston I should be glad of some proof as to which contributor is right. DUNHEVED.

HEREFORDSHIRE MANOR-HOUSES (9 th S. x. 228). Your correspondent's inquiry appears to refer to ' A History of the Mansions and Manors of Herefordshire,' by C. J. Robinson, with illustrations, London (printed Hereford), 1873, quarto. DAVID DAVIES.

SCHAW OF GOSPETRY (9 th S. X. 8, 115). I

observe MR. COLEMAN'S query. I am con- vinced, however, that there is no connexion
