NOTES AND QUERIES.

of 'N. & Q.' will put me on the track of that article, I shall be deeply beholden to him.

PATRICK MAXWELL. Bath.

'EPIGRAM ON COLEMAN THE JESUIT.' The above heading catches my eye in the Index to the First Series of 'N. & ty.' just half a century ago, and I trust it is not too late, even after so long an interval, to rectify an error which I find set down under date 7 February, 1852 (1 st S. v. 137), where, speak- ing of a certain epigram that had been cited, it is said :

" Coleman, on whom the epigram appears to have been written, is obviously the Jesuit of that name executed in the reign of Charles II."

Coleman was not a Jesuit ; he was a layman, secretary to the Duke of York. As may be seen from Foley's ' Eecords ' or Oliver's ' Collectanea,' there has been no Jesuit of the name. J. G.

DISAPPEARING LONDON. It may be in- teresting to note that No. 12 and the adjoining house in Edgware Eoad have lately been pulled down for rebuilding, and with them vanish the balconies or verandahs of ironwork which, it is stated in ' Old and New London,' vol. iv.,

" were built in order to accommodate the Sheriffs and their officials who were bound to be present at the execution of criminals at the Tyburn gallows, then standing about 50 yards on the other (West) side of the Road."

The balconies were in situ till the end.

WE must request correspondents desiring infor- mation on family matters of only private interest to affix their names and addresses to their queries, in order that the answers may be addressed to them direct.

NASHE _ AND GREENE QUERIES. I am engaged in the preparation of a new edition of the works of Thomas Nashe (1567-1601), and should be greatly obliged if any reader of ' N. & Q.' could throw any light on two or three points which have, up to the present, resisted investigation. (1) Nashe states that his ' Pierce Penilesse ' was, about 1594, "maimedly translated into the French tongue " (' Have with you to Saffron-Walden,' ed. Grosart, iii. 47). This translation was searched for without success by Grosart and others. Has any reader come across it or across any mention of it in French literature of the time? (2) Some time before 1593 Nashe quarrelled with Thomas Churchyard,

and afterwards apologized to him " in print " (G.Harvey, ed. Grosart, i. 199, and Nashe, ed. Grosart, ii. 252). Has this apology ever been found 1 (3) Editions of E. Greene's ' Mena- phon' (which has an epistle by Nashe) are said to have appeared in 1589, 1599, 1605, 1610, 1616, and 1634. I am unable to find any copies of the editions of 1599 and 1605. Can any reader help me 1 1 should also be glad to know of an accessible copy of the edition of 1634. News of any letters from or to Nashe other than the one printed by J. P. Collier, documents in which he is mentioned, or any other fresh information about him would of course be most acceptable.

MIXED MARRIAGES. A propos of Burke and his wife, can any one tell when the custom of " boys going with the father, girls with the mother," grew up in Ireland if custom it was? Certainly thirty or forty years ago in the south of Ireland it was accepted as in the nature of things by uncontroversial Protestants, and, I suppose, Catholics. Yet, of course, it never can have had any formal Catholic sanction, I suppose. INQUIRER.

OGLANDER FAMILY. Could any of your readers favour me with the correct arms of the Oglander family, a representative of which formerly hela the Oglander estate, East Dulwich? I believe the Oglanders belonged to Brading, Isle of Wight (co. Hants), and sprang from Sir John Oglander, the celebrated diarist and author of the Oglander memoirs. C. E. LEMAN.

IRISH BECITATION. Can you kindly tell me bhe author of ' Pat tarring the Cow ' or ' How Pat tarred the Cow ' ? It is a humorous Irish recitation or reading, and I think it is published in a book with several other pieces. The name of the book or any information about it will be most acceptable. JAP.

ALDRICH, DEAN OF CHRIST CHURCH. What _s the name of the "thrifty nephew" who Duried Dean Aid rich? Was he a son of the dean's brother or of a married sister ?

PORTRAITS OF HEREFORDSHIRE CATHOLIC FAMILY. Will some one kindly inform me as ic family who ruled in Herefordshire during the reign of Philip and Mary, and until
 * o the best way to seek for pictures of a Catho-

harles I. went down? They intermarried with the Monnington, Lingen, Wigmore, Scudamore, and other local families, and with, amongst others, the Teynham, Stourton, Casey, Wells, and Penruddocke families out-
