NOTES AND QUERIES. [9 th s. xn. OCT. 10, 1903.

Jauna. 150. Garen PsaJmoa. + Bayonan. Fauvet Alargnna Jean Fauvet, Erregueren, Jaun Aphez- piouaren Imprimadoreac baithan. M.DCC.LI. It will be observed that it is earlier than, and different from, any of the other editions of the same collection of ' Spiritual Songs ' described by M. Vinson under No. 100 in his catalogue. The title, however, shows clearly that this hitherto unknown edition was not the first, for it describes the canticles as being " put in a better order arid increased in number." There is a mistake in the Baskish rendering of the words from Psalm cl., i.e., "begate" should be beca, for berate implies laudent and omnes. The printers are mentioned on p. xxxv of M. Vinson's book. The use of garen instead of garren, to trans- late English "-th" or " -eth," confirms the theory that the Baskish ordinal ending garren represents garen, an old way of writing haren (later areri), the possessive case of the definite or demonstrative article. After p. 65 there is another, blank and unnumbered. Then follow six separately numbered pages, containing the fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary. On pp. 43 and 44 there is a hymn " in honour of the sacred Heart of Jesus." It is well known that devotion of that kind had been lately recommended among the Basks by some of their best writers, e.g., Cardaberaz and Mendi- buru. The whole of this interesting volume is in the Labourdin dialect.

CARYLL PEDIGREE. -- There are several pedigrees of this Sussex family in a book entitled 'West Grinstead et les Caryll,' by M. de Trenqualeon, a copy of which is in the British Museum. I draw the attention of genealogists to it, as it is not mentioned in the last edition of Marshall's ' Genealogist' Guide,' while to the general reader it may be of interest as a relation of the vicissitudes of an English Catholic and Jacobite family.

SIR ROGER WILBRAHAM'S JOURNAL. I wish to direct the attention of Shakspeareans to a paragraph in Mr. Harold Spencer Scott's preface to the ' Journal of Sir Roger Wilbra- ham, 1593-1616,' 'Caraden Miscellany,' vol. x. (Royal Historical Society, 1902). Mr. Scott says :

" About half of the MS. is here printed. The other has been with some regret omitted because the space at command does not permit of its in section. Moreover, the passages thus left out deal with legal and literary matters, lying perhaps rather outside the province of the Society's publications." A short description of the omitted parts is given, but this is a mere aggravation, class ing as it does several pages of omitted matter

.imply as ' Anecdotes and Quotations.' There s so little original matter in this form con- temporaneous with Shakspeare that, even if _ : or no other reason than its rarity, the whole of this omitted matter should be published. Who can say how important a clue may be furnished by some apparently unimportant entry 1 The published parts of the ' Journal ' are most interesting, and they derive addi- ional importance from the fact that Sir rloger was a friend of Francis and Antony Bacon, and was admitted on the same day with them to Gray's Inn.

BATH AND BUXTON. On 13 July, 1613,

e magistrates at Richmond, in Yorkshire, ordered 41. to be paid to John Metcalfe, gent, (a lame soldier), " to support him in his tra- vaile to the Baith " (North Riding Record Soc., ii. 29).

On 27 April, 1647, the magistrates at Thirsk ordered the parish of Old Byland to provide relief for a poor man, and " to afford him their benevolence for the better enableinge him in his travell to Saint Anne at Buck- stones for the recovery of ; his limmes" (ibid., iv. 270).

On 20 April, 1658, the magistrates at the same place ordered 30s. to be paid to a West Ayton man, " to help to bear his charges to the hot baith in Somersetshire, to which he is admitted to go for the recovery of his health, being so directed by his physitions and chyrurgions " (ibid., vi. 5).

" OPERATOR "^EMPLOYER. The above, as antithesis to "operative," appears to be a new word. See daily press, passim, re American coal strike. H. P. L.

QUALITY COURT, CHANCERY LANE. A question as to the origin of this name has twice been asked in ' N. & Q.,' first in 6 th S. xii. 409, without eliciting any reply, and secondly in 8 th S. v. 88, the inquirer (W. R.) stating that he believed the place was not mentioned in any history of London. To the second inquiry two replies appeared (8 th S. v. 173, 336), but neither of them throws any light on the origin of the name. It seems strange that the information asked for is given in a book which one would have thought likely to be among the first to be consulted Strype's Stow. The following is from the 1720 edition, book iii. p. 253 :

"Betwixt Cursitor's Alley and Southampton Buildings is a very handsome large and airy Court, lately built, with many handsome . Brick houses, called New Court, and for the goodness of the Houses and the Inhabitants is by some called
