 212 NOTES AND QUERIES. »» s. iv. sin. 9, ■». (Devonshire for eighty-eight) and of " ninety ite " caused the mistake. A more remarkable error appears on a brass (in the church of Lanteglos by Fowey, Corn- wall) which records the marriage of Wm. Mohun with Frances Courtenay instead of her sister Isabell (see Inq. p.m., 4 & 5 Ph. & M., part 2, No. 4). These were two of four sisters, great-aunts and coheiresses of Edward Courtenay, Earl of Devon, the suitor of Queen Elizabeth when princess. In the important Inq. p.m., 30 Ed. I., No. 20 (see Roberts, ' Cal. Geneal.,' ii. 620), we find Oliver de Champernown set down as heir of Emma de Soligny. His daughter and heiress, who was always styled "the Lady Joan Cham- pernown," granted lands for the celebration of masses, in her chapel at Umberleigh, for the souls of William de Campo Arnulphi(Champer- nown), her father, and Eva, her mother, and Ralph de Willington, late her husband (Ris- don, p. 316 ; Peter Le Neve, MSS. penes me ; Pole, ' Devon,' 382, 422). Probably the jury were thinking of the great man Oliver de Dinham, who shared with the Champernowns the lands of their cousin Isolda de Cardinan, the Cornish heiress ('Hundred Ro.,' i. 57). H. H. Drake. Marriages of Persons already married to Each Other (9th S. iv. 9, 72, 135).—As requested by G. E. C. at the first reference I send an addition to the list already pub- lished in your journal:— " 20th May, 1805. In the evening was remarried by special licence the most noble John Henry, Marquis of Lansdowne, to Lady Gifford, only daughter of the late Rev. Hinton Maddock of Chester."—Billinge'a Liverpool Advertiser, 27 May, 1805. John Hughes. The following is apparently an instance of a remarriage, and is taken from the Thoresby Society's publications :— Adel Registers. —1673, Oct. 14. "Christopher Kirke & Patience Claughton, both of the parrish of Adle." Leeds Registers.—1673/4, March 17. " M' Xpo' Kirke and Patience Claughton of Cookeridge in Addle p'ish. L." G. D. Lumb. Leeds. National Nicknames (9'h S. iv. 28, 90).— The following names, in addition to those that have already appeared, are given subject to correction :— Blackamoor, a negro, in contradistinction to a" tawny" or "tanny"Moor. The two divisions of Africa, north and south of Sene- gal, were known of old respectively as Mauritia, or the country of the Moors, and Nigritia, the country of the blacks ; but all Mohammedans, whether black or 'tanny," were formerly designated " Moors" — e.g., Othello. Blue Caps or Blue Bonnets, the Scotch :— "He is there, too and a thousand blue caps more."—Shakespeare, ' 1 Henry IV.,' II. iv. England shall many a day Tell of the bloody tray When the blue bonnets came over the border. Scott.

A corruption of the Greek word oiKoycnjs (oikogtnes), "one born in the family," as opposed to purchased slaves ; one born and brought up "at home," and consequently ignorant ot everything but city life. Croatie, a nickname among Italians for an Austrian, Crodto. Cuffey, a negro. A generic name for the race. Cuffen and Cudden are different forms of the same word, also written Cuddy (a dolt, ass), applied to slaves, who are used like asses (Dr. Brewer) :— "Sambo and Cuffey expand under every sky."— H. Beecher Stowe. Frog-eater, a Frenchman, in allusion to his partiality for the succulent "siren of the ditch " as an article of food. Goddam, the English soldier was thus nick- named by Frenchmen while he was engaged in the continental wars on account of his frequent use of this " swear-word." Greaser, a Mexican, thus nicknamed by the Western United States people on account of his greasy appearance. Hans Worst (Jack Sausage), a German.
