GAKDINEK. 232, Langside Road, Glasgow. "HURTLING" (9th S. vi. 48).—In these re mote districts such works as the ' Hist. Eng Diet.' and the ' Diet. Nat. Biog.' do not find their way, so perhaps 1 may be allow_ed tt cite an instance of this word occurring in th< 'Apollo Belvedere' of H. H. Milman, after •wards Dean of St. Paul's, in his Newdigate prize poem of 1812 (in those days they were limited to fifty lines) :— Heard ye the arrow hurtle in the sky? Heard ye the dragon monster's vengeful cry ? In settled majesty of fierce disdain, Proud of his might, yet scornful of the slain. The same word is used in the ' Sportswoman in India,' a recently published book, in a graphic description of pig-sticking:— " Gracious heavens! she missed him. It was but an instant: home went the pig's charge, and over went the Arab as though he had been a ninepin. M. was hurtled into the air, a vision of sky followed, and then stars." M. appears to have been a lady, and a very courageous one, and not to have feared "verns obliquum meditantis ictum," as Horace says. JOHN PICKFORD, M.A. Newbourne Rectory, Woodbridge. BIBUEY (9th S. iv. 108, 172, 295, 331, 524; v. 384. 459).—Aluredintune is now Arlington. an adjoining village to Bibury, separatee! only by the Coin. Aldington—Eadbaldington of an early charter—is a hamlet a mile distant. The latter does not appear to be mentioned in the Domesday Survey, perhaps being then included in the manor of Bibury. Arlington has been considered a filial colony of the Harling. In the seventeenth century it was sometimes, if not usually, written Arlington. With the softened prefix Aluredintune would easily become Ardmeton. The aspirate has in many cases been dropped (' N. <fe O.,' 9th S. v. 193). A century ago the manor (Arlington) was owned by a family named Hall. Inscrip- tions in the aisle of the parish church (Biburj) mark the last resting-place of several of the family. It is now owned by W. A. Wykeham Musgitive, Esq., of Barnsley Park, Qlos, and Thame Park, Oxon. Since writing the above I have read the reply from LORD SHERBORNE. That "there is no trace of any manor house at Arlington " is scarcely correct. The house occupied by former owners of the manor (Hall) stands in the village, the gabled end nearest the main road. The outside staircase, with two lights, and some indoor work indicate a sixteenth or seventeenth century erection, but the greater part of the building is modern. It was for many years a farmhouse, the land attached being known as Hay, or Haigh, Farm. Hay Barn, a mile distant, and fields by the name of Long Hay, Pool Hay, and Slat(e) Quar Hay, exist, formerly a part of the farm. Has not the name some signifi- cance? The Bibury parish award, 1770, speaks of the tithing of Arlington. B. B. "THEY SAY. WHAT SAY THEY? LET THEM SAY" (9th S. v. 456; vi. 53).—In Burgon's ' Letters from Borne' (p. 288) this sentiment, pxpressed in Greek, is mentioned as being "the favourite posy" on rings found at Pompeii. Prof, Middleton, too, in 'The Engraved Gems of Classical Times' (p. 95) says:— " Proverbial phrases sometimes occur on late Etonian gems ; the following philosophical maxim is specially common:— AtyoiKrtv o 0(ov(riv Atyirtacrav Ov /lfcl ftOl. " A free translation of this phrase is inscribed over he doors of various houses in Scotland built in the ixteenth and seventeenth centuries :— They haif said. Quhat say they ? Lat thame say. " An example in the Paris Bibliotheque has the ollowing addition at the end of this phrase :— CY$IAEIME CYM^EPICOI, meaning ' Love me: it is for your advantage (to do ST. SWITHIN. [See review of Watt's 'Aberdeen and Banff,' nte, p. 159.] EXTENT OF ST. MARTIN'S PARISH (9th S. . 397, 479 ; vi. 36, 70).—I do not happen to now of a particular case where the ground f action was laid in the parish named by H. T. B. In 6 ' Modern Reports,' 228, is a ase of Michaelmas, 3 Annas, where a bond ued upon had been made abroad. "The /ourt said " (Smith, ' Leading Cases in orainou Law,' 1879, i. 677) that the declara- lon " would have been good if laid at Fort t. George in the East Indies, to wit, at jondon, in the Ward of Cheap." In Mostyn
