 372 NOTES AND QUERIES. [9* s. vi. NOV. 10, im The two prebendaries were, I submit, distinct persons. They are, however, treated as one in Bloxam's 'Beg. of Magd. Coll., Oxford,' vol. v. p. 215. It seems that the Norwich prebendary was the Magdalen man (cp. Bloxam, vol. y. p. 140, and Blomefield and Parkins, vol. ii. p. 484). I may add that the will of the Winchester prebendary, dated and proved 1C91 (P.C.C. 139 Vere), shows that his only whole brother was John Hawkins, Fellow of Trin. Coll., Carab., and that his -sister Temperance was married to Brabazon Aylmer (cp. Harl. Soc. Pub., vol. xxiii. p. 285), who was probably the publisher (see Morant's 'Essex,' vol. ii. p. 136; Nichols's ' Leicestershire.' vol. iii. p. 908). H. C. SIR WALTER SCOTT : " ANOTHER FOR HEC- TOR !" (9th S. vi. 251.)—My friend Mr. Allan R. Macdonald, yr., of Waternish, Skye, who is an expert in Highland genealogies and folk-lore, points out that Sir Hector Maclean, second baronet of Moryern, led his men at Inverkeithing, while his nephew, Sir John Maclean, commanded those of the clan who fought at Sheriffmuir. In the 'Baronetage of Scotland,' 1798, this passage occurs, with a marginal reference to Balcarres's ' Memoirs ' and Buchanan's ' History of the Clans,' p. 60: "A sincere loyalist, he [Sir Hector Maclean] raised 700 men of his clan for the service of the Royal family. Sir Hector with his clan and the Buchanans, being the only part of the Royal army that engaged, were overpowered by numbers in the following action. The Ross branch of the Macleans •were very great sufferers by endeavouring to pro- tect their chief after they were surrounded and all the rest cut to pieces; but, unfortunately, he and almost his whole men were killed at the battle pf Inverkeithing, anno 1651." In Sheriff Nicolson's 'Gaelic Proverbs,' p. 385, there is this entry :— " Fear eil' air son Eachainn ! Another for Hector. Said at the battle of Inverkeithing, 1652 [16511. in reference to the chief of the Macleans, Hector Roy of Duart, who was killed there with hundreds ol his clan.— Cuairtear, 1842, pp. 96-7." In 'Sketches of the Highlanders,' p. 63 (1822), by Sir David Stewart of Garth, the following is part of the description given oi the battle of Inverkeithing :— " In the heat of the conflict, seven brothers of the clan sacrificed their lives in defence of their leader Sir Hector Maclean As one brother fell, another came up in succession to cover hiui, crying, ' Another for Hector !' This phrase has continued ever since as a proverb or watchword when a man encounters any sudden danger that requires instant succour. It is likely that this was the direct source o Scott's inspiration on the point in question as he quotes from Stewart's ' Sketches' in th preface of 1831. It thus appears that Sir Walter Scott, when riting his ' Journal,' probably recollected he part taken at Sheriffmuir by Sir John rlaclean, and for the moment connected with lim the splendid and pathetically romantic ncident associated with the heroism of his uncle. Cromwell's account of the battle of nverkeithing is given in Letter clxxv. of }arlyle's ' Cromwell's Letters and Speeches.' THOMAS BAYNE. Sir Walter's memory played him false when in his ' Journal,' under date 17 October, 827, he stated that the cry " Another for lector!" occurred at the battle of Sheriff- muir. He was accurate in his final preface to the 'Fair Maid of Perth' (1831), where the reference is to the battle of Inverkeithinjc- General Stewart—a friend of Scott's—in his Sketches of the Highlanders,' p. 63 in 1885 edition (the book was first published in 1822), In that fight, between the Royalists and Jromwell. 500 of the clan McLean were left dead on the field, and in the heat of the con- lict seven brothers sacrificed their lives in defence of Sir Hector McLean—as one urother fell another came up in succession to cover him, crying, " Another for Hector !" ARMS WANTED (9th S. vi. 309).—D. K. T. cannot surely have seen the reply which has already appeared. In that nis error in speaking of an impaled shield as that of a maiden lady was pointed put; and the page, 947, in Papworth was given, but not the name, which is Okes. J. LONSDALE. This query has been answered, and the reply may be found ante, p. 258. The querist, whose description of the coat is inaccurate, might have taken the trouble to consult the pages of ' N. & Q.,' and so have spared needless repetition. RICHARD R. HOLMES. Royal Library, Windsor Castle. CAPEL FAMILY (9th S. vi. 28, 234).—Perhaps Capel is simply a twelfth or fourteenth cen- tury formation of Curpayle, the latter cover- ing the original Norman (? Queen Matilda, Flanders adventurer) owner of divers lands or manors within Norfolk, Essex, and Suffolk. At least, I get this notion from diving into Blomeneld's gigantic account of ancient Norfolk, where, by the way, Capel appears as an alia* to Curple. Capel's Manor on the Stour river, one of these very Curpayle places now spelt Coupals (whence my surname, the manor deeds showing Cupples as its orthographic
