familiar with the spectacle of Bajazeth " locked in a cage." CHARLES CRAWFOED. (To be continued.)

THE FIRST LADY BARRISTER. The Sphere for March 9th contains a full-page illustration of the swearing-in of Mile. Cnauvin, the lady barrister, who made her first appearance on the 23rd of February before M. Magnaud, the President of the Tribunal at Chateau-Thierry. The Sphere states that the judge, in welcom- ing Mile. Chauvin, said that " the law which had accorded her the right to practise had not been received with equal enthusi- asm by all her male confreres. The Chateau-Thierry Tribunal, on the contrary, applauded that law, as it would energetically applaud all measures tending to emancipate woman. That was why he enter- tained the hope that at an early date a law would be passed which would allow women to sit in the ordinary tribunals as judges. It was with this hope that he welcomed to the bar of his court the first woman who had come to plead before it."

VANISHING LONDON : CHRIST'S HOSPITAL. -The Standard of March 7th contains the following :

"The beginning of the end has already been commenced in grim earnest at Christ's Hospital. The Lenten suppers of this year will be the last that will take place in the historic building in Newgate Street. The coloured windows have already been removed, and a few weeks hence the fine organ will be dismantled. It is intended to overhaul it thoroughly, and then to erect it in the large hall at Horsham. The organ an old Blue has promised to present will be placed in the chapel in course of erection."

MANNINGHAM AND 'TWELFTH NIGHT.' I do not think attention has been called before to the following parallel :

Fabian. Now, as thou lovest me, let me see his letter.

Clown. Good Master Fabian, grant me another request.

Fab. Aqything.

Clo. Do-not desire to see this letter.

Fab. T'MS is, to give a dog, and in recompense desire mj dog again. ' Twelfth Night,' V. i.

Manningham's * Diary,' 26 March, 1603 :

the Queenes kinsman, had a dog which he doted one [vie] soe much that the Queene understanding of it requested he would graunt hir one desyre, and he should have what soever he would aske. Shee demaunded his dogge ; he gave it, and 'Nowe Madam, quoth he, 'you promised to give me my desyre. ' I will,' quothe she. ' Then I pray you give me my dog againe.'"
 * Mr. Francis Curie told me howeone Dr. Bullein,

If, as we may assume from the way in which Manningham introduces it, the anecdote, to which Shakespeare evidently alludes, was cur-

rent at the time, the parallel furnishes some slight additional evidence that 'Twelfth Night ' had not long been written, and there- fore that the occasion when Manningham saw it acted in February, 1601/2, was that of its first performance. G. CROSSE.

EDWARD HAMLEY, B.C.L. (BORN 1764). The * Diet. Nat. Biog.,' vol. xxiv. p. 238, seems to be in error in assigning the death of this scholar and poet to 1837. His death was an- nounced in the Gent. Mag. for 1835, p. 441 ; and an inscription in Stanton St. John parish church, his burial-place, states that he died 7 December, 1834. He was the elder of the two sons of Thomas Hamley, rector of !St. Columb-Major, Cornwall, by his second marriage with Mary, sister of Richard Mant, D.D., rector of All Saints', Southampton. (Cf. Harl. Soc. publ., vol. xxxv. p. 340, where for " Hambey " read Hamley; 'Diet. Nat. Biog./ vol. xxxvi. p. 96.) His younger brother, Giles Hamley, of Bow Churchyard, Cheapside, and Newington, Surrey, died in 1808 (see Gent. Mag. for 1808, pt. i. p. 563). The Hamley pedigree in Maclean's ' Hist, of Trigg Minor/ vol. ii. pp. 550-1, errs in creating two distinct persons out of his only half-brother Thomas Tregenna Hamley (born 1759). H. C.

" PINHOEN," A GHOST - WORD. The ' En- cyclopaedic Dictionary ' describes this as " a gurgative oil derived from Curcas multifidus." y way of etymology it adds "native name." This looks as if the editor of the dictionary took it to be Indian or negro, whereas it is merely Portuguese. Its interest consists in the fact that it is what PROF. SKEAT, in his brilliant article on ' Mazame ' (9 th S. vi. 206), calls a ghost- word, the record of a blunder, a singular coined from a plural. The Portuguese singular is pinhao. The English singular, pinkoen, is an incorrect deduction from the Portuguese plural pinhoens. The word as a term of pharmacy occurs in very old books. Thus, in the English translation of Acosta's ' Naturall Historic,' 1604 (iv. xxix. 289), I find, There are a thousand of these simples fit to

purge, as .pignons of Punua and many

pther things." More usually the full phrase is " Pinhoens do Brazil," and the pinhoen as Brazilian is mentioned by W. Piso in his ' De Reb. Nat. Indiarum,' 1648, iv. xl. The editors of the ' N.E.D.' may be glad to know of these instances of its use.

" ANYONE " : " EVERYONE." Although the dictionaries give each of these two expressions as two words, I think it will generally be acj-
