Notes and Queries, Number 211, November 12, 1853

S. A. S.

Bridgewater.

Heraldic Query (Vol. viii., p. 219.).—Although A. was killed in open rebellion, I think his armorial bearings were not forfeited unless he was subsequently attainted by act of parliament; and even in that case it is possible that the act contained a provision that the penalty should not extend to the prejudice of any other person than the offender. Assuming that A. was not attainted, or that the consequences of his attainder were thus restricted to himself, or that his attainder has been reversed, it is clear that his lawful posterity are still entitled to his arms, notwithstanding the acceptance by his grandson C. of a new grant, which obviously could no more affect the title to the ancient arms than the creation of a modern barony can destroy the right of its recipient to an older one. The descendants of C. being thus entitled to both coats, could, I imagine, without difficulty obtain a recognition of their right; and I think they might either use the ancient arms alone, or the ancient and the modern arms quarterly, precedence being given to the former. The proper course would be to seek the licence of the crown for the resumption of the ancient surname, as well as of the arms. Such permission would, I apprehend, be now conceded, even though it should appear that the arms were really forfeited.

Henry Gough.

Emberton, Bucks.

The Temple Lands in Scotland (Vol. viii., p. 317.).—These lands, or a portion of them, were acquired, and afterwards transferred by sale, to Mr. Gracie, by James Maidment, Esq., the eminent Scottish antiquary, who, in 1828-29, privately printed—

"Templaria: Papers Relative to the History, Privileges, and Possessions of the Scottish Knights Templars, and their Successors, the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, with Notes," &c.

This will no doubt contain all that your correspondent Abredonensis could desire upon the subject, provided he can obtain it; for the work, professing to be printed by the author for presents, is confined to twenty-five copies, and must therefore be rare. In 1831 was published by Stevenson, Edinburgh, an Historical Account of Linlithgowshire, by the late John Penney.9 This is edited by Mr. Maidment, and contains a chapter entitled an "Account of the Transmission of the United Estates of the Templars and Hospitallers, after the dissolution of the Order in the reign of Queen Mary;" and although the object of the editor is to notice the charters connected with Linlithgowshire, the book contains a sketch of the general history of the lands in question, abridged from the Templaria.

J. O.

Sir John Vanbrugh (Vol. viii., p. 65. &c.).—In An Account of the Life and Death of Mr. Matthew Henry, published in the year 1716, his biographer having related that he was chosen a minister of a congregation of Dissenters in the city of Chester, and that he went there to reside on the first day of June, 1687, goes on to state (p. 75.):

"That city was then very happy in several worthy gentlemen that had habitations there; they were not altogether strangers to Mr. Henry before he came to live among them, but now they came to be his very intimate acquaintance; some of these, as Alderman Mainwaring and Mr. Vanbrugh, father to Sir John Vanbrugh, were in communion with the Church of England, but they heard Mr. Henry on the week-day lectures, and always treated him with great and serious respect."

This evidence serves to show that a Mr. Vanbrugh, who was living in Chester in 1687, was the father of Sir John Vanbrugh. I have been told that in former times there was a sugar-bakery at Chester. Did the father of Sir John Vanbrugh carry on that business at Chester during any period of his residence there?

N. W. S.

Sir Arthur Aston (Vol. viii., p. 126.).—In reference to the Query of your correspondent Chartham, I take leave to refer him to Playfair's Baronetage, vol. ii. p. 257., where a pedigree of that ancient family is inserted. In p. 261. is a note, by which it appears that the said Sir Arthur Aston had a daughter Elizabeth, born in Russia, and married to James Thompson of Joyce Grove in Berkshire.

In addition thereto, I recollect seeing the copy of a deed of sale, dated April, 1637, by which it appears that Nicholas Hercy, of Nettlebed, in co. Oxon., sold to James Thompson of Wallingford, in co. Berkshire, "Joys Grove," in Nettlebed aforesaid; and there is united with the same James Thompson, apparently as a trustee, "George Tattersall the younger, of Finchampstead in said co. of Berkshire."

I also take leave to refer your correspondent to Lysons's Environs of London, vol. ii. p. 393., under head of "Fulham," where it is stated that Sir Arthur Aston's father resided in that parish.

An Antiquary.

Nugget (Vol. viii., p. 357.).—Colonel Mundy, in Our Antipodes, says that the word nugget was, before the days of gold digging, used by the farmers of Australia to express a small thick bullock, such as our English farmers would call a lumpy one, or a little great one.

Notices to Correspondents

We beg to call the special attention of such of our readers as are Autograph Collectors to the advertisement which appears in the present Number, descriptive of certain family and historical papers, which have been missed within the last twelve months from the proper custody, and shall only be too glad to hear that by so doing we have at all contributed to their recovery.

Books Wanted. So many of our Correspondents seem disposed to avail themselves of our plan of placing the booksellers in direct communication with them, that we find ourselves compelled to limit each list of books to two insertions. We would also express a hope that those gentlemen who may at once succeed in obtaining any desired volumes will be good enough to notify the same to us, in order that such books may not unnecessarily appear in such list even a second time.

St. John's, who asks about the Stafford Knot, will see by our last Number, p. 454., that it is the badge or cognizance of the Earls of Stafford.

Mr. Van Laun's Query as to the derivation of Huguenot is anticipated in our 6th Vol., p. 317. Will the Note there given help him to a satisfactory solution?

The Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs, 1686.—The loan of this volume is offered by T. D. to the Correspondent who advertised for it some time since in our columns.

Amicus Veritatis, who inquires respecting Cleanliness is next to Godliness, is referred to our 4th Vol., p. 491., for its probable origin.

E. G. Ballard. The curious tenure of being the King's Vautrarius, kindly forwarded by this Correspondent, is already printed in Blount's Fragmenta Antiquitates, p. 142., ed. 1784.

C. E. F. We would strongly recommend our Correspondent to adopt the paper process described by Dr. Diamond in our first Number for the present year (with correction of using the gallic acid, which, as stated in a subsequent Number, was by accident omitted). Recent experience has more than ever convinced us that if the method there laid down be strictly followed, the photographer will not meet with failures.

An Amateur (Helston). Mr. Lyte is at present abroad, or we are sure he would readily answer the Query of our Correspondent, as to whether the chloride of barium recommended by him at p. 252., and the nitrate of lead at p. 373., are to be the crystallised or liquid preparations.

An Amateur Photographer (Manchester). If you will transmit us a specimen of the failures which you mention, especially of the waved appearance, we will do the best to answer your Queries: it is impossible otherwise satisfactorily to do so.

M. A. Always use your hyposulphite of soda saturated; it does not reduce the tone of pictures near so much as when it is used dilute.

"Notes and Queries" is published at noon on Friday, so that the Country Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcels, and deliver them to their Subscribers on the Saturday.

INDIGESTION, CONSTIPATION, NERVOUSNESS, &c.—BARRY, DU BARRY & CO.'S HEALTH-RESTORING FOOD for INVALIDS and INFANTS.

THE REVALENTA ARABICA FOOD, the only natural, pleasant, and effectual remedy (without medicine, purging, inconvenience, or expense, as it saves fifty times its cost in other remedies) for nervous, stomachic, intestinal, liver and bilious complaints, however deeply rooted, dyspepsia (indigestion), habitual constipation, diarrhœa, acidity, heartburn, flatulency, oppression, distension, palpitation, eruption of the skin, rheumatism, gout, dropsy, sickness at the stomach during pregnancy, at sea, and under all other circumstances, debility in the aged as well as infants, fits, spasms, cramps, paralysis, &c.

A few out of 50,000 Cures:—

Cure, No. 71, of dyspepsia; from the Right Hon. the Lord Stuart de Decies:—"I have derived considerable benefits from your Revalenta Arabica Food, and consider it due to yourselves and the public to authorise the publication of these lines.—Stuart de Decies."

Cure, No. 49,832:—"Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia, nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sickness at the stomach, and vomitings have been removed by Du Barry's excellent food.—Maria Jolly, Wortham Ling, near Diss, Norfolk."

Cure, No. 180:—"Twenty-five years' nervousness, constipation, indigestion, and debility, from which I had suffered great misery, and which no medicine could remove or relieve, have been effectually cured by Du Barry's food in a very short time.—W. R. Reeves, Pool Anthony, Tiverton."

Cure, No. 4,208:—"Eight years' dyspepsia, nervousness, debility, with cramps, spasms, and nausea, for which my servant had consulted the advice of many, have been effectually removed by Du Barry's delicious food in a very short time. I shall be happy to answer any inquiries.—Rev. John W. Flavell, Ridlington Rectory, Norfolk."

Dr. Wurzer's Testimonial"Bonn, July 19. 1852.

"This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excellent, nourishing, and restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many cases, all kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful in confined habit of body, as also diarrhœa, bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys and bladder, such as stone or gravel; inflammatory irritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of the kidneys and bladder, strictures, and hemorrhoids. This really invaluable remedy is employed with the most satisfactory result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary complaints, where irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pulmonary and bronchial consumption, in which it counteracts effectually the troublesome cough; and I am enabled with perfect truth to express the conviction that Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica is adapted to the cure of incipient hectic complaints and consumption.

"Dr. Rud Wurzer"Counsel of Medicine, and practical M.D. in Bonn."
