ON NOTE-TAKING.-I have recently had occasion to go over the material collected by a Scots minister in reference to his parish. It is all written in note-books and on both sides of the paper, and to be of any use would have to be retranscribed and arranged. Similar laborious collections have fallen into my hands from time to time, and as I notice amateur workers at the Public Record Office, I fancy the practical method of note-making is not so obvious as one would expect. The real way, of course, is to use separate slips of paper, cut to a standard size. This enables one to arrange and rearrange the material in any way desired. The bound note-book is a wasteful fallacy. J. M. BULLOCH. TARRED ROADS IN 1886.-These are mentioned in a little pamphlet written by Mr. W. H.

"Yesterday morning [April 11th, 1775] Mr. Justice Aston reported to the Court of King's Bench his minutes of the evidence on the trial of Messrs. Leigh, Miles, James, Aldus and Clarke on the 24th of February last, the first four of whom were convicted of a conspiracy and riot, and the latter of a riot only, in Covent Garden Theatre, on the 18th of November, 1773, with intent to drive Mr. Macklin from the stage. Lord Mansit a national disgrace, and in very severe terms field observed on the nature of the offence, called reprobated the conduct of the parties concerned in it. He said in the first stage of the business he had urgently advised the defendants to make Mr. Macklin an adequate compensation for the great damage he had sustained; that he then particularly pointed out as an adviseable measure the saving of the costs, by putting an end to the matter at once; that the law expences were now enormous sum, which sum the swelled to an defendants themselves had given rise to, by their obstinacy and want of prudence. -Some time was spent in the court's endeavouring to make an amicable adjustment of the matter, and a final conclusion of it. Mr. Colman was proposed as arbiter general, which the defendants unanimously agreed to, but Mr. Colman declined the office; at length Mr. Macklin, after recapitulating his grievances, informed the court, that to shew he was no way revengeful, with which he had been charged, he would be satisfied for the defendants to pay his law expences, to take one hundred pounds worth of tickets on the night of worth on the night of his own benefit, and a third his daughter's benefit, a second hundred pounds on one of the manager's nights, when he should play; this plan, he observed, was not formed on mercenary views; its basis was to give the defendants popularity, and restore mutual amity. Lord Mansfield paid Mr. Macklin very high compliments on the honourable complexion and singular moderation of this proposal; his lordship declared, it did him the highest credit; that generosity was universally admired in this country, and there was no manner of doubt but the public at large would honour and applaud him for his lenity; his lordship added further, that notwithstanding his acknowledged abilities as an actor, he never acted better in his life than he had that day. The proposal was accepted by the parties, and the matter was thus ended. During the course of the business lord Mansfield took occasion to observe, that the right of hissing and applauding in a theatre was an unalterable right, but that there was a wide distinction between expressing the natural sensations of the mind as they arose on what was seen and heard, and executing a preconcerted design, not only to hiss an actor when he was playing a part in which he was universally allowed to be excellent, but also to drive him from the theatre, and promote his utter ruin."

The Uve. dale family appears to have owned the portrait "from time immemorial," and it would be of great interest to learn whether the family still possesses it, and also whether it is the original of the engraving by Houston, published in Rolt's 'Lives of the Principal Reformers' (1759). Another portrait of Hooper was published in "A Short Narrative of Facts, relative to the Five Protestant Bishops of the Church of England,' issued in 1839 by C. Richards, 100, St. Martin's Lane, London. This was engraved by H. B. Hall from a drawing by J. Childe "From the original Portraits." The Bishop is here represented in full episcopal dress, and the drawing gives the impression of being copied from Houston, with the addition of various details, though the word "Portraits" would suggest that more than one had been studied, and possibly the Uvedale portrait was among them.

SIR JOHN MOORE'S BROTHER, SURGEON JAMES MOORE: HIS BURIAL - PLACE EQUALLY STRANGE. Sir John Moore was the eldest of three brothers, their father 'being Dr. John Moore, who died in 1802. The second son, James (or, as he called himself, James Carrick), was born in 1763, and died in 1834, and it is an interesting fact, little known, that, like his eldest brother's, his place of burial is unique, while it is equally honourable. In the island of Ischia, in the Bay of Naples-a THE wholly volcanic island-are many craters, and at the bottom of one is a white marble tombstone, recording the burial there, in that strange position, of Surgeon James Moore. The island had been visited with the scourge of cholera, and most of the inhabitants fled to the mainland, but Dr. Moore remained to attend the sick. He, too, eventually fell a victim to the dread plague, and was buried in the place of honour at the bottom of an extinct crater, while the other victims of the epidemic were interred in ascending circles round the sides. J. HARRIS STONE. IDENTITY OF EMELINE DE I AM desirous of obtaining the assistance of as "About 1170 Bray was bestowed by Richard de Clare, or Strongbow, Earl of Pembroke and Strigul, on Walter de Reddesford, who took the title of Baron of Bray, and built a castle." Vide Bray, Encyclopædia Britannica,' 11th ed., 1910, vol. iv. p. 438. His so-called daughter and heir married, first (B.E.P.,' p. 300), Hugh de Laci, who was created Earl of Ulster, and died 1242; and, secondly (B.E.P.,' p. 175), Stephen de Longespee, Chief Justice of Ireland. Both these marriages are also recorded in Banks's Dormant and Extinct Baronage' (vol. i. p. 105). In 'D.N.B.' (vol. xxxi. p. 377) it is stated that Hugh de Laci married "Emeline (sometimes called Lesceline), daughter of Walter de Redelesford," and it adds: "She was alive in Nov., 1267, but dead before 1278" (Sweetman, ii. 834; ‘Calendarium Genealogicum,' i. 256). From the Calendar of Documents relating to Ireland,' however, we learn that this Hugh de Laci married Lesceline de Verdon (so named, as was the custom in those days, after her grandmother, Lesceline, wife of Norman de Verdon, and daughter of Geoffrey de Clinton, Chamberlain and Treasurer to Henry I.). 66 Lesceline de Verdon was the only daughter of Bertram de Verdon by his second wife, Rohese, a lady of Saxon origin (Banks's Dormant and Extinct Baronage,' vol. i. p. 191; B.E.P.,' p. 534). The statement that Hugh de Laci married Lesceline de Verdon is also to be found in 'The Abbey of St. Mary, Croxden, Staffordshire,' by Charles Lynam, F.S.A., under Sketches of the Earlier Verduns,' and, I understand, in the latest edition of Burke's Extinct Peerage.' The references in the 'Calendar of Documents' above mentioned are as follows : "1224. Hugh I. being dead in 1186, Hugh II. broke out in rebellion, and Nicholas de Verdon [who was brother to Lesceline de Verdon] requested compensation from the King because his lands are wasted by Hugh de Lacy's rebellions." -No. 1210. "May 12, 1226. The King commits to Walter de Lacy....The King further commits to Walter all the lands which Hugh held of Walter's fee, with the castles of Rathour' and Le Nober which he had with Lesceline his wife of the fee of Nicholas de Verdon...."-No. 1374. "....all the lands of Hugh de Lacy his brother [Walter's] which he had in marriage with Lesceline," &c.-No. 1372. This last reference, which is a lengthy one, goes on to say that Hugh had two sons-Walter and Roger-who were alive in 1226 (Sweetman. i. 1372); but as from other sources ('D.N.B.,' vol. xxxi. p. 377) we learn that "the Earldom of Ulster of this creation came to an end at Hugh's death, for he left no male heir," we may naturally assume that his male issue, at all events, was not by his wife Lesceline. The Dunstable Annals allege that "in 1225 Hugh had abandoned his wife, and was living with an adulteress" ('Ann. Mon.,' iii. 91). As Lesceline was born in or before 1192I have never heard she was a posthumous child-it would seem, from the fact that she had one child by her second husband (Stephen de Longespee), that she must have obtained a divorce from her first husband, Hugh de Laci (B.E.P.,' p. 175, does not describe her as Hugh's widow), shortly after his desertion of her, circa 1225; for had she waited to remarry until his death in 1242 the birth of such a child would have been improbable. I have entirely failed to discover the date of her marriage to Stephen de Longespee, or the dates of his birth and decease. I find no record that Hugh de Laci ever married a second time-he could not have done so unless he had been divorced by his first wife, because she survived him; and if he did not, it seems clear (as the records in the Irish State Papers are, without doubt, more reliable evidence than the works of modern peerage compilers) that Hugh de Laci's wife was Lesceline de Verdon. How, then, came Lesceline to be described as Emeline, daughter and heir of Walter de Reddesford ? 66 It is quite possible that the original writers of the De Laci and D'Evereux pedigrees may, in reading the old difficult writing from which they copied, have partly deLesceline as Emeline, and that, instead of ciphered, and partly guessed, the name of verifying the statement, one authority after another merely copied what others had written, and so perpetuated the error. Bertram de Verdon died in 1192. In 1198 Rohese his widow, whom he had married circa 1140-possibly in her teens-and who died 1215, gave 20l. to the King for liberty to marry again (Nichols's History of the County of Leicester,' vol. iii. part ii. p. 637), and the question in my mind is, Did she marry, secondly, Walter de Reddesford, Baron of Bray? If so, it may be assumed that Lesceline, her only and, in 1198, very possibly unmarried daughter, went to reside with her mother and stepfather, and the peerage writers, having already decided for themselves, as I have shown above they may have done, that Lesceline's name was Emeline, jumped to the conclusion from her so residing that she was the daughter, instead of the stepdaughter, of Walter de Reddes. ford, who most likely, having no issue by his wife Rohese, made his stepdaughter his heir. This theory is one which, so far as my investigations have gone, I have found myself unable to prove or disprove, and is one which can only be made a certainty by knowing whom Walter de Reddesford married, and when, and whether or no he had any issue by his wife. If this Walter's wife was not Rohese de Verdon, we have the conclusion forced upon us that Lesceline de Verdon must have been a first wife of Hugh de Laci, unrecorded by the peerage compilers, and that she died without issue; further, that his second wife, and the only wife of Stephen de Longespee, was, as stated in 'B.E.P.' and Banks's 'Dormant and Extinct Baronage,' Emeline, daughter of Walter de Ridelsford, alias de Reddesford, Baron of Bray.

This is often put down in dictionaries as "Scotch"; but it is the ordinary sense, not merely in Scotland and Northern England, but also, according to the English Dialect Dictionary,' over a great part of the Midlands, in Cheshire, Notts, WarwickFINGER BOARD.-In the churchwardens' shire, Oxfordshire, as well as in the south-accounts of Eccleston, in Leyland Hunwest from Hampshire to West Somerset, dred, Lancashire, for the year 1723, occur and in the Isle of Wight. Outside England, the following items:this is recorded also as the usage in Australia and the West Indies, and (I am told) in Canada, and in Greater Britain generally. This seems to leave rather a limited area for the London or shopkeeper sense. 66 In order to have the limits of this more exactly defined than is done in the 'Dialect Dictionary, may I ask every reader o 'N. & Q.' to send me a post-card (addressed Sir James Murray, Oxford) stating in what sense or senses tradesman is used in towns, villages, or districts known to them? I suspect that the London sense will be found to prevail in towns, even in districts where the more widely diffused sense is retained in the country. This I know to be the case in Oxford, as distinct from rural Oxfordshire. A servant from a parish not ten miles from Oxford, when asked what a tradesman is, at once replied, “A carpenter, Paid to Jas. Balshaw for......making a new finger board for within the church. ... ... ... Paid to Hugh Worsley for making a finger board gilded the finger board "within and without. At Eccleston there is a clock dial on the west side of the tower outside, and another on the east side of the tower inside, facing the nave. I am therefore of opinion that the term "finger board" is here meant to apply to the clock dial. Am I right? Other interpretations have been suggested to me, but on the whole I incline to clock dial. Is the term "finger board known to have been used in this way in other places? It is written as two words. N.E.D.' gives two meanings to the word "fingerboard": (a) the flat or slightly rounded piece of wood attached to the neck of instruments of the violin and guitar class"; and (b) a key-board, manual.” F.

Strange to say, there is no mention of them in Halkett and Laing's Dictionary of the Anonymous and Pseudonymous Literature of Great Britain,' Edinburgh, 1882. Chadwick in his Life of Defoe,' 1859, thinks the first-named tract was by Harley :— "The Secret History of Arlus and Odolphus, Ministers of State to the Empress of Grandinsula.
