GRAVES OF POLISH EXILES IN BRITAIN.— I should be glad to hear of any graves or memorials in the British Isles of Polish exiles. The only ones I know are those of Ostrowski, Nowosielski, Darasz, and Worcell in Highgate cemetery, and that of Stolzman at Haverigg, but no doubt there are many scattered about the country.

REGIMENTAL CHAPLAINS, H.M. 84TH REGIMENT. The following meagre particulars of the chaplains to the regiment are known. Can any reader supply information as to the date and place of birth, education, and careers before appointment to and after leaving the regiment ?

William Parry, Jan. 9, 1759, to Dec. 25, 1764; joined the Bengal Establishment Nov. 4, 1762; died in Calcutta, April 13, 1769.

John Bethune, June 14, 1775, to 1783; died 1817. It is probable that he was domiciled in America both before and after this service.

Thomas Beamish, Nov. 2, 1793. Thomas Beaumont, March 1, 1794, to 1797.

Second Battalion, 84th Regiment.—-Alexander Mackenzie, July 12, 1777; transferred to 77th Foot, 1782. William Duncan, Aug. 1, 1782 (v. McKenzie transferred), to 1783. (Both the above probably were domiciled in America.) 15, 1794, to full service in the Red MAZINGARBE.

What is the meaning of "firdor"? Is the word met with elsewhere? The meaning which suggests itself is " border," but search in dictionaries old and new is without result. Dr. Henry Bradley has kindly verified "Arber" with the original and finds the spelling is correct so far as that is concerned. Is it possible that the printer of the original 'Term Catalogue' made a mistake? Sea, 1799.

"SATAN REPROVING SIN."-At 11 S. v. 330, I find that the source of this phrase was asked, but no replies appear to have been received, The librarian of Guildhall assisted me by a reference to Lean's 'Collectanea,' vol. iv. (1904), p. 91, where Lean quotes James Kelly's 'Scottish Proverbs,' (1721). Another hint was received from a Scotsman, who pointed to The Fortunes of Nigel,' vol. ii. (1879), p. 311, where George Heriot says, "I am afraid I might have thought of the old proverb of Satan reproving sin." Can any present-day reader

assist further ?

THE MONTFORTS OF FARLEIGH.-In his guide to Farleigh Hungerford, the Rev. J. E. Jackson gives a pedigree of the Montforts of Farleigh Montfort, as it was at one time called. He writes: "In the reign of William Rufus, it had been granted to the family of Montfort, from whom it obtained the name of Farleigh Montfort. They were lords also of Wellow and Half a manor of Nunney. The first Montfort he refers to in his pedigree is one Henry de Montfort, A.D. 1200. They would appear to have belonged to the family of Montfort-sur-Risle.

Could any reader of N. & Q.' throw any who bore the arms of light upon their history before 1200 ?

Is it known whether this Remont belonged to the ancient family three tombstones which are shown upon a sundial at Newchurch, Isle of Wight, and are said to be quartered with those of the members of the Dillington family? Can anyone say if these arms are still borne by any family other than Sir John Tomes (the late) and his descendants and those connected with Long Marston, Gloucestershire?

these dates cannot be correct, as I pointed out at 9 S. ix. 425. In the D.N.B.' Kirby (Annals,' p. 229) stated that More (vii. 199) there is an account of Robert gave the College its "Election Cup," an Buckenham (D.D., 1531) which ignores his error which was unfortunately repeated in connexion, if any, with the Archdeaconry Sir Charles Jackson's History of English of Lewes.

The word "botagium," which I translated above merely as botage," is said in D'Arnis's 'Lexicon' (1890) to signify "præstatio pro vino quod in botis seu vasis vinariis distrahitur," which apparently means ment for (or duty on) wine sold in butts or wine-jars," but it seems to me just possible that the word, as used in the above passage and elsewhere in our accounts, is equivalent to "batillagium," and means "boatage or boat-hire." The Warden and his party rode from Winchester to Brentford, and frequently went thence by boat to Queenhithe, to put up at Trumper's Inn," a house which the College owned in Little Trinity Lane.

The Easter progress ("progressus Pasche") was one of two progresses which the Warden used to make annually, to visit the College estates. It generally took him to Harmondsworth in Middlesex, where the manor then belonged to the College, and it was perhaps from that neighbourhood that More rode to Parliament towards the end of

William Tyndale, which ended in Tyndale's horrible death at Vilvorde. Though the fact is not mentioned in the 'D.N.B., Buckenham and Phillips were attainted for treason by our Parliament of 1539 ( L. & P.,' vol. xiv., Pt. I., No. 867, p. 402), but I cannot say whether either of them, being caught in this country, suffered the penalties of attainder.

Dallaway (p. 143) said :

The entrance to Chichester-house, from the South-street, leads through Canon-gate, which was greatly repaired by Edward Moore, Warden of Winton College.

In 1912, when it was decided that the shields of our Wardens should form part of the decoration of the College Chapel, I was unaware of the above passage.
