Together ACT OF PARLIAMENT CLOCK" (11 S. x. 130; 12 S. iii. 462).-The following extract from 'Old Clocks and Watches and their Makers,' by F. J. Britten, answers ST. SWITHIN's query: "In 1797 an Act of Parliament was passed to tax all clocks and watches. Although the imposition of this obnoxious tax paralysed the horological trade, it had the effect of creating one kind of time-keeper; for tavern-keepers, anticipating a scarcity of time-keepers among individuals, with one mind seem to have adopted a bold mural time-piece for the benefit of those who visited their public rooms....An Act of Parliament clock' had usually a large dial of wood painted black with gilt figures, not covered by a glass, and a trunk long enough to allow of a seconds pendulum....In country inns Act of Parliament clocks may still occasionally be geen.

TANKARDS WITH MEDALS INSERTED (12 S. iii. 445, 483, 520).-Some years ago at a friend's, not a tankard indeed, but a silver toddy-ladle with ebony stem, into the centre of the bowl of which was inserted a gold guinea piece of Queen Anne, the head showing inwards, the royal arms outwards. I remember telling my friend that, according to prices at a recent sale, the coin itself was worth 127. This was about 1894. She now informs me that the ladle, being an heirloom, was sent with other plate and valuables to her banker's; and, though she does not remember the exact date of the inscription, she is sure it bore Queen Anne's head, and was no counterfeit, but a true coin of the realm.

WEEKS's statement, have expressed the idea that Clitheroe was proverbial for bribery. As MR. WEEKS'S narrative shows, though money must have flowed like water in connexion with the expenses attendant on the returns, petitions, and inquiries at Clitheroe and in Parliament, there is little evidence and no proof of bribery in the technical sense.

The book contains much valuable information as to the pictures by Jan Weenix and by his father, Jan Baptist Weenix; also a specimen of the former's signature to his many canvases, with records of sales by auction of the productions of both artists. Jan so closely followed the style of his father and instructor, Mr. James tells us, that it is sometimes difficult to decide by which of them a picture was executed."

In the first place, the horses used are the black Dutch horses (the same as black or dun-coloured are used for State occasions by the English royal family). This breed of horses looks best when stallions are used, they being fuller in body and larger, and the breed is so quiet that stallions are no trouble to drive. Secondly, and probably the chief reason. why they are used in funerals, the stallions of all breeds are the only horses which are pure black. A gelded black horse turns a rusty brown. WALTER WINANS. Carlton Hotel, Pall Mall, S.W.1. 427).-Probably it was Mr. Rudyard Kipling who brought into vogue the name Hun for German. His poem The Rowers,' which appeared in The Times of Dec. 22, 1902, was written concerning the joint attack made by English and German cruisers on Venezuela in December, 1902. The following stanzas are particularly in-teresting now: Last night ye swore our voyage was done, And ye tell us now of a secret vow There never was shame in Christendie Of evil times that men could choose What brooding Judgment lot ye loose In sight of peace-from the Narrow Seas With the Goth and the shameless Hun! ...the Huns opening all letters. I wonder if they can read them when they have opened them; if so, they may see in my MOST LEGIBLE HAND, THAT I THINK THEM DAMNED SCOUNDRELS AND BARBARIANS, and THEIR EMPEROR a FOOL, and themselves more fools than he; all which Moore's they may send to Vienna for anything I care.' Letters and Journals of Lord Byron," Letter 400. "Letters opened?'-to be sure they are, and that's the reason why I always put in my opinion of the German Austrian scoundrels."-Letter412. Byron uses the name "Hun in the paragraph preceding Letter 423. Under date Jan. 12, 1821, he expresses a liking for Germans, after reading and translating some of their writings, and remembering what he has seen on the Rhine of the country and people : "all, except the Austrians, whom I abhor, loatheand I cannot find words for my hate of them, and should be sorry to find deeds correspondent to my hate; for I abhor cruelty more than I abhor the Austrians."

PEDDIE'S NO. 3) is in black-letter, and carries According to De Wind, there was a second Dutch edition published at Nortvvicq in 1581. De Wind also says that Petrus Burmannus the younger deals with the book in his Analecta Belgica,' published in 1772, but a hasty glance through the two volumes failed to reveal the passage. The French editions published at Lyons do not appear to be in the British Museum.
