NOTES AND QUERIES. 10 s. vm. JULY 27, 1907.


many libraries, I should add that an edition was published in London in 1833, edited by W. B. D. D. Turnbull ; but I have not seen a copy of it.

By the way, W. B. D. D. Turnbull appears as a querist at p. 157 in the first volume of the First Series of ' N. & Q.' 5 Jan., 1850.

I have come across a similar entry in the West Hanningfield Register (Essex) ; and as it belongs to the seventeenth century it may be of use to quote it :

" Jane Clovill, the late widow of Eustace Clovill Esquier, was buried the 24th day of June, and the funeral was kept the 8th day of July, 1604. No such entry is made for persons of small social importance. I suggest that the richer people did what the poorer could not that they gathered their friends and rela- tions from a distance for a memorial or requiem service after the first service of interment (at which they could not be present) was a thing of the past. Before the time of Edward VI. there was a celebration of the Holy Communion at each service. On this see Wheatley, p. 488. FRANK PENNY.

SIB THOMAS LUCY (10 S. vii. 449). Maybe your correspondent seeks an article from the pen of John Payne Collier, which appeared just fifty-five years ago in Archceo- logia, entitled ' The Lucies of Charlecote.'

A more recent contribution, headed ' Observations on the Charlecote Traditions and Personation of Sir Thomas Lucy in the Character of Justice Shallow,' by J. O. Halliwell-Phillipps, was issued in 1887, 8vo.

In or about 1890 a magazine article by Sir G. Douglas appeared, entitled ' A Shakespearean Misunderstanding : the Lucy Story.' I cannot recall the magazine, but it could doubtless be traced in Poole's ' Index to Periodical Literature.' A copy of the article is in the Birmingham Public Library. WILLIAM JAGGABD.

RUTLEDGE FAMILY OF CHABLESTOWN, SOUTH CABOLINA (10 S. vii. 490). This was a distinguished family. Dr. John Rutledge came to South Carolina from Ireland about 1735. Three of his sons John (1739-1800), Hugh (1741-1811), and Edward (1749-1800) studied law at the Temple, and became well known in South Carolina. John took a leading part in the politics of the time, became Governor of South Carolina, and on 1 July, 1795, was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. He presided at the August term, but when the Senate met the


following December his mind had become diseased, and the nomination was rejected. Sketches of the above, as well as of several other members of the family, will be found in ' Appletons' Cyclopaedia of American Bio- graphy.' MB. CBOUCH should also consult G. Van Santvoord's ' Sketches of the Lives and Judicial Services of the Chie' Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States ' (1854), H. Flanders's 'Lives and Times of the Chief Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States ' (1855), andC. B. Hartley's ' Life of General Francis Marion : also, Lives of Generals Moultrie and Pickens, and Governor Rutledge ' (1866).

The name of the chief city of South Carolina, by the way, though formerly spelt " Charlestown," is now spelt " Charles- ton." ALBEBT MATTHEWS.

"WOUND": ITS PRONUNCIATION (10 S. vii. 328, 390). At the latter reference V.H.I.L.I.C.I.V. seems to imply that the place Oundle is pronounced Oondle. I lived in Northamptonshire for forty years, and have frequently been to Oundle ; but . cannot remember to have ever once heard the same pronounced except with the first syllable as in pound, round, sound.

In the Eastern Counties wound certainly rimes with sound where the local dialect is spoken. How does PBOF. SKEAT account for the w-sound not having been preserved in this and other local dialects ?

The following passages may be cited from ' Marmion,' canto v. stanzas 31 and 32 : Lord Marmion started from the ground, As light as if he felt no wound. And:

With fruitless labour, Clara bound, And strove to staunch, the gushing wound. JOHN PICKFOBD, M.A. Newbourne Rectory, Wooclbridge. Wound rimes with sound, pound, hound, &c., as pronounced in many of the Northern dialects, which retain numerous character- istics of the older forms of speech : thus " soond," " poond," " hoond." M.

THIBKELL OB THBELKELD FAMILY (10 S. vi. 229 ; vii. 218, 251). Every bit of original matter helps in family record. There is amongst the non-parochial registers at Somerset House, which are far too little worked, that of the Parkhead Meeting-house, Hudlesclough, Cumberland. It contains the
