Devil Moving Stones. — In connection with the state- ment in the Devon Notes and Queries [Antient Stone Crosses^ p. 43] as to the legend related of the Church of Plympton St. Mary, the following extract from a paper entitled " Comparing Notes with an Old Traveller," the old traveller being Dr. Veryard, a physician residing at Exeter, at the commencement of the eighteenth century, appearing in Sketches from Life and Jottings from Books (published by T. C. Newby, 30, Welbeck Street, Cavendish Square, in 1864), may be of interest — " In the quaint dirty tumbledown City of Poitiers, Dr. Veryard detected a marvel which escaped my observation. It con- sisted in a stone, twenty-five feet high, sixty in compass, and supported by five small ones. ' Some will needs have S. Aldegonde to have brought it hither on her shoulders, with the five supporters in her apron, and that, letting one fall by the way, the devil took it up, and following her to the place where she erected the stone on four pillars, set the fifth in the middle ; but, cunning artificer as he is, he could not make it touch the great stone by an inch, nor does it to this day,* " VOVAGEUR. 56. Iron Shoes for Plough-Oxen. — A neighbour of mine in Exbourne, Mr. Cawker, has kindly given me two old iron-shoes for plough-oxen, which he came across when digging in his garden, and which he tells me were called Q's or cues. I rather think the name should be Q, for each shoe is a little in the shape of a capital Q, or rather of a large comma. Can any of your subscribers give us any information regarding these shoes ?
