NOTES AND QUERIES. [io s. x. AUG. 22,
" Cadey is a hat, arid the derivation entirely
unknown." A foot-note gives a quotation
from an old music-hall song :
Sixpence I gave for my cadey, And a penny I gave for my stick. The date and title of this song would be a help. The word is in slang use hereabouts, and only recently appeared in print in The Birmingham Daily Mail. A friend tells me he heard it commonly in Australia in 1892. I presume it emanated from Cockneydom. JOHN T. PAGE. Long Itchington, Warwickshire.
TENNYSON : ' THE POET.'
The poet in a golden clime was born,
With golden stars above ; Dower'd with the hate of hate, the scorn of scorn,
The love of love.
What is the meaning of the last two lines ? I have heard them differently interpreted as meaning that the poet hates hate, scorns scorn, and loves love ; and again, that he is dowered with the quintessence of all these qualities. C. C. B.
["The poet hates hate, and scorns scorn. 'My father denounced hate and scorn as if they were " the sins against the Holy Ghost." ' ' Lord Tenny- son's note in the "Eversley" 'Tennyson,' vol. i. p. 345, which is, we presume, authoritative.]
TlNTAGEL : ITS PRONUNCIATION. 1 should
feel obliged for information as to the right pronunciation of Tintagel in Cornwall. Should it be Tintagel or Tintagel short or long ? T. H. SHERIDAN.
[The meaning of the name, but not its pronuncia- tion, was discussed at 8 S. i. 434 ; 9 S. ix. 194, 276. j
SUSANNAH OAKES OF ASHBORNE. I have a stipple print of an old lady sitting in a library, and underneath is engraved " Susannah Oakes, keeper of the Circulating Library at Ashborne in the County of Derby." Is anything further known of Susannah Oakes ? There is in pencil on the print the date 1750. A.

GRAY or DENNE HILL, KENT. Could any of your readers give me particulars of descent of this family ? They came from Scotland, purchased this estate in Kingston parish, on the Dover road, early in the eigh- teenth century, and sold it in 1774. The first of Denne Hill was Mr. James Gray, created 5 March, 1707, a Nova Scotia baronet. He married Hester Dodd, and had two sons Sir James Gray, died unm., January, 1773, and his younger brother General Sir George Gray, died February same year. Did the latter marry and have issue ? If not, who were his next of kin ? Among the sons of Patrick, Lord Gray, in Scotland, who died in 1608, Andrew, the fifth son, is specially singled out as being the grandfather of Sir James Gray, of Denne Hill in East Kent, K.B., ambassador to Spain, &c., and of his younger brother, General Sir George Gray. That the latter were descended from Andrew Gray I have not the least doubt, but he (Andrew) was certainly a little further removed than grandfather possibly great - great - grand- father. For clearness the pedigree may be stated thus : Andrew Gray of Bullion, fifth son, died 1603. Andrew's second son Wil- liam died 1661. The latter's eldest son James- died before 24 Aug., 1694. His eldest son, Mr. James Gray of Bullion afterwards, I think, Sir James Gray of Denne Hill, parish of Kingston was born about 1649, died before 26 June, 1744. His widow (a lady
