"Taal :J ? 'The Englishman's Guide to the Speedy and Easy Acquirement of Cape Dutch (Grammar, Useful Information, Con- versation),' by Hubertus Elffers (Cape Town, J. C. Juta & Co., 1900). Some specimens of "African Dutch " appear in that interesting book 'Robert Burns in other Tongues,' by Dr. William Jacks (Glasgow, MacLehose, 1896). Mr. F. W. Reitz, when President of the Orange Free State, printed 'Vijftig Uitgesagte Afrikaanse Gedigte,' and of these three were translations or adaptations of Burns, and are quoted by Dr. Jacks. The best is 'Daantje Gouws,' a spirited version of ' Duncan Gray. 3 WILLIAM E. A. AXON. Manchester.

DUCHESS SARAH (10 th S. ii. 149, 211). As I notice that there are some slight discrepancies between the information given by me at the second reference and that contributed by MR. FRANCIS H. RELTON, I may say that my prin- cipal authority is the late Mr. G. Steinman Steinman's 'Althorp Memoirs,' privately printed, 1869, p. 50. Mr. Steinman was a distinguished genealogist, and was a con- tributor, so far back as the thirties, to the old Gentleman's Magazine. His love of accu- racy was evidenced in several of the earlier volumes of *N. & Q.,' the first article of his which I can trace being headed ' Genealogical Queries' (1 st S. v. 537). His authorities for the Jenyns or Jennings pedigree were Man- ning and Bray's 'History of Surrey,' i. 86-8, 621, 622 ; ii. 8, 9 ; and L. ii. (Coll. of Arms), f. 122, pedigree dated 7 Feb., 16 Charles II., 1673, O.S. In this pedigree John and Ralph Jennings are represented as being still alive, but there seems to be no mention of a Richard.

MR. RELTON does not mention the first marriage of Frances Jennings to George Hamilton. By this gentleman she had three daughters (1) Elizabeth, baptized at St. Mar- garet's, Westminster, 21 March, 1666/7, mar- ried 13 Jan., 1685/6, Richard, Viscount Rosse, died at St. Omer in June, 1724 ; (2) Frances, born in France, married firstly, in July, 1687, Henry, eighth Viscount Dillon, who died in 1713, and secondly Patrick, son arid heir-apparent of Sir John Bellew, Bart., of Barmeath, co. Louth, whom she survived, though the date of her death is unknown ; (3) Mary, also born in France, married Nicholas, Viscount Kings- land, died at Turvey, in the parish of Dona-


bate, co. Dublin, 15 Feb., 1735, and buried in the church of the neighbouring parish of Lusk. By her second husband, the Duke of Tyrconnel, Frances Jennings had two daughters (1) Catherine, died in childhood, 17 June, 1684 ; and (2) Charlotte, who married the Prince de Ventimiglia, of a noble family in Provence, and left issue the two daughters mentioned by MR. RELTON. The Duchess of Tyrconnel was not ninety- two, but in her eighty-third year, when she died.

KILLED BY A LOOK (10 th S. ii. 169). - Edward L, considering that the behaviour of Philip the Fair had made war with France inevitable, summoned the clergy of both provinces to meet at Westminster on 21 Sept., 1294. The king appeared in person and asked for aid. A day's adjournment was granted. On the third day they offered two-tenths for one year. The royal patience was already exhausted ; indignant at their shortsighted- ness, Edward declared they must pay half their entire revenue or be outlawed. The clergy were dismayed and terrified ; and William de Montford, Dean of St. Paul's, fell dead at the king's feet. This tragic scene was enacted in the monks' refectory. I find a reference to W. Hemingburgh, ii. 57.

"FEED THE BRUTE" (10 th S. i. 348, 416). Du Maurier's drawing will be found on p. 95 of vol. i. of his 'Society Pictures,' selected from Punch, 1891. The title is ' Experientia docet?' and the year of its appearance in Punch is given as 1885. U. V. W.

BRISTOL SLAVE SHIPS, THEIR OWNERS AND CAPTAINS (10 th S. ii. 108, 193). Has J. G. C. consulted the late John Latimer's 'Annals of Bristol,' a most admirable and exhaustive work dealing with Bristol in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries? The archives of the Bristol Merchant Venturers also might contain references to such ships, and the late Sir Walter Besant obtained a good deal of information about the slave trade in Bristol from the archives of the City of Bristol. Camden Hotten's 'List of all the Persons who either emigrated or were sent to the Plantations between the Years 1600 and 1700' might also be worth consulting. It was pub- lished by Chatto & Windus, London.
