"THE URIANI."—In 'Transcaucasia,1 bj Baron von Haxthausen (1854), there is, 01 p. 140, an account of a sect of Jewisl Christians, or Christian Jews, named Uriani who are said to acknowledge Christ as th< Messiah whilst retaining the usages of tin Mosaic law. They have no knowledge, it i: said, of the New Testament, but assert thi existence of a book by Longinus, or at least a transcript of it, containing the teachings o the Saviour, which book they say is pre served with great secrecy. Is this account to be trusted ? and, if so, i there still any trace of such a sect? The locality assigned to them is the district o; Derbend. C. LAWRENCE FORD. Bath. "LAYING": " TERING." — The church- wardens' accounts of North Wraxall, Chip- penham, for 1756 contain a payment of half- a-crown for " laying a fast book and pro- clamation." In 1765, just before the bell is taken down to be recast, l. 14«. is entered "for new terinff the bell." Can any one explain "laying " and " tering"? F. H. CAMPBELLS IN THE STRAND. — Can any reader state who the Campbell was of Middle- ton & Campbell, goldsmiths, 1692, and who the Campbell was of Campbell <fc Coutts, bankers, 1755? Both firms conducted their business at the sign of the "Three Crowns," near Durham Yard. W. M. GRAHAM EASTON. TIMOTHY BUCK was elected to Trinity College, Cambridge, from Westminster School in 1748, agea eighteen, but his name does not appear in the Trinity admissions. I should be glad to obtain particulars of his career, and the date of his death. Q. F. R. B. HUTTON: HEPBURN: LIDDERDALE.—Would any readers of ' N. & Q.' tell me if the Huttons of that ilk came over with William the Conqueror, and where I could find their pedigree from that time? My father was a Hutton of that ilk ; and my great-great- grandfather died at Berwick at the age of 100. Into which branch of Robertsons of Struan did Thomas Hutton marry in 1802'! His wife was Janet Robertson, who had a brother Alexander. The maiden name of Janet's mother was Urquhart. I should like to trace her family. I should also like to learn about the family Hepburn. One daughter married Thomas (or James) Lidderdale. of Castle Milk. They had one daughter, Maria. I possess their portraits. A Miss Fullerton, of Aberdeen, married James Lidderdale : she would be my great-great-grandmother. I should also like to find her people. She died 25 August, 1772. Please reply direct. (Mrs.) E. C.

FULHAM BRIDGE.—I shall be glad if any one can give me the name of the artist and engraver of coloured print entitled ' A View of Fulham Bridge and Putney—La Veue du Pout de Fulham regardant Putney.' From the costume of the people represented, it appears to have been executed in the last quarter of the eighteenth century. HERBERT SOUTHAM. " JAN KEES."—In Dr. Jespersen's ' Growth and Structure of the English Language' (1905), p. 187, it is stated that "JanKees" is a nickname applied in Flanders to people From Holland proper. Was this nickname ever applied to the inhabitants of the Dutch colonies in North America (New Amsterdam, New York, <fec.)? I ask this question Because Dr. H. Logeman has suggested that "Jan K«es'J is the origin of the well-known
- erm " Yankee." What is the etymology of
the word Kees 1 A. L. MAYHEW. Oxford.
