CLAY BALLS AS CHRISTMAS COLLECTING BOXES. Peter Mundy, a Cornishman, in describing some Portuguese sports that he saw at Macao in 1637, says that the com- petitors used " little round hollow empty earthen halffe baked balles .... beeing like to such as are made For servauntts to gather Mony att Christmas etts. festi vails."
Can any reader inform me whether such collecting boxes were peculiar to Cornwall (Mundy was born at Penryn), and whether there is any record substantiating Mundy 's statement ? I have failed to find any trace of the custom. R. C. TEMPLE.
GOLDSWORTHY AS A PLACE-NAME. In
continuation of my inquiries regarding the Gokisworthy family (see 12 S. iv. 185, 228, 258), I am advised that there is also a place- name " Goldsworthy," and I ask for any information from your readers on this point. I shall take pleasure in replying direct.
JOHN GOLDSWORTHY ADAMS.
49 Fort Greene Place, Brooklyn, New York.
[Bartholomew's ' Gazetteer of the British Isles ' states that there is a tithing named Goldsworth in the parish of Woking, six miles north of Guildford, in Surrey.]
BOROUGH COURTS : " JUR DE LA VILE."
Can any of your readers inform me what exactly is meant by " jur de la vile " ? The phrase occurs in accounts of the legal procedure of borough courts. A defendant, unless he is a foreigner, is entitled to an adjournment to this "town day" after his appearance to answer his summons. Was it the 'regular weekly meeting of the borough court, or has it some special significance ?

VAUVENARGUES : "LA CLARTE EST LA
BONNE FOI DES PHILOSOPHES." Schopen-
hauer in his 'Fourfold Root of Sufficient Reason ' (chap. i. 3) attributes to Vauve- nargues the following epigram : " La clarte est la bonne foi des philosophes." But I cannot find it in the works of the Frenchman. Schopenhauer may have com- pounded it from recollections of nos. 4 and 5 of Vauvenargues' * Reflexions et Maximes ' : 4 * L ? clar *e orne les pensees profondes." 5. " L'obscurite est le royaume de 1'erreur." But, if Schopenhauer really quoted from Vauvenargues, perhaps some reader can give the exact reference. W M T

S. T. COLERIDGE ON IMMORTALITY. The
Rev. Samuel Minton, on the title-page of his
- Unworthy of Eternal Life ' (in reply to
Canon Liddon), quotes from S. T. C. without a reference :
" I am confident that the doctrine [of conditional immortality] would be a far stronger motive than the present : for, no man will believe eternal misery of himself, but millions would admit that if they did not amend their lives they would be undeserving of living for ever." Can any reader of * N. & Q.' supply the reference ? It is probably to some letter or conversation. I cannot find it in S. T. C.'s ' Works.' W. M. T.
