The Duc de Gontaut was Lieutenant-General of the armies of the Kirég and Governor of Languedoc. He marri (21 Jan., 1744) Antoinette Eustachie Crozat du Chatel. She died 16 April, 1747. He was living 1774. Duc de Chabot.-I think this must mean Louis Marie Bretagne Domini ue de Rohan- Chabot, Duc de Roh mn, born 17 Jan., 1710, who married, secondly, lilmilie de Crusol, sister of the Duc d’Uzes. Duc de Vauguyon.-Antoine Paul Jacques de Quelen de Stuer de Caussade, Duc de Lavauguyon, Prince de Carency. He was Gouverneur of the Duc de Bourgogne, eldest son of the Dauphin, and afterwards of the princes who became Louis XVI., Louis XVIII., and Charles X. ; he married (23 March, 17343 Marie Fran oise de Bethune-Charost, secon daughter of? the Duc de Bethune, and died 4 Feb., 1772. He was son of Nicholas de Quelen, &c., by Madeleine de Bourbon, daughter of Louis de Bourbon, Comte de Busset (an illegitimate branch descending from Louis de urbon, Bishop of Liege, see ‘ Quentin Durward ’). ii. de Schomberg. - Charles, Comte de Schomberg, a friend of Voltaire and D’Alem- bert, was a grandson (l bg an illegitimate son) of Charles, Duke of Sc omber (a different family from the Duke of Schomber killed at the Boyne Water), who, again, was flie grand- nephew of Georges de Schomberg, who was kil ed with Quélus and Maugiron in 1578 at the Combat des Mignons (see ‘Mémoires de Henri III.’ and De Thou; A. Dumas, ‘La Dame de Montsoreau ’). Princesse de Poix.-Anne Louise Marie de Beauvau, born 1 A§ril, 1750, only daughter of Charles Just de eauvau, Prince de Craon, bg' Marie Sophie de la Tour d’Auverne, sister o the Duc de Bouillon. The princess was first cousin to Mesdames de Cambis and de Caraman. She married (9 Sept. 1767)Philippe Louis Marie Antoine de N oailles, Prince de Poix, son of Philip de Noailles, Maréchal de France, by Anne Clgudine Louised’Arpajon. My authorities are, princi all , ‘Diction- naire de la Noblesse,’ by De la Chenaye des Bois; ‘Le Grand Dictionnaire Historique’; ‘ Le Grand Dictionnaire Universel’; also various biographical dictionaries, . O. LATIN QUOTATION (9'»’° S. v. 496).-The words “ Procul dubio, non est facbus mundus in tempore sed cum tempore,” are to be found in St. Aulgustinds great work entitled ‘De Civitate ei,’ lib. xi. cap. vi. If the querist is, as I conjecture, interested in a very im- portant question, he will be pleased to see the following quotation from St. Ambrose in reference to the same subject: “In principio tem poris, Deus caelum et terram fecit. Tempus enim ab hoc mundo, non ante mundum ” (‘ Hexzemer. ’ lib. i. cap. vi.). To show what value should be attached to the latter father’s opinion, I hope I may be permitted to quote the splendid eulogium pronounced on him by St. Augustine :- “ Sed adhuc audi alium excellentem Dei dispensa- torem, quem veneror ut patrem: in Christo enim Jesu per Evangelium ipse me genuit, et eo Christi ministro lavacrum regenerationisaccepi ; beatuxn loquor Ambrosium.”- Contra J ulia.n.,’ cap. vu. Joss T. CURRY. “CROW'DY-MUTTON” (9°*‘ S. v. 375, 461 ; vi. 37).-My authority for the Devon use of “crowdy” is Pulman’s ‘Sketches,’ 1842 (see ed. 1871, p. 89). “ Crowdy ” has the meaning of a turnover pie, usually of apples, in Kena Sussex, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, an Somerset. For authorities see ‘ E.D.D.’ A. L. MAYHEW. Oxford. EXTENT or ST. MARTIN’S PARISH (9°“ S. v. 397, 479; vi. 36).--I find that I have inad- vertently given Horace Wal ole’s mention of St. Martin’s parish under tllie year 1776 in- stead of 1774. It occurs in his letter to Mann of 4 Feb., 1774 (Cunningham’s edition, vol. vi. pp. 57-8) :- “ I think I have heard of such a form in law, as such an one of the rish of St. Martin’s-in-the- Fields in Asia : St. ltfalt-in’s parish literally reaches now to the other end of the g obe,” &.c. Could Q. V. ive me information as to whether such a fsorm in law ever existed in connexion with the parish of St. Martin’s-in- the-Fields? H. T. B. “ HUnnY”=STA1TH (9“‘ S. v. 107, 2178.- With the place-names mentioned at the ast reference, cf. Burton-stather, F lixborough- stather, Ferry-staithe, all names of places on the Trent. C. C. B. ROYAL Anus, ELIZABETH AND EDWARD VI. (9"‘ S. v. 436, 502).-MR. R. F.-J. SAWYl$ though in the main correct, has so express his letter that it may be taken to mean a uite incorrect statement, and possibly MR. §AWYER himself meant other than his etter reads. Arms are not granted to each sove- reign. Who is to grant them? The sovereign is the fountain of honour. The soverei n simply issues a warrant declaring what the arms are, and commanding the warrant to be recorded in the College of Arms; but the
