RECTORS OF SUTTON COLDFIELD, WARWICK SHIRE (9 th S. vi. 388, 458\ John Burges educated at St. John's College, Cambridge M.D. Leyden, Rector of Sutton Coldfielc (1617), Prebendary of Lichfield (1625), "an honest man and a scholar," is perhaps besi known by his able answer (1631) to Dr William Ames's reply (1622) to Bishop Thomaj Morton's * Defence of the Three Innocenl Ceremonies' (1617). Burges's sister Ann married John White, the "Patriarch of Dorchester," who on the publication of this treatise by his "wives Brother" "seriously recommended " it to his Dorset friends, endeavouring his utmost "to put one oi those Bookes into the hands of every one oi the Clergy," and " prevailed with Master Archdeacon Fitzherbert to recommend the Booke." Burgesdiedin 1635, aged seventy-four, and was succeeded as rector by the commenta- tor Anthony Burgesse, who was not i-elated to him (v. ' Reliquiae Baxterianse '). Dr. Cornelius Burges, sometime Chaplain in Ordinary to Charles I., and in 1643 White's colleague in presiding over the Westminster Assembly, was a native of Batcombe, Somerset, and a brother of John Burges. Their father was John Burges, but whether of Sutton Cold- field I do not know. The " Patriarch of Dor- chester " was an ancestor of John Wesley.

"PHILOSCRIBLERIUS" (9 th S. vi. 490). This was James Moore Smith's pseudonym in the Daily Journal in 1728.

THE BELLMAN (9 th S. vi. 350, 417, 471). In the parish register of Folkestone occurs the following burial: "1783. Oct. 30. Gibeon Ladd, Bellman for the Night." R. J. F.
"LANTED ALE" (9 th S. vi. 367, 411, 493). The medicinal virtue of urine having cropped up under this head, its use as a cosmetic may also be noted. An old man in my native village who followed the unsavoury occupa- tion of a "muck-major" that is, collecting horse-dung from the roads had, at seventy years of age, hands as smooth and soft as any lady's, and he attributed this to the fact that he washed them every day in his own urine.

ARRAND AND DARRAND (9 th S. vi. 449). I send the following, not as an answer, but to
help C. C. B. in his inquiry. Mr. J. L. Chester
gave a pedigree of the D'Aranda family in
the Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica,
vol. i., N.S., p. 83, and said, "It was un-
doubtedly of French origin, although the
later members of it appear to have given the
name a Spanish termination." The first entry
is Rev. Elie D'Arande, minister of the French
Church at Southampton, 1633. The name
may be derived from some locality in France,
or the family, before they resided in that
country, may have come from Aranda in
Spain. JOHN RADCLIFFE.
SIMON FRASER (8 th S. x. 156, 223 : 9 th S. vi. 157, 338, 433 ; vii. 16, 51). May I be per- mitted to supplement what was said ante, p. 16? The original of the portrait in the
- Table Book ' was a half-length from the oil
painting by Hogarth done at St. Albans. As mentioned in the ' Table Book,' there was a second likeness of Lovat, a full -length etched by Hogarth, and in this will be noticed the difference, as to the position of the buttonholes of the coat, and also that the satirical insignia are wanting. This portrait may be seen at p. 552, book ix., vol. iv., of Knight's 'Pictorial History of England,' and underneath it are the following words : "Lord Lovat. From a drawing made by Hogarth the morning before his lordship's execution." FRANCIS W. JACKSON.
I am aware that Hogarth painted Simon, Lord Lovat, but I am not aware of any artist or engraver who has ever put on paper or canvas Simon Fraser, eldest son of Lord Lovat, colonel of the 78th Highlanders, who fought at Quebec, 1759-60. This pic- ture is wanted for historical purposes, and
- he print shops and galleries of the world
have been searched for it in vain. Pictures or prints of Thomas Carleton, the first Governor of New Brunswick, and Brigadier- 3eneral Cornwallis, the first Governor of STova Scotia, are also wanted for the same purpose. The Governments of Nova Scotia ind New Brunswick will give a good price 'or any or all of these pictures.

CORPSE ON SHIPBOARD (9 th S. vi. 246, 313, J74, 437, 492). The fleet was polluted with he presence of the unburied body. I feel ure that I never said anything contrary to his, but I have not the number of ' N. & Q.' vhich contains my first answer. It was lecessary that the dead body should be iuried with proper ceremony before ^Eneas isited the infernal regions, otherwise the
