292 NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 S.IX.OOT. 8,1021. has changed hands, having been bought by a co-operative society. Two copies of its history were printed about 1885, but they have been lost. Any items will be greatly appreciated. RONALD D. WHITTENBUBY-KAYE. Newchurch, Culcheth, near Warrington. THE GOVERNOR OF K. CAROLINA AND THE GOVERNOR OF S. CAROLINA. I have seen more than one reference in current journalism to " what the Governor of North Carolina said to the Governor of South Carolina." I should be glad to know the origin and meaning of the allusion. H. J. AYLIFFE. 17, Wyndham Street, Brighton. FRANKLYN FAMILY OF WROUGHTON, WILTS. I should be glad to know when the name of this family first occurs at Wroughton. Giles Franklyn was there in 1623, and the family can be traced down to 1719 by the ledger stones in the church, with the following arms : Upon a bend between two dolphins naiant embowed, three lions' heads erased. Tinctures not expressed. Thomas Franklin of Wroughton mar- ried, May 5, 1719, Sarah, daughter of the Rev. Farewell Perry, M.A., rector of Marl- borough, Wilts, in 1684, and canon of Salis- bury. Any information will be gratefully received. ' LEONARD C. PRICE. Essex Lodge, Ewell. BATHURST FAMILY OF CLARENDON PARK, WILTS. Peter Bathurst, of Clarendon Park, who died April 25, 1748, married twice : first, Leonora Maria, daughter and heiress of Charles How of Grytworth, Northampton- shire, by whom he had two daughters ; and, secondly, Lady Selina Shirley, daughter of Robert, Earl Ferrers, by whom he had five sons and ten daughters. Whom did the twelve daughters marry ? Any informa- tion will be gratefully received. LEONARD C. PRICE. Essex Lodge, Ewell. SHOCK AND PAIN. It seems to be generally believed that a person badly mauled by a lion does not feel pain or fear at the time. This may be based on Dr. Livingstone's experience related by him in his Life (p. 40, of my edition). It is true that persons suffering from " shock " due to a bad acci- dent do not feel pain, so the popular belief may be true. I should be glad of information for or against the belief. ALFRED S. E. ACKERMANN. " HELL, HULL AND HALIFAX." What is, or was, the reason for the request to be delivered from " Hell, Hull and Halifax " ? ALFRED S. E. ACKERMANN. [Our correspondent will find some light on the subject at 8 S. viii. 410, and ix. 92, under ' Halifax Law 'j. REV. E. DAVIES, POET.- This bardic muse composed ' Blaise Castle : a Pro- spective Poem' (4to, Bristol, 1783). Par- ticulars about career, other compositions, if any, and assigned birth and death dates would be esteemed. ANEURIN WILLIAMS. Menai View, North Road, Carnarvon. THE MUSIC-HALL GRIFFITHS. The names of these entertainers come before the public at intervals as music-hall performers and celebrities. I should be glad to have particulars of their biography. ANEURIN WILLIAMS. Menai View, North Road, Carnarvon. SAMBATYON. I shall be grateful if any reader can give me some information about the River Sambatyon " a river not on any map, a peculiarity of which is that it ceases to flow on the Sabbath, wherefore it is highly regarded by all pious Jews " (John Cournos : ' The Mask,' p. 41). WTiat is the origin of the word ' Sam- batyon ' ? Is it connected with nasalized forms of the word " Sabbath " ? (Cf. Rumanian sdmbdtd, Abyssinian sambata, Mod. Pers. samba.} Does it throw any light on the presence of these nasalized | forms in European languages like French, German and Rumanian ? S. J. C. DRAYTON ON WHITBY JET. The following lines are from Drayton's ' Poly-Olbion ' : " The rocks by Moultgrave too my glories forth to set Out of their crannied cleves can give you perfect jet." They are sometimes quoted with slight varia- tion. I shall be greatly obliged if some one who has access to tliis book will give me the exact words and spelling. T. H. W. Whitby. [In the 1876 edition of Drayton's 'Works' (Library of Old Authors John Russell Smith) the lines are given thus : "The rocks by Moultgrave too, my glories forth to set, Out of their crannied cleeves, can give you perfect jet."J AUTHOR WANTED. Who wrote the verses on Patience as the solver of difficulties in which the following line, or something similar, occurs : " While Patience, waiting, did the work of all " ? A. T.
