BOWES CASTLE, YORKSHIRE (10 th S. iv. 288 v. 116, 176, 235). 'Edwin and Emma' is th title of Mallet's ballad. Prior's version o
- The Nut-brown Maid ' is called 4 Henry an
Emma.' E. YARDLEY.
The castle was built by Henry II. in 1187 and cost him 353. (from the Pipe Rolls ; see General Harrison's * History of Yorks.').
HELMER.
One would like to hear more about William de Arcubus from Brittany. We had a family of De Arches, and it is well to remember tha the arch in masonry, and archery of a bow both come from the Latin arcus. A. H.
GOLDSMITH: VARIOUS BEADING IN 'THE TRAVELLER' (10 th S. v. 167). The version in my two copies is :
Whatever fruits in different climes are found.
The first is edited by Dr. Aikin and pub- blished in 1796 ; the second is printed by C. Whittingham, Chiswick, 1822.

"MucKiBUs" (10 th S. v. 187). There was not much in the way of Latin at ray first school, but the boys had a habit of adding "bus" to a number of words, and " mucki- bus ; ' was one which meant being tired and hot with play, as " I 'm muckibus." " I 'm peckibus " was for hungry; "drinkibus," thirsty ; " happybus," comfortable ; and so on. THOS. HATCLIFFE.

AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED (10 th S. v. 248).-
To see the children sporting on the shore, &c. These two lines, slightly misquoted by Hazlitt, are from Wordsworth's beautiful
- Ode on Intimations of Immortality.'
S. BUTTERWORTH. Because my wine was of too poor a savour.
Keats, * Epistle to C. Cowden Clark,' 1. 25. The old house by the lindens stood.
Longfellow, 'The Open Window.' H. K. St. J. S. [Several correspondents thanked for references.]
RICHARD KIRBY, ARCHITECT (10 th S. v. 147, 232). Is not MR. HEBB mistaken in saying in his reply that the painted window in Mounthaut or Hill Hall, Essex, is " given as frontispiece in colours to Knight's 'Old Eng- land " ? In my copy of 4 Old England ' the
coloured frontispiece of vol. i. is described
(p. iii) as ** Painted Window of Saxon and
Norman Earls of Chester." The window is
said to have been in Brereton Hall, Cheshire,
and to have been removed, some years before
1845, to Aston Hall, Warwickshire.
The coloured title is described (p. v) as
"Morris Dance formerly in the house of
James Tollett, Esq., of Betley " (Stafford- shire). It is not stated where the window went from Betley. Neither the frontis- piece nor the title of vol. ii. represents a window. ROBERT PIERPOINT.
There is a slight mistake in MR. HEBB'S reply. Strype's ' Life of Sir Thomas Smith ' is in one volume. I have before me a copy of it, and from it I quoted in these pages two or three weeks ago. JOHN T. CURRY.
HOLBORN (10 th S. ii. 308, 392, 457, 493; iii. 56, 234). The evidence of our early topographical writers, Stow, Camden, and Munday, seem to point to the fact that this place-name is an aspirated corruption of Old Bourne (burn, brook, or stream). I have just come across an early proof of its origin n a writer esteemed for his general accuracy. Anthony Munday, in his * Briefe Chronicle of the Successe of Times,' pub- ished by Wm. Jaggard, 1611, 8vo (p. 548), writes :
"Oldbourne Bridge, so called [because] of a Bourne which sometime ran down Oldbourne " ;
and at p. 549 :
The Conduit at Old-bourne Crosse about 1498, and made new againe by Master William Lambe, 577, with an help also at Old-bourne Bridge."
'n face of this venerable and unmistakable description I hardly see how holl or hole an be further considered.

FLEET STREET CHANGES (10 th S. v. 227). t seems a pity that the old name of Three 'alcon Court, which is found in ' London iurvey'd ; or, an Explanation of the Large lap of London by John Ogilby and William lorgan,' 1677, should have been changed for pparently no reason whatever. I doubt if he name had any connexion with the sign f u The Falcon." Falcon Court was ituated on the south side of the street, etween Mitre Court and Bolt and Tun Uourt; and perhaps in Mr. F. G. Hilton Vice's list we should read Bolt and Tun Court or Bolt Court, which also derived its name om the old tavern on the opposite side of lie street.
Three Falcon Court was, I think, originally
