ST. CLEMENT THE POPE AND WYRE- MONGERS (11 S. iv. 147). The association of St. Clement with an anchor as an instru- ment of martyrdom has led to his being chosen as patron of the successors of Tubal Cain, " an instructor [or whetter] of every
giovanetto
artificer in brass and iron." It was at one-
time the custom to celebrate St. Clement's
Day in Woolwich Dockyard by a procession in
which honour was done to an apprentice
got up to represent " Old Clem," much
begging, drinking, and speechifying being
connected with the observance.
ST. S WITHIN.
The following information may be inter- esting. According to Mueller and Mothes's well-known dictionary, in the old German and Northern calendar winter began with St. Clement's Day, which was marked with an anchor as on that day all ships had to remain in port. Clement is the patron saint of sailors. L. L. K..
WASHINGTON I HYING' s ' SKETCH-BOOK * (11 S. iv. 109, 129, 148, 156). The song referred to by MB. BALSTON in No. 27 of his quotations,
An old song made by an aged old pate, has the concluding words of the first line annotated by the late W. H. Wills as follows : " The owner of which has never been dis- covered " (' Poets' Wit and Humour,' p. 16)*

40. The sarcophagus of Nekht Heru Hebt (circa B.C. 378), now at the British Museum, was formerly identified by Dr. Edward Daniel Clarke as " the tomb of Alexander." See ' A Dissertation ' by him 1805 ; also Monthly Magazine, February and August, 1804 ; Gent. Mag., April, 1822. ALECK ABRAHAMS.
"GIFLA": "FJERPINGA" (11 S. iv. 43, 133). May I suggest to MR. BROWNBILL that the side-note in the oldest copy of the ' Tribal Hidage ' is not conclusive evidence ? If the annotator had had first-hand know- ledge of Faorpinga, he would have known the neighbouring districts also, and would have annotated all or none. Probably he had read Bede's ' Hist. Eccles.,' and assumed that Fserpinga was the same as Feppingum,. the death-place of Bishop Diuma (Bk. III. c. xxi). Whether his assumption was right or wrong, I am unable to judge ; but it is evident that, even at the early date of this annotation, the ' Tribal Hidage ' was already a mystery and a subject of research.
A. MORLEY DAVIES,
LUDLOW CASTLE (11 S. iv. 150). It is probable that the order made in the reign of George I. for the unroofing of the Castle, though it did not begin the decay of the building, yet greatly expedited /it. The
