NOTES AND QUERIES.
Quotation wanted (2 nd S. i. 252.)
" A sudden thought strikes me let us swear eternal friendship."
From the Rovers, or Double Arrangement, in the poetry of the Anti-Jacobin, a burlesque melo- drama in ridicule of the German stage of the dny. The passage quoted is not more absurd than the original in Stella, an early tragedy of Goethe's :
"Stella. Madame! Da fabrt mir ein Gedanke durch den Kopf wir wollen beisammen bleiben ! Thre Hand ! Von diesem Augenblich an lass' ich Sie nicht ! "

Scottish Pasquils (2 nd S. i. 220.) As your cor- respondent MR. MARKLAND is desirous of having a note of the particulars respecting Part III. of this collection, I have much pleasure in sending this in reply to his inquiry.
Part III., title A Third Book of Scottish Pas- quils, Sfc., Edinburgh, 1828, prefatory notices, pp. iii. to xiv. ; Pasquils, 21 ; Minor Satirical Verses, 8., extending to p. 93. The editor (Mr. Maidment, Advocate), in the " Prefatory Notice," intimates that,
"When ihe first book of Pasquils was preparing for the press, it was not supposed that materials could have been provided to have made a second; but by the kindness of various individuals who take an interest in these matters, and by the unexpected discovery of several manuscripts, not only was the editor so successful as to collect a second book, but he has been enabled to produce a third one, fully as entertaining as either of its predecessors."
He farther remarks that,
" It is to Sir James Balfour that the reader is indebted for the more valuable portion of the present volume. These Pasquils have now, for the first time, been printed from the original manuscripts."
Each volume is considered to be complete in itself, although forming now a series of three. A copy of vol. iii. I find can be had from a book- seller here for 10s. 6d. T. G. S.

Appropriators and Impropriators (2 nd S. i. 173. 282.) P. S. is perfectly right in his conjecture respecting the use of these terms. For authorities confirming his opinion, he is referred to Johnsons Dictionary, Hook's Church Dictionary, The Cleri- cal Directory, and the lleturns of the Tithe Com- missioners. In the latter the columns, indicating the mode of dividing tithe-rent charges, are ex- pressly headed, '\To Clerical Appropriators and their Lessees," " To Parochial Incumbents," and " To Lay Impropriators."

St. Apollonias Teeth (2 nd S. i. 213.) Keight- ley, History of England, p. 379. (2nd edition),
says :
" The teeth of St. Apollonia, which cured the tooth- ache, were so multiplied, that when collected they filled a tun."

Clint (1 st S. xii. 406. ; 2 nd S. i. 139. 203.) A few miles above Richmond, Yorkshire, on the Swale, not many years since was dints House. It stood on a level of no great extent, beneath a rocky ledge, and above a rapidly descending bank, at the bottom of which runs a beck.
To the north-west of the village of Bowes, in Yorkshire, stands a farm house named Clint. It stands on the brow of a hill. D.

Synonym for being hanged (2 nd S. i. 272.) " He was stabbed by a Bridport dagger," is used in the same sense as the phrase quoted by HENRY KEN- SINGTON, and originated from the quantity of hemp which was formerly grown in that part of the county of Dorset. May not Beilby be the name of some renowned Jack Ketch ?
