'Pallia fresonica.' I find that a similar
account is given in Zambaldi, * Vocabolario
Etimologico Italiano,' s.v. 'Fregio.'

Apart from " cloth of frieze," what is the origin of Friso, a personal name in the royal family of Holland, and the eponymous ancestor of Friesland ? We have various mythical persons, as Frey, Freyja, and a Frisco ; but Friso seems to stand apart.
ABSENS.
GYE FAMILY (9 th S. ix. 387). I cannot say who Gye of the Cellar was, but I would point out what may be helpful that the arms stated to have been borne by him are identical with those at present used by Guy's Hospital.
I perhaps ought to add that the leopards' heads wear antique crowns, and the motto is " Dare quam accipere." MISTLETOE.
BISHOP SANDERSON'S DESCENDANTS (9 th S. ix. 448). Mrs. Fare's father was a member of a family of Sanderson which was settled at Little Addington, Northants at any rate, in the seventeenth century and later. See the memorial inscriptions in the parish church, as given in Bridges and Whalley's ' North- amptonshire,' ii. 208. The earliest of these inscriptions relates to " Clariss. Dom. Johan. Sanderson, Armig. & Juriscons.," who died 14 January, 1672. The advowson of Little Addington vicarage belonged to this family. Anthony Sanderson (sometime fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, S.T.P. 1700) became vicar in 1720. His successors include John Sanderson (1737/8), William Sanderson (1770), Thomas Sanderson (1813). The above information may possibly help MR. CROUCH to ascertain whether Mrs. Pare was really a descendant of the bishop. H. C.
There is some account of the family of Saundersonof Addington in Northamptonshire Notes and Queries, i. 113-6. It is there stated that the Addington branch was connected with the Blyth branch, to which the bishop belonged, but was not descended from him, at least in the male line. Numerous refer- ences are given to printed pedigrees. There does not appear, according to the account I refer to, to have been any Rev. J. Saunderson at Addington who can have been father to Mrs. Pare, who must have been born about 1731 or 1732. W. D. SWEETING.

KNURR AND SPELL (9 th S. ix. 385, 452) - Knurr and spell may have escaped the dic- tionaries, but it has been caught in the net
of ' N. & Q.' ; see 3 rd S. vi. 168, 235 (' Nurr ') ;
4 th S. i. 294, 325, 468 ; 5 th S. i. 348 ; ii. 133.
It is entered in Halliwell, and in Addy's
'Sheffield Glossary.' In East Yorkshire it
was known as "dab and trigger," and the
implements were articles of trade, and could
be bought at all toy-shops. I have played
at it many times about 1855-60. Tip-cat is
a humbler and more economical form of the
same game. W. C. B.
Surely " knurr " comes from the old English word knar, a knot in wood, and "spell," a turn of occupation, A.-S. speljan (vide Kluge, s.v.). In Australia a " spell " always means a turn of rest as contrasted with a term of work. H. A. STRONG.

LADY NAIRNE'S JACOBITE SONGS (9 th S. ix. 401). For certain family reasons among others, the note of MR. BAYNE is of consider- able interest to me, and so, perhaps, you will allow me to place on record the following use of the lyric ' Will ye no come back again ? '-
"Prolonged cheering greeted General Sir Ian Hamilton (presiding at the annual general meeting of the Scottish Clans' Association of London, in the Crown Room, Holborn Restaurant, 24 July, 1901) when he rose to respond. He said that Lady Hamilton and he had enjoyed one of the happiest evenings of their lives among their fellow-High- landers, and were now thanked for it. This, he said, was just like the Highlanders. He himself was proud of being a Highlander. He had been born in the cradle of a Highland regiment, and was always glad to come and feel at home with High- landers. Voice from the centre of the hall : 'Will ye no come back again ? ' The General : MR ith the greatest of pleasure ' (hearty applause), &c.
With reference to what MR. BAYNE says about the version of ' Charlie is my Darling, by Capt. Charles Gray, which appeared in G F. Graham's ' Songs of Scotland ' (vol. i. p. 91) in 1849, it may be that it "has been forgotten" generally; but it seems well to note that it was also previously published in 1841 at Edinburgh in 'Lays and Lyrics. This, I believe, was also pointed out by Dr. Charles Rogers in his ' Life and bongs of the Baroness Nairne.'
It may be of some interest to the few who are not aware of it that, in addition to the portrait of Lady Nairne which forms the frontispiece of Dr. Rogers's book four por- traits-entitled respectively 'Lady Nairne and her Son,' 'Lord Nairne before his Re- storation,' 'Caroline, Baroness Nairne. M* Oliphant of Gask,' and ' William Murray, last Lord Nairne '-appear in the very brief volume entitled " The . Scottish Songstress Caroline, Baroness Nairne, by her Great- grand-niece" (Margaret Stewart Simpson),
