answer the Query, which is the right ascription? When Mr. Collins alluded
to the fate of Bishop Hippo, devoured by rats, I presume he means Bishop
Hatto, commemorated in the "Legends of the Rhine."

Norton Hall, Feb. 14. 1851.

_Dr. Dodd._--On the 13th February, 1775, Dr. Dodd was inducted to the
vicarage of Wing, Bucks, on the presentation of the Earl of Chesterfield.
On the 8th February, 1777, he was arrested for forging the Earl's bond. Dr.
Dodd never resided at Wing; but, during the short period he held the
living, he preached there four times. The tradition of the parish is, that
on those occasions he preached from the following texts; all of them
remarkable, and the second and fourth especially so with reference to the
subsequent fate of the unhappy man, whose feelings they may reasonably be
supposed to embody.

The texts are as follows:--

1 _Corinthians_ xvi. 22. "If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ,
let him be Anathema Maran-atha."

_Micah_ vii. 8. "Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy; when I fall, I
shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto
me."

_Psalm_ cxxxix. 1, 2. "O Lord, thou hast searched me and known me. Thou
knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising, thou understandest my
thought afar off."

_Deuteronomy_ xxviii. 65, 66, 67. "And among these nations thou shalt
find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest; but the
Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and
sorrow of mind: and thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou
shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: In
the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou
shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart
wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou
shalt see."

Q. D.

_Hats of Cardinals and Notaries Apostolic_ (Vol. iii. p. 169.).--An
instance occurs in a MS. in this college (L. 10. p. 60.) circa temp. Hen.
VIII., of the arms of "Doctor Willm. Haryngton, prothonotaire apostolik,"
ensigned with a black hat, having three tassels pendant on each side: these
appendages, however, are somewhat different to those attached to the
Cardinal's hat, the cords or strings not being _fretty_. I have seen
somewhere a series of arms having the same insignia; but, at present, I
cannot say where.
