outh, couthy, nearly allied to _cuth_, notus (see _couth_
(could), _uncouth_, _unketh_, in Richardson; and _coudy_, _uncoudy_, in
Jamieson). Lye has "_Uncwid_, solitary; whence, perhaps, the not entirely
obsolete _unkid_." Grose also tells us that, in the north, _uncuffs_ and
_uncuds_ mean news. It is very plain that these are all the same word,
differently written and applied.

_To split Paper_ (Vol. viii., p. 413.).--

"Procure two rollers or cylinders of glass, amber, resin, or metallic
amalgam; strongly excite them by the well known means so as to produce
the attraction of cohesion, and then, with pressure, pass the paper
between the rollers; one half will adhere to the under roller, and the
other to the upper roller; then cease the excitation, and remove each
part."--From the _Civil Engineer and Architect's Journal_.

_La Fleur des Saints_ (Vol. viii., p. 410.).--The work which Moliere
intended was in all probability the French translation of a Spanish work
entitled _Flos Sanctorum_. The author of it was Alonso de Villegas. It was
first printed at Toledo in 1591, and an English version appeared at Douay
in 1615. Some idea of the contents may be gathered from the following
title: _Flos Sanctorum, Historia General de la Vida, y Hechos de Jesu
Christo Dios y Senor nuestro; y de todos los Santos, de que reza, y haze
fiesta la Iglesia Catolica, &c._ My copy is the Madrid edition of 1653.

St. Catharine's Hall, Cambridge.

_Dr. Butler and St. Edmund's Bury_ (Vol. viii., p. 125.).--Could this have
been Dr. William Butler, of eccentric memory, born at Ipswich about 1535,
and buried in St. Mary's Church, Cambridge, 1618?

_Major Andre_ (Vol. viii., p. 174.).--Two nephews of Major Andre, sons of
his sister, Mrs. Mills, are resident in Norwich, both being surgeons there.
Perhaps, on application, your correspondent SERVIENS would be able to
obtain from them some serviceable information regarding this unfortunate
officer.

_Wooden Tombs and Effigies_ (Vol. viii., p. 255.).--In the church of
Chew-Magna, co. Somerset, is the effigy of Sir John Hautville, cut (says
Collinson, vol. ii. p. 100.) in one solid piece of Irish oak. He lies on
his left side, resting on his hip and elbow, the left hand supporting his
head. The figure is in armour, with a red loose coat without sleeves over
it, a girdle and buckle, oblong shield, helmet, a
