ustice Newton, _of the Middle Temple_," plainly proves that he could
not have been a judge upon the Bench at Westminster. He may perhaps have
been a Welsh judge; or, remembering that "Mr. Justice" was the common title
for a Justice of the Peace, it is still more probable that he was merely a
magistrate of the county in which he resided.

_Manners of the Irish_ (Vol. viii., p. 5.).--In the very curious extract
given by your correspondent H., _boyranne_ is very likely to stand for
_borbhan_, the Irish for "lamentation" or "complaint." An Irish landlord
knows full well that, even up to the present day, his tenants "keep the
bread, and make _borbhan_." _Molchan_, I suspect, comes from _miolc_, whey.
_Localran_ stands for _loisgrean_, corn turned out of the ear. As to the
concluding line of the extract, I must leave it to some better Irish
scholar than I can boast myself.

"I am the geyest mayed of all that brought the somer houme,"

plainly has reference to the old practice, still prevalent in some parts of
Ireland on May-day, when young girls carry about a figure dressed as a
baby, singing the Irish song, [Irish: thugamar fein an samhra linn], "We
have brought the summer with us" (See _Transactions of the Kilkenny
Archaeological Society_). _Ultagh_ (_Ultach_) is Irish for an Ulster man,
as H. will see by consulting any Irish dictionary, and can have no
connexion with Utlagh, the Kilkenny money-lender. _Ugteller_ is of course a
misprint for _Kyteller_. Would that H. would give us his real name and
address, or at least allow me to ask whether H. F. H. do not constitute his
initials in full.

_Arms of the See of York_ (Vol. viii., p. 34.).--I was about to send a note
to "N. & Q.," pointing out that Mr. Knight, in his heraldic illustrations
to 2 _Hen. IV._, in his _Pictorial Edition of Shakspeare_, has given the
modern bearings of the see of York to Archbishop Scroope, instead of those
which belonged to that date, when I observed a Query from TEE BEE, asking
the date and origin of the _change_ of arms which took place. I am sorry
that I am unable to give any authority for my statement, but I believe it
to be not the less true, that the change in question took place when
Cardinal Wolsey came to the see. Nor can I give any farther reason for that
change than the notorious jealousy of the Cardinal towards the superior
rank of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Up to this period the arms
