NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

E. VEE.  “When Greeks join Greeks,” &c. is a line by NAT.  LEE. See No. 14. p. 211.

K.D.B.  The following—­“In Flesh-monger-street, Siward the moneyer (renders) to the King 15d. and to William de Chesney houseroom, salt and water”—­is a literal translation.  Correspondents must be careful not to omit letters or contractions in extracts from original records.  It would in this case have been difficult correctly to render “monet” without a contraction; and “Flemangerstret,” as our correspondent wrote it, might have been changed into “Fell-monger-,” instead of “Flesh-monger-street.”  The service of “house-room, salt, and {327} water,” seems a singular one; it was, of course, a kind of entertainment, or a contribution to entertainment.  If the Liber Winton contains no other notice of similar services, “H.D.K.” will find the subject illustrated, though not the particular tenure, at pp. 260-267. of the first volume of Sir H. Ellis’s Introduction to the Great Domesday.

Rue Strewed before Prisoners at the Bar of the Old Bailey.  This custom originated in the fear of infection, at a period when Judges, &c. were liable to fall victims to gaol fever.

Erratum.  No. 19. p. 307. col. 2., for “Pla_u_torum Abbreviati_s_” read “Pla_ci_torum Abbreviati_o_.”
