212 NOTES AND QUERIES. »» s. iv. sin. 9, ■». (Devonshire for eighty-eight) and of " ninety ite " caused the mistake. A more remarkable error appears on a brass (in the church of Lanteglos by Fowey, Corn- wall) which records the marriage of Wm. Mohun with Frances Courtenay instead of her sister Isabell (see Inq. p.m., 4 & 5 Ph. & M., part 2, No. 4). These were two of four sisters, great-aunts and coheiresses of Edward Courtenay, Earl of Devon, the suitor of Queen Elizabeth when princess. In the important Inq. p.m., 30 Ed. I., No. 20 (see Roberts, ' Cal. Geneal.,' ii. 620), we find Oliver de Champernown set down as heir of Emma de Soligny. His daughter and heiress, who was always styled "the Lady Joan Cham- pernown," granted lands for the celebration of masses, in her chapel at Umberleigh, for the souls of William de Campo Arnulphi(Champer- nown), her father, and Eva, her mother, and Ralph de Willington, late her husband (Ris- don, p. 316 ; Peter Le Neve, MSS. penes me ; Pole, ' Devon,' 382, 422). Probably the jury were thinking of the great man Oliver de Dinham, who shared with the Champernowns the lands of their cousin Isolda de Cardinan, the Cornish heiress ('Hundred Ro.,' i. 57). H. H. Drake. Marriages of Persons already married to Each Other (9th S. iv. 9, 72, 135).—As requested by G. E.

Hinton Maddock of Chester."—Billinge'a Liverpool Advertiser, 27 May, 1805. John Hughes. The following is apparently an instance of a remarriage, and is taken from the Thoresby Society's publications :— Adel Registers. —1673, Oct. 14.

National Nicknames (9'h S. iv. 28, 90).— The following names, in addition to those that have already appeared, are given subject to correction :— Blackamoor, a negro, in contradistinction to a" tawny" or "tanny"Moor. The two divisions of Africa, north and south of Sene- gal, were known of old respectively as Mauritia, or the country of the Moors, and Nigritia, the country of the blacks ; but all Mohammedans, whether black or 'tanny," were formerly designated " Moors" — e.g., Othello.

Beecher Stowe. Frog-eater, a Frenchman, in allusion to his partiality for the succulent "siren of the ditch " as an article of food.
