[134] Hector, or Eckie of Harlaw, as he is called in the Border Minstrelsy, delivered up the Earl of Northumberland, who had sought refuge with him, to the Regent Murray. [135] The name of the person against whom the bill was filed was Henry Robson, probably of Falstone. His non-appearance seems to have caused the dispute between the wardens, Sir J. Foster and Sir J. Carmichael, which ended in a general combat between their followers. [136] The above passage is quoted by Mr. T. Crofton Croker in a note on the following lines in "A Kerry Pastoral," a poem published in Concanen's Miscellanies, 1724, and reprinted by the Percy Society: "Dingle and Derry sooner shall unite, Shannon and Cashan both be drain'd outright; And Kerry men forsake their cards and dice, Dogs be pursued by Hares, and Cats by Mice, Water begin to burn, and fire to wet, Before I shall my college friends forget." The favorite game of the Kerry men is said to have been "One-and-thirty." [137] Pascasius Justus, in his work entitled Alea, first published in 1560, relates that though he frequently felt difficulty in obtaining a supply of provisions when travelling in Spain, he never came to a village, however poor, in which cards were not to be found. The prevalence of card-playing in Spain about the middle of the sixteenth century is further shown in a work entitled 'Satyra invectiva contra los Tahures: en que se declaran los daños que al euerpo, y al alma y la hazienda se siguen del juego de los naypes. Impressa en Sevilla, en casa de Martin de Montesdoca, Año de M.D.LVII.' This work is erroneously ascribed by Antonio, in his Bibliotheca Hispana Nova, to Dominic Valtanas, or Baltanas, a Dominican friar, at whose instance the edition referred to was printed. The author was Diego del Castillo, who also wrote another work on the same subject, entitled 'Reprobacion de los Juegos,' printed at Valladolid in 1528.--The author derives the word _Tahur_, a gamester, from _Hurto_, theft, robbery, by transposing the syllables, and changing _o_ into _a_: "Tahur y ladron, Una cosa son." [138] "Il existe en Belgique plusieurs tableaux attribués à Jean Van Eyck, qu'il est inutile de désigner, et qui par les costumes des personnages dénotent une postériorité d'un grand nombre d'années. Nantes en possède un, également attribué à ce maître, dont les costumes sont ceux du règne de Charles VIII. Le sujet, sous le titre de _Philippe-le-Bon consultant une tireuse de cartes_, en a été donné dans le Magasin Pittoresque, année 1842, p. 324."--Quelques Mots sur la Gravure au Millésime de 1418, p. 13. Philippe-le-Bon, Duke of Burgundy, died in 1467; John Van Eyck in 1445.
