_Caves at Settle, Yorkshire._--Being engaged on antiquarian
investigations, I have found it necessary to refer to some discoveries
made in the caves at Settle in Yorkshire, of which my friends in that
county have spoken. Now, I cannot find any printed account. I have
referred to all the works on the county antiquities, and particularly to
Mr. Phillips's book lately published (which professes to describe local
antiquities), but in vain. I cannot find any notice of them. It is very
likely some one of your better-informed readers may be able to assist
me.

[See two letters by Charles Roach Smith and Joseph Jackson in
_Archaeologia_, vol. xxix. p. 384., on the "Roman Remains discovered
in the Caves near Settle in Yorkshire." Our correspondent has
perhaps consulted the following work:--_A Tour to the Caves in the
Environs of Ingleborough and Settle, in the West Riding of
Yorkshire_, 8vo. 1781.]
_The Morrow of a Feast._--It appears from the papers, that the
presentation of the civic functionaries to the Cursitor Baron at
Westminster, took place on Sept. 30. Pray is this the _morrow_ of St.
Michael, as commonly supposed? Does not the analogy of "Morrow of All
Souls" (certainly the {413} same day as All Souls Day, _i. e._ Nov. 2)
point out that the Morrow of St. Michael is the 29th, _i. e._ Michaelmas
Day. That _morrow_ was anciently equivalent to morning, we may infer
from the following passages:
"Upon a morrow tide."--Gower, _Conf. Am._, b. iii.
"Tho' when appeared the third morrow bright,
Upon the waves," &c.
Spenser's _Fairy Queen_, II. xii. 2.
"Good morrow."--_Passim._
R. H.
[Is not our correspondent confounding the morrow of _All Saint_s,
which the 2nd of November certainly is, with the morrow of _All
Souls_? Sir H. Nicolas, in his most useful _Chronology of History_,
says most distinctly:--"The morrow of a feast is the day following.
Thus, the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula is the 1st of August, and
the morrow of that feast is consequently the 2nd of August."--P.
99.]
_Hotchpot._--Will you kindly tell me what is the derivation of the local
term _hotchpot_, and when it was first used?
