_Statue of St. Peter_ (Vol. vi., p. 604.; Vol. vii., p. 96.).--On what authority does CEYREP rest the confident statement, that this statue was undoubtedly cast for a St. Peter "in the time of St. Leo the Great?" I have always understood that it was an ancient statue which had been found in the Tiber; but here is a distinct assertion as to the period of its origin, for which some good authority would be very acceptable. B. H. C. _Lord Goring_ (Vol. ii., pp. 22. 65.).--I see him mentioned (in the _Herstelde Leeuw_, fol. 122.) as having been present at the baptism of William III. in 1651. He escorted Madam van Dhona, by whom the young prince was carried to church.--_From the Navorscher_. W. D. V. _Revolutionary Calendar_ (Vol. vi., pp. 199. 305.).--The lines to which C. refers may be seen in Brady's _Clavis Calendaria_, vol. i. p. 38. He gives them as the lines of an English wit, thus: "Autumn, wheezy, sneezy, freezy, Winter, slippy, drippy, nippy; Spring showery, flowery, bowery; Summer hoppy, croppy, poppy." THOMAS LAWRENCE. Ashby-de-la-Zouch. _Scanderbags' Sword_ (Vol. vii., p. 35.).--This alludes to a proverb given by Fuller, "Scanderbags' sword must have Scanderbags' arm." ZEUS. _Rhymes upon Places_ (Vol. vii., p. 24.).--Lincolnshire: "Gosberton church is very high, Surfleet church is all awry; Pinchbeck church is in a hole, And Spalding church is big with foal." ZEUS. _Nicknames_ (Vol. vi., p. 198.).--If your correspondent will look at Mr. Bellenden Ker's _Archæology of Popular Phrases_, vol. i. p. 184., he will find an attempt to show the origin of nickname; but, whether we agree or not with Mr. Ker, the whole paragraph is worth reading for its comparative philology: it may, perhaps, bear out that the "nic" in "pic-nic" is also allied. THOMAS LAWRENCE. Ashby-de-la-Zouch. _Nugget_ (Vol. vi., pp. 171. 281.).--E. N. W. inquires the meaning of the word _nugget_; and W. S. replies that in Persian _nuqud_ signifies "ready money." This may have satisfied E. N. W., but it reminds me of Jonathan Oldbuck and {144} A. D. L. L. I should have thought that any one who had the slightest skill in etymology would have seen at once that _a nugget_ is nothing more than a Yankee (?) corruption of _an ingot_. As many may be in the case of E. N. W., you may as well, perhaps, give this a place in "N. & Q." T. K. _Lawyers' Bags_ (Vol. vii., p. 85.).--I think the statement that "prior to the trial of Queen Caroline, the colour of the bags carried by barristers was _green_," will surprise some legal readers. I had been a barrister several years when that trial took place, and cannot think that I had ever seen (indeed that I have yet seen) a barrister or a barrister's clerk carrying a green bag. I suspect it is a mere blunder arising out of the talk about the "green bag" which was said to contain the charges against the Queen. That, however, I apprehend was not a lawyer's bag, whatever some lawyers might have to do with it.
