Some weeks ago, on looking over a box of old Kentish deeds and papers, P. C. S. S. found a lease, signed by his ancestor Sir John Fineux, on the 6th of October, 1522, to which is affixed a seal in perfect preservation, bearing what P. C. S. S. has hitherto erroneously supposed to be the crest of the Fineux family, viz. an eagle displayed. He is now, however, indebted to your correspondent (Vol. vi., p. 83.) for the conviction that it must be a Dodo, and that it can represent nothing else. For it is of "unwieldy form," has "disproportionate wings," and is altogether of a "clumsy figure." P. C. S. S. has till now believed that the uncouth appearance of the bird was owing to the want of skill in the artist. But it is now clear that it must undoubtedly be a Dodo; and P. C. S. S. will henceforward live, _sibi carior_, in the certainty that the chief justice of England temp. Henry VIII., from whom he has the honour to descend, bore a "veritable Dodo" as his crest. P. C. S. S. takes this occasion of adverting to some Queries which appeared a few months ago, respecting serjeants' rings. He has in his {189} possession one of those given by Sir John Fineux on his assumption of the coif. The motto is, "Suæ quisque fortunæ faber." P. C. S. S. _"Then comes the reckoning," &c._ (Vol. v., p. 585.).--These two lines are to be found in Act II. Sc. 9. of the tragi-comi-pastoral, _The What D'ye Call It_, by John Gay, author of the _Beggar's Opera_, _Fables_, &c. The correct quotation is: "So comes a reck'ning when the banquet's o'er, The dreadful reck'ning, and men smile no more." S. WMSON. _Sir J. Covert, not Govett_ (Vol. vii., p. 85.).--QUÆRO may be perfectly assured that there never was a baronet of the name of Govett, nor a member of parliament so called. P. C. S. S. is confident that the individual to whom QUÆRO refers, as having sat in the second parliament of Charles II., must have been Sir John Covert, Baronet, who was member for Horsham. The misnomer would not be surprising in a list which contains such names as Nosrooth for Noseworthy, Cowshop for Courthope, Meestry for Masters, and Grubbaminton and Zerve for Heaven knows what! P. C. S. S. _Chatterton_ (Vol. vii., pp. 14. 138.).--I feel very much obliged to J. M. G. for his answer to my question. May I ask if he has any other documents or information which would throw light on the origin and history of the Rowley poems? The inquiry has interested me for more than forty years, and I have long been about as fully convinced that Chatterton did not write the poems, as that I did not write them myself. For any help towards finding out who _did_ write them, I should be very thankful. N. B. _Tennyson_ (Vol. vii., p. 84.).--The following brief Note from _Democritus in London; with the Mad Pranks and Comical Conceits of Motley and Robin Good-Fellow_, is a reply to the _first_ Query of H. J. J.: "Ye may no see, for peeping flowers, the grasse." _George Peele._
