In Dugd. _Monast._, edit. 1830, vi. 1308., seven of the inferior clergy of the collegiate church of Beverley are called by what is said to be an ancient name, _Berefellarii_. What does this word mean? Can it be a blunder, in the original document, for _beneficiatii_? JOHN JEBB. Peterstow Rectory, Ross. "_Judæus odor._"-- "Abluitur Judæus odor baptismate divo, Et nova progenies reddita surgit aquis." I have seen the above lines attributed to Vigilantius, but have not been able to verify the quotation. Can any of your readers tell me where they are to be found? I suspect they are not of so great antiquity, as Sir Thomas Browne (_Vulgar Errors_, book iv. chap. 10.), though he investigates {208} and denies the "Judæus odor," does not notice the opinion that it is removed by baptism. H. _Lord Lyon King-at-Arms, Scotland._--Where is there an account of the origin of this office, and of the different possessors of it? Scotland does not, I believe, possess any corresponding work to Noble's _History of the College of Arms_, and I know of no history which contains the above-desired information collectively. To trace the succession of the Lord Lyon Kings-at-Arms would be interesting, as many celebrated, and even illustrious, individuals held that high office in Scotland. Poets as well as warriors might be mentioned amongst the number. A. S. A. Wuzzeerabad. _Louisa Lady Gordon of Gordonstoun, N. B._--This lady, who was the only child of Dr. John Gordon, Dean of Salisbury in England, and Lord of Glenluce in Scotland, married, 1653, Sir Robert Gordon, son of the Earl of Sutherland (better known as the historian of that earldom), who was created a baronet in 1625, and died in 1656. Their lineal male descendants became extinct in 1795, in the person of their great-great-grandson, Sir William, the sixth baronet. What I desire to ascertain is, who was Lady Gordon's father, this dean of Salisbury; his marriage, death, &c., and more especially how he was _Lord of Glenluce_? Perhaps some of your antiquarian subscribers may be able to assist me in these inquiries. A. S. A. Wuzzeerabad. _Contested Elections._--What book gives an accurate account of all the contested elections since the Restoration, and prior to the Reform Bill? I have one or two wretched compilations; but it seems no Dod existed before the _flood_. X. Y. Z. * * * * * Minor Queries with Answers. _Game of the Whetstone._--In Lambarde's _Perambulation of Kent_ (page 110., ed. 1596), the author, remarking on Ealred's assertion that King Edward the Confessor saw at mass the seven sleepers at Ephesus turn on one side after having slept seventy years together on the other, says: "Which seeing it was within five years of so many as Epimenides slept, Ealred (in my phansie) is worthie to have the second game at the whetstone." In the margin the note to this is-- "i Loue Lye or game for the whetstone."
