_Haveringemere._--Gervase of Tilbury, in the 4th book of his _Otia Imperialia_, sect. 88., mentions a certain pond or mere lying near the confines of Wales, and named Haveringemere, of which the peculiarity is, that if a person passing over it in a boat utters, in a loud voice, certain opprobrious words, a commotion arises in the waters and sinks the boat. The words, as printed in the edition of Leibnitz (Leibnitii _Scriptores Brunsvicenses_, tom. i. p. 990.), are "_Prout haveringemere_ aut _allethophe cunthefere_;" which he explains to mean, "_Phrut_ tibi, mare, et omnibus qui te transfretant." He adds with great simplicity: "Et satis mirandum, quod aquae hujus modi concipiunt indignationes." It is plain that we ought to read, "Phrut Haveringemere, and alle thai that on thee fere" (_i. e._ ferry). _Phrut_ or _prut_ is a word of contempt, of which Mr. Halliwell gives an instance, _s. v._ Prut, from an Harleian MS.: "And seyth _prut_ for thy cursing prest." Is anything known of this mere at the present day, and is there any remnant of this old superstition? Gervase wrote his book anno 1211. C. W. G. _Old Pictures of the Spanish Armada._--At Beddington Hall, famous for its fine banqueting-hall, in which Queen Elizabeth feasted, I have heard that there used to be one or more pictures of the Spanish Armada, presented by Elizabeth herself to the family resident there. Can any reader of "N. & Q." inform me whether these pictures (if more than one) are still in existence: if so, where they are, and whether they are to be seen? A large gilt lock, also presented by Queen Elizabeth, still remains on one of the doors of the said banqueting-hall. J. S. A. Old Broad Street. _Bell Inscription._--The following inscription occurs on two bells formerly belonging to St. Sepulchre's Church, Cambridge. I should be glad of an explanation: "[DE] + [PVRI] SANTI EDMONDVS STEFANVS TOMMI ME FECIT [WL] 1576." C. W. G. _Loselerius Villerius, &c._--I wish to know who was Loselerius Villerius, who edited an edition of the Greek Testament, with the Vulgate and Beza's Latin version (I think) in parallel columns. This edition seems to have been successful, as I have a copy of the third edition. The title-page of my copy is missing, but the dedication to Henry Earl of Huntingdon is dated "London, vi cal. Nov. 1573." Any information about Loselerius would be acceptable. I should also be glad to know whether the edition is considered at all valuable.
