_Piccalyly._--The ornament, somewhat between a hood, a scarf, and an armlet, worn hanging over the right shoulder of judges and serjeants at law, is called a _piccalyly_. What is the origin of this peculiarity of judicial costume, what are the earliest examples of it, and what its etymology? NO JUDGE. _Post-Office about 1770._--Mr. Smith, in the notes prefixed to the _Grenville Correspondence_, says several of Junius's letters appear to have been sent from the same post-office "as the post-mark is '_peny_ post payd,'"--a peculiarity of spelling not likely to occur often. Have any of your correspondents letters of that date with a like post-mark? and, if so, can they tell us _where_ posted? P. A. O. "_Carefully examined and well-authenticated._"--I agree with MR. CRAMP (Vol. vii., p. 569.) that "the undecided question of the authorship of Junius requires that every statement should be carefully examined, and (as far as possible) only well-authenticated facts be admitted as evidence." I take leave, therefore, to remind him that my question (Vol. iii., p. 262.) remains unanswered; that I am anxious that he should authenticate his statement (p. 63.), and name some of the "many" {9} persons in whose libraries vellum-bound copies of Junius have been found. V. B. _Sir Heister Ryley._--Who was the author of the _Visions of Sir Heister Ryley_, and whence did it derive its name? It was published in 1710, and consists of papers periodically published on serious subjects. It was one of the many short-lived periodicals that sprung up in imitation of the _Tatler_, and appears to have died a natural death at the end of the so-called first volume. H. T. RILEY. _Effigies with folded Hands._--On the south side of Llangathen Church, Carmarthenshire, is a huge monument (of the style well designated as bedstead) for Dr. Anthony Rudd, Bishop of St. David's, and Anne Dalton, his wife, 1616, with their recumbent effigies, and those of four sons kneeling at their head and feet. From all these figures the iconoclasts had smitten the hands upraised in prayer, and they have been replaced by plaister hands folded on the bosom. The effect is singular. Is there any other instance of such restoration? E. D. * * * * * Minor Queries with Answers. _Passage in Bishop Horsley._--In the Introduction to _Utrum Horum_, a rather curious work by Henry Care, being a comparison of the Thirty-nine Articles with the doctrines of Presbyterians on the one hand, and the tenets of the Church of Rome on the other, is an extract from Dr. Hakewill's _Answer_ (1616) _to Dr. Carier_, "an apostate to Popery." In it occurs the following passage: "And so, through Calvin's sides, you strike at the throat and heart of our religion." Will you allow me to ask if a similar expression is not used by Bishop Horsley in some one of his Charges? S. S. S.
