'Νίψον ἀνόμημα, μὴ μόναν ὄψιν,' 'Lord, wash my sin, and not my face only.'"--_Life of Christ_, part i. sect. 9. disc. 6., "On Baptism," vol. ii. p. 235., Eden's edition. Can any reader of "N. & Q." state the bishop's authority for this ingenious device? A. TAYLOR. _Acharis._--The following is extracted from Dugdale's _Monasticon_: "Radulphus Wicliff armiger tenet in Wicliff duas partes decimarum de dominicis quondam _Acharis_, quondam ad 5. s. modò nihil quia ut dicit sunt inclusæ in parco suo, ideo ad consilium." What is the meaning of the term _Acharis_, and of the passage? It is an extract from the _Rentale spiritualium Possessionum atque temporalium Prioratus Sancti Martini juxta Richmund in agro Eboracensi_. A. W. H. _Attainment of Majority._--Professor DE MORGAN will, I am sure, permit me to put this question to him: In a short treatise "On Ancient and Modern Usage in Reckoning," written by him for the _Companion to the Almanac_ of 1850, he explains, at page 9., the usage of attainment of majority in these words: "Nevertheless in the law, which here preserves _the old reckoning_, he is of full age on the 9th: though he were born on the 10th, he is of age to execute a settlement _a minute after midnight_ on the morning of the 9th." I want to have this statement reconciled with the opening scene of Ben Jonson's _Staple of News_, where Pennyboy jun. counts, as his watch strikes--"one, two, three, four, five, six!"-- "Enough, enough, dear watch, Thy pulse hath beat enough --The hour is come so long expected," &c. Then "the fashioner" comes in to fit on the heir's new clothes; he had "waited below 'till the clock struck," and gives, as an excuse, "your worship might have pleaded _nonage_, if you had got 'em on ere I could make just affidavit of the time." All these particulars are too _verbatim_ to admit of doubt as to the peculiar usage of that time; and from other sources I know that Ben Jonson was right: but it is not alluded to in the treatise first mentioned, nor is it stated when the usage was altered to "a minute after midnight." A. E. B. Leeds. _Hartman's Account of Waterloo._--In the note to the 3rd Canto of _Childe Harold_, Stanza 29, Lord Byron says: "The place where Major Howard fell was not far from two tall and solitary trees, which stand a few yards from each other at a pathway's side. Beneath these he died and was buried. The body has since been removed to England." I have a copy on which one has written-- "Hartman's account is full and interesting. He was in conversation with Major Howard when he was killed; and afterwards gave directions for his burial. Though no poet, he could describe graphically what he saw and did."
