_Queen Anne's Motto_ (Vol. viii., p. 174.).--By an order of the queen
in council, 17th of April, 1707, consequent upon the union of Scotland
with England, it was declared in what manner the ensigns armorial of the
United Kingdom (called Great Britain) should thenceforth be borne; when
it was also declared that her majesty's motto, "Semper eadem," should be
_continued_.

_Longevity_ (Vol. vii., p. 368. &c.).--Several of the upland parishes
bordering on the river Yare have had remarkable instances of longevity.
One of the best authenticated was a man named Pottle, who resided on the
Reedham estate of the late J. F. Leathes, Esq., of Herringfleet. When
Pottle was 104 years old, the tenantry on the estate subscribed to have
his portrait painted, {256} which they presented to their landlord, each
retaining a lithograph copy of it. Many of these copies I have seen. Two
years after this I conversed with the old man, who was then keeping cows
on a common. There was nothing remarkable about him except his voice,
which was very loud and powerful. He has now been dead some time, but I
do not know his exact age at death.
In the register of burials for the parish of Runham, Norfolk, is this
entry:
"August 12, 1788. William Russels, aged One hundred and one
years."
The clergyman has entered the age in round text-hand, evidently that the
entry might not escape notice.
E. G. R.
_Irish Bishops as English Suffragans_ (Vol. vii., p. 569.).--The
following instances of Irish bishops acting as bishops in England will be
additional illustrations of the facts adduced by AN OXFORD B. C. L.
"Requisitus idem Simon de suis Ordinibus dicit, quod apud
Oxoniam recepit Ordinem subdiaconi a _quodam Episcopo Yberniæ_,
Albino nomine, _tunc vicario Episcopi Lincolniensis_. Item ab
eodem recepit Ordinem diaconi.... ¶ Capellanus de Sandhurst
Johannes De Siveburn dicit, quod ordinatus fuit sudiaconum
apud Cicestriam, Diaconum apud Winton., _ab Episcopo Godfrido,
in Ybernia_."--Maskell's _Ancient Liturgy of the Church of
England_, p. 181., note.

_Green Pots used for drinking from by Members of the Temple_ (Vol. viii.,
p. 171.).--The green pots mentioned in Sir Julius Cæsar's letter had been
introduced into the Inner Temple about thirty years before its date. This
appears from the following passage in Dugdale's _Origines Juridiciales_
(1680), p. 148., where he refers to the register of that Society, fol.
127 _a._:
"Untill the second year of Q. Eliz. reign, this Society did
use to drink in Cups of Ashen-Wood (such as are still used in
the King's Court), but then those were laid aside, and green
earthen pots introduced, which have ever since continued."
