Replies to Minor Queries. _Sir Thomas Elyot_ (Vol. viii., p. 220.).--Particulars respecting this once celebrated diplomatist and scholar may be collected from Bernet's _Hist. Reformation_, ed. 1841, i. 95.; Strype's _Ecclesiastical Memorials_, i. 221. 263., Append. No. LXII.; Ellis's _Letters_, ii. 113.; _Archaeologia_, xxxiii.; Wright's _Suppression of Monasteries_, 140.; _Lelandi Encomia_, 83.; Leland's _Collectanea_, iv. 136-148.; _Retrospective Review_, ii. 381.; _Privy Purse Expenses of Princess Mary_, 82. 230.; Chamberlain's _Holbein Heads_; Smith's _Autographs_; Fuller's _Worthies_ (Cambridgeshire); Wood's _Athenae Oxonienses_, i. 58.; Lysons' _Cambridgeshire_, 159. The grant of Carlton cum Willingham in Cambridgeshire to Sir Thomas Elliot and his wife is enrolled in the Exchequer (_Originalia_, 32 Hen. VIII., pars 3. rot. 22. vel 221.); and amongst the Inquisitions filed in that Court is one taken after his death (_Cant. and Hunt._, 37 vel 38 Hen. VIII.). I believe it will be found on investigation, that Sir Richard Elyot (the father of Sir Thomas) was of Wiltshire rather than of Suffolk. See Leland's _Collectanea_, iv. 141. n., and an Inquisition in the Exchequer of the date of 6 or 7 Hen. VIII. thus described in the Calendar: "de manerio de Wanborough com. Wiltes proficua cujus manerii Ricardus Eliot percepit." C. H. COOPER. Cambridge. _Judges styled "Reverend"_ (Vol. viii., p. 158.).--As it is more than probable that your pages may in future be referred to as authority for any statement they contain, especially when the fact they announce is vouched by so valued a name as that of my friend YORK HERALD, I am sure that he will excuse me for correcting an error into which he has fallen, the more especially as Lord Campbell is equally mistaken (_Lord Chancellors_, i. 539.). YORK HERALD states, that "Anthony Fitz-Herbert was appointed Chief Justice of the Common {277} Pleas in 1523, and died in 30 Henry VIII." Fitz-Herbert was never _Chief Justice_. He was made a judge of the Common Pleas in 1522; and so continued till his death at the time mentioned, 1538. During that period, the office of Chief Justice of the Common Pleas was successively held by Sir Thomas Brudenell till 1531, by Sir Robert Norwich till 1535, and then by Sir John Baldwin, who was Chief Justice at the time of Fitz-Herbert's death. William Rastall (afterwards Judge), in the early part of his career, joined his father in the printing business, and there are several books with his imprimatur. It was during that time probably that he formed the table to the _Natura Brevium_ of Anthony Fitz-Herbert, mentioned in the title-page to YORK HERALD'S volume. EDWARD FOSS. _"Hurrah" and other War-cries_ (Vol. vii., pp. 595. 633.; Vol. viii., pp. 20. 88.).--_Hurrah_ is the war-cry of many nations, both in the army and navy. The Dutch seem to have adopted it from the Russians, _poeta invito_, as we see in the following verses of Staring van den Willenborg:
