_Kicker-eating._--Can any of your West Yorkshire readers supply me with information relative to a practice which is said formerly to have prevailed at Cleckheaton, of eating "kicker," or horseflesh? It is a fact that natives of that locality who come to reside at Leeds are still subjected to the opprobrium of being _kicker-eaters_. H. W. _Chadderton of Nuthurst, co. Lancashire._--When did the family of Chadderton become extinct? Had Edmund Chadderton, son and heir of George Chadderton by Jane Warren of Poynton, any descendants? and if so, what were their names and the dates of their respective births, marriages, and deaths? In short, any particulars relating to them down to the period of the extinction of this family would be most acceptable. J. B. _George, first Viscount Lanesborough, and Sir Charles Cotterell._--G. S. S. begs to submit the following questions to the readers of "N. & Q.:" When did George Lane, first Viscount Lanesborough, in Ireland, die? And when Sir Charles Cotterell, the translator of _Cassandra?_ Where were they both buried? _"Firm was their faith," &c._--Who was the writer of those beautiful lines, of which the following, the only verse I remember, is a portion? "Firm was their faith, the ancient bands, The wise in heart, in wood and stone, Who rear'd with stern and trusting hands, The dark grey towers of days unknown. They fill'd those aisles with many a thought, They bade each nook some truth recall, The pillar'd arch its legend brought, A doctrine came with roof and wall!" And where can they be met with entire? P. M. _The Mother of William the Conqueror._--Can you or any of your correspondents say which is right? In Debrett's _Peerage_ for 1790 the genealogy of the Marchioness Grey gives her descent from "Rollo or Fulbert, who was chamberlain to Robert, Duke of Normandy; and of his gift had the castle and manor of Croy in Picardy, whence his posterity assumed their surname, afterwards written de Grey. Which Rollo had a daughter Arlotta, mother of William the Conqueror." Now history says that the mother of the Conqueror was Arlette or Arlotte, the daughter of a tanner at Falaise. We know how scrupulous the Norman nobility were in their genealogical records; and likewise that in the lapse of time mistakes are perpetuated and become history. Can history in this instance be wrong? and if so, how did the mistake arise? I shall feel obliged to any one who can furnish farther information on the subject. ALPHA.
