Questions and answers -- Periodicals
[Sigma].
_Master of the Nails._--It appears from the _Historical Register_, January,
1717, "Mr. Hill was appointed Master of all the Nails at Chatham Dock." Can
any of your readers favour me by stating the nature of the above office?
W. D. H.
_Nattochiis and Calchanti._--few days since an ancient charter was laid
before me containing a grant of lands in the county of Norfolk, of the date
1333 (temp. Edw. II.), in which the following words are made use of:
"Cu' omnib; g'nis t natthocouks adjacentib;" &c.
In a later portion of the grant this word is spelt _natthociis_. Probably
some of your learned readers can throw some light on what is meant by the
words _granis et nattochiis_ as being appurtenant to marsh lands.
In a grant I have also now before me of Queen Elizabeth--
"Decimas, calchanti, liquor, mineral, metal," &c.
are given to the grantee for a term of twenty-one years: probably your
readers can also enlighten my ignorance of the term _calchanti_; the other
words are obvious. If any authorities are to be met with, probably in the
answers to these queries your correspondents will have the goodness to cite
them.

"_Ned o' the Todding._"--May I beg, through the medium of your excellent
publication, to ask if any of your correspondents can inform me in which of
our English authors I may find some lines headed "Ned o' the Todding?"

Minor Queries with Answers.
_Bridget Cromwell and Fleetwood._--Can you inform me whether Bridget,
daughter of Oliver Cromwell, who was first married in 1651 to Ireton, Lord
Deputy of Ireland (and had by him a large family), and secondly, to General
Fleetwood, had any family by the latter?
And, if so, what were the Christian names of the children (Fleetwood)?
A NEW SUBSCRIBER OF 1854.
[Noble, in his _Memoirs of the House of Cromwell_, vol. ii. p. 369.,
says, "It is most probable that Fleetwood had issue by his second wife
Bridget, especially as he mentions that she was in an increasing way in
several of his letters, written in 1654 and 1655. It is highly probable
Mr. Charles Fleetwood, who was buried at Stoke Newington, May 14, 1676,
was his son by the Protector's daughter, as perhaps was Ellen
Fleetwood, buried in the same place in a velvet coffin, July 25, 1731;
if so, she must have been, at the time of her death, upwards of seventy
years of age."]
_Culet._--In my bills from Christ Church, Oxford, there is a charge of
sixpence every term for _culet_. What is this?
