If there have not been two Messrs. Barker connected with the Panorama, Mr. Cunningham must be incorrect in his date, for I was not in existence in 1806. A. G. Ecclesfield. * * * * * MINOR QUERIES. _Vegetable Sympathy._--I have been told that Sir Humphrey Davy asserted that the shoots of trees, if transplanted, will only live as long as the parent stock--supposing that to die naturally. How is this to be accounted for, if true? A. A. D. _Court Dress_--When was the present court dress first established as the recognised costume for state ceremonials? and if there are extant any orders of the Earl Marshal upon the subject, where are they printed? HENCO. _Dieu et mon Droit._--When was this first adopted as the motto of our sovereigns? I have heard widely different dates assigned to it. LEICESTRENSIS. _Cachecope Bell._--In the ancient accounts of the churchwardens of the parish of St. Mary-de-Castro, Leicester, and also in those of St. Martin in the same town, the term "cachecope," "kachecope," "catche coppe," or "catch-corpe-bell," is not of unfrequent occurrence: _e. g._, in the account for St. Mary's for the year 1490, we have: "For castynge ye cachecope bell, js. "It. To Thos. Raban for me'dyng ye kachecope bell whole, iiijd." I have endeavoured in vain to ascertain the meaning and derivation of the word, which is not to be found in Mr. Halliwell's excellent _Dictionary of Archaic Words_. Can you enlighten me on the subject? LEICESTRENSIS. _The Image of both Churches._--A curious work, treating largely of the schism between the Catholics and Protestants in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, was printed at Tornay in 1623, under the following title: _The Image of bothe Churches, Hierusalem and Babel, Unitie and Confusion, Obedience and Sedition, by P. D. M._ What is the proof that this was written by Dr. Matthew Paterson? EDWARD F. RIMBAULT. _Double Names._--Perhaps some one would explain why so many persons formerly bore two names, as "Hooker _alias_ Vowel." Illegitimacy may have sometimes caused it: but this will not explain those cases where the bearers ostentatiously set forth both names. Perhaps they were the names of both parents, used even by lawfully born persons to distinguish themselves from others of the same paternal name. T. "_If this fair flower_," &c.--Would you kindly find a place for the lines which follow? I have but slender hopes of discovering their author, but think that their beauty is such as to deserve a reprint. They are not by Waller; nor Dryden, as far as I know. I found them in a periodical published in Scotland during the last century, and called _The Bee_. "Lines supposed to have been addressed, with the present of a white rose, by a Yorkist, to a lady of the Lancastrian faction. 'If this fair flower offend thy sight, It in thy bosom bear: 'Twill blush to be outmatched in white And turn Lancastrian there!'"
