_Wife of James Torre_ (Vol. iii., p. 329.).--In reply to MR. PEACOCK'S Query I beg to inform him that the lady's name was Elizabeth, youngest of the four daughters and co-heiresses of William Lincolne, D.D., of Bottesford, and by her Mr. Torre had several children, all of whom died young except Jane, who married, in 1701, the Rev. Thomas Hassel. This is taken from Burke's _Dictionary of Landed Gentry_, vol. ii, M to Z, published by Colburn, London, 1847, where the Torre pedigree can be seen, but no other mention of the _Lincolne_ family is there made. There are seven different coats of arms and crests under the name _Lincolne_ in Burke's _Armory of England, Scotland, and Ireland_, published by Churton in 1843. This is all I can find at present. J. N. C. * * * * * _Ramasse_ (Vol. iii., p. 347.).--One word to complete MR. WAY'S explanation. This style of sliding down the slopes of the Alps is called a _ramasse_, because the guides are ready below to _ramasser_, that is, to _pick up_, the travellers who are thus sent down. C. This word is by no means obsolete in France, in the acceptation of "a sledge." In addition to the instances given from Barré and Roquefort by MR. ALBERT WAY, in his instructive note on the "Pilgrymage of Syr R. Guylforde, Knyght," I find in Napoléon Landais' _Dictionnaire général et grammatical des Dictionnaires Français_," the following explanation:-- "RAMASSE, chaise à porteurs, traîneau pour descendre des montagnes où il y a de la neige: _descendre une montagne dans une ramasse_." He also says, in defining the meaning of the verb "ramasser:" "Traîner dans une _ramasse: on le ramassa pendant deux heures; quand il fut sur la montagne, il se fit ramasser_." The late Mr. Tarver, in his _Dictionnaire Phraséologique Royal_, has also the following: "RAMASSE, s. f. (t. de voyageur), sledge. "_On le ramassa_, they conveyed him in a sledge. "RAMASSEUR, a man who drives a sledge." D. C. St. John's Wood, May 4. 1851. * * * * * _Four Want Way_ (Vol. iii., p. 168.).--Halliwell describes the word "want" as meaning in Essex a cross-road. It is still used here as denoting a place where four roads meet, and called "a four want way." I always fancied it meant a wont way, _via solita_; but I have no authority for the etymology. BRAYBROOKE. Audley End. ["Went" is used in Chaucer in the sense of "way," "passage," "turning," or road: thus, in _Troilus and Creseide_, iii. 788., he speaks of a "a privie went," and v. 605., "And up and doun there made he many a went;" and in the _House of Fame_: "And in a forrest as they went, At the tourning of a went."]
