[We have good reason to know the great interest which our Scandinavian brethren take in the literature of this country, and hope this appeal of MR. STEPHENS will be liberally responded to. Any donations for the libraries in question, which, we believe, are both public libraries, may be left for him at the office of "NOTES AND QUERIES."] Minor Queries. 1. _Painted Prints of Overton._--In Vol. iii., pp. 324, 325., under the title "The Bellman and his History," are quoted some lines from Gay's _Trivia_, book ii. p. 482. The last line is-- "The colour'd prints of Overton appear." Who was Overton, and what were his prints that Gay in these lines makes the companions of the bellman's song? F. L. H. 2. _Fourth Fare._--In the accounts of the churchwardens of St. Edmund's, Sarum, temp. Edw. IV., this item often occurs, for which a payment was made. Does it not mean the dying knell, from the German "to depart." H. T. E. Clyst St. George, June 3. 1851. 3. _John Wood, Architect._--Can any of your readers inform me if any likeness is in existence of the author of _An Essay towards a Description of Bath_? or if any of his descendants are still living? He built the Bristol Exchange; and Bath is indebted to him for many of its most noble edifices. He was a magistrate for the county of Somerset, and died in 1754. GAMMA. 4. _Derivation of "Spon."_--Can you or your readers give me a derivation of the word "spon," in its application to street names? There is "Spon End," and also "Spon Street," in Coventry, "Spon Lane" at West Bromwich, and "Spon Terrace" at Birmingham. Can you supply any other instances? Mr. Halliwell merely says, "_Spon_, a shaving of wood;" and it is used in this sense in Scott's _Sir Tristrem_, p. 119.: "Bi water he sent adoun Light linden spon." C. H. B. Clarence Street, Islington. 5. _Dell, in what County?_--I shall feel obliged if any of your correspondents can tell me whereabouts this place is, and in what county? J. N. C. 6. _Bummaree or Bumaree._--There is a large class of salesmen in Billingsgate Market not recognised as such by the trade, but styled Bumarees, who get a living by purchasing large parcels of fish of the factor or common salesman, and selling it out in smaller quantities to the fishmongers and other retailing buyers. This whole-sale retailing of fish is also called bummareeing it, hence the name of these (self-styled) salesmen. I have not been able to find any clue to the meaning of this word thus used in any authority that I possess, though the word has been recognised in statutes and bye-laws of the markets for upwards of one hundred years. As I feel very interested in this matter, may I be allowed to call the attention of some of your very learned correspondents to this matter, and ask for the probable etymology and exact orthography of the word.
