100. _Noctes Templariæ._--In turning over yesterday a MS. volume in the
University Library, I met with a tract of 8 pp., with the title, _Noctes
Templariæ: a Briefe Chronicle of the darke Raigne of the bright Prince
of burning Love_. Stradilan is the name of the principal character in
this most mad composition. As to the author, I shall be glad to receive
information from those better acquainted with the fugitive literature of
the seventeenth century than
W. R. C.
Cambridge.
101. _Commissioners on Officers of Justice in England._--On July 27th,
1733, commissioners were appointed to survey the officers of justice in
England and Wales, and to inquire into their fees. Will any of your
learned readers inform me whether these commissioners made any report of
the returns of fees which they received in pursuance of their
commission, and where is such report or returns deposited? This inquiry
may lead to some important results.
INQUIRER.
102. _Marcus Ælius Antoninus._--Can you or any of your correspondents
inform me what writer is concealed under the pseudonyme of Marcus Ælius
Antoninus, in the following title?
"De scripto quodam cleri secundarii et leguleorum cololiensium
planè detestabili, adversus Evangelii doctrinam et ordines Imperii
nuper edito Querela Marci Ælii Antonini Imperatoris, qui
Philosophus à bonis literis magna laude cognominatus est. 1543."
TYRO.
Dublin.
103. _Derivation of Pic-nic._--Can any of your subscribers inform me of
the derivation of the word "Pic-nic?"
A. F. S.
Nottingham, Aug. 12.
104. _Sir Thomas More's Knighthood._--I should, be glad of the date when
the honour of knighthood was conferred on this eminent man and also the
date of his admission into the privy council. If I am rightly informed,
the records of the privy council are preserved only since 1540.
EDWARD F. RIMBAULT
105. _Portrait of Mandeville, author of the Fable of "The Bees."_--Could
any of your numerous readers inform me whether there is in existence any
authenticated portrait of Dr. Bernard de Mandeville, author of the fable
of "The Bees?" I have made a fruitless search for several years past.
B. G.
106. _Dingle, early History of._--Any references to works, MS. or
printed, containing notices of the early history of Dingle and its
neighbourhood, in the county of Kerry, Ireland, will much oblige.
