_Hyrne_ (Vol. v., p. 152.).--MR. CHADWICK inquires the meaning of this word. In Bosworth's _Anglo-Saxon Dictionary_ I find, "_Hyrne_, a horn, corner;" "_Hirne_, an angle, a corner;" and in Halliwell's _Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words_ I find "_Hirne_, a corner." In many villages in the fen districts of Lincolnshire are found places called the _Hirne_, the _Hurne_, or the _Horn's-end_ all being portions of the respective villages situated in an angle or corner at the extreme end of the parish. "Horncastle in Lincolnshire, the Banovallum of the Roman geographer Ravennas, derives its name from its situation in an angle formed by the junction of two small rivers, the Bane and the Waring. Horncastle is a corruption of _Hyrncastre_, a fortification in an angle or corner." See Weir's _Horncastle_. P. T. Stoke Newington. _Stops, when first introduced_ (Vol. v., p. 1.).--In the _Alvearie, or Quadruple Dictionarie_, by Baret, published in 1580, may be found the comma, colon, semicolon, and period. The semicolon appears, as far as my observation has gone, to have been _there_ used, not as a stop, but as a note of contraction. The point of interrogation is plentifully scattered throughout the same work; as also, the index -->. FRANCISCUS. _Heraldical MSS. of Sir H. St. George Garter_ (Vol. v., p. 59.).--Your correspondent as to MSS. formerly at Enmore may learn their fate on applying to Mr. Woodgate, of Lincoln's Inn. I think the MSS. were sent to the then Lord Perceval. Mr. N. B. Acworth, of the English bar, would also probably know. J. R. P. _Kingswei, Kings-way, or Kinsey_ (Vol. iv., p. 231.).--In addition to the instances in Oxon and Wilts, already mentioned, the town of Kinsey occurs on the high road leading from Prince's Risborough to Thame. Is _Kinsey_, in this case, a contraction for _Kings-way_, as in Oxon; and is this a continuation of King Athelstan's road? B. WILLIAMS.
