_Moke_ (Vol. v., p. 374).--With the Editor of "N. & Q." I think the interpretation of "muck" for the old word used by Wyckliffe is "not satisfactory:" I therefore suggest another, perhaps equally questionable. Every rustic in grazing districts knows, that in the hot season of the year sheep are liable to be fearfully flyblown in their living flesh; and that the maggots thence resulting are called _mokes_, or mawks. Is not the preacher's allusion in the text to certain shepherds, or rather sheep of Christ's flock, who, rather than give one of their _mokes_ to help one of their "needy brethren," will allow themselves to "perish" and "be taken of" these maggots? The term in question is, or was formerly, in provincial use as a metonym for lendiculosity in a figurative sense--a tetchy, whimsical individual, being said to be "maggoty," _vulgo_, _mokey_. Lendix has not, however, in all cases been treated with abhorrence; for one of the elder Wesleys not only printed a book of rhymes with the title of _Maggots_, but prefixed to it his portrait, with one of these _animi impetu concitari_ represented as creeping on the forehead! D. _Ground Ice_ (Vol. v., p. 370.).--J. C. E. will find a very elaborate and interesting paper "On the Ice formed, under peculiar Circumstances, at the bottom of Running Waters," by the Rev. J. Farquharson, in the _Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society for 1835_, Part II. p. 329. J. H. Hallamshire. _Nobleman alluded to by Bishop Berkeley_ (Vol. v., p. 345.).--I beg to suggest to your correspondent J. M., that this nobleman was Richard Boyle, third Earl of Burlington, and fourth Earl of Cork, who had a passion for architecture, and was the architect of numerous buildings in the metropolis and other parts of the kingdom. He repaired Inigo Jones's church of St. Paul, Covent Garden. He built the front of Burlington House in Piccadilly; the dormitory at Westminster School; the Assembly Rooms at York; and several villas and mansions in various parts of the country, besides publishing some architectural works. Bishop Berkeley was introduced to him by Pope about the year 1722, and I believe derived some benefit from his patronage. His architectural pursuits are alluded to by Pope in the epistle on the use of riches, which was addressed to him. G. R. J. _House at Welling_ (Vol. v., p. 368.).--Inquiry is made about one of our old English poets, who is said to have lived at the old house in _Welling_, where there is a _high yew hedge_. I am the owner of the house referred to, and have lived here since 1811. I have never heard the report, but I think that it may have arisen from the fact, that about eighty years ago a Major _Denham_ possessed the house. It is possible that he may have been mistaken for his namesake, _Denham_ the poet. ESTE.
