The following version was written down in 1821 under the name of Scotch and English:—Two parties of boys, divided by a fixed line, endeavoured to pull one another across this line, or to seize by bodily strength or nimbleness a “wad” (the coats or hats of the players) from the little heap deposited in the different territories at a convenient distance. The person pulled across or seized in his attempt to rob the camp was made a prisoner and conducted to the enemy’s station, where he remained under the denomination of “stinkard” till relieved by one of the same side, or by a general exchange of prisoners.—_Blackwood’s Magazine_, August 1821, p. 25. The _Denham Tracts_, i. 150, gives a version of the game much the same as these, except that the words used by the English are, “Here’s a leap into thy kingdom, dry-bellied Scot.” See also Hutton’s _History of Roman Wall_ (1804), p. 104. Brockett’s account, under the title of “Stealy Clothes, or Watch Webs,” is as follows:—The players divide into two parties and draw a line as the boundary of their respective territories. At an equal distance from this line each player deposits his hat or some other article of his dress. The object of the game is to seize and convey these singly to your own store from that of the enemy, but if you are unfortunately caught in the attempt, you not only restore the plunder but become a prisoner yourself. This evidently takes its origin from the inroads of the English and Scotch; indeed, it is plainly proved from the language used on the occasion, which consists in a great measure of the terms of reproach still common among the Borderers.—Brockett’s _North Country Words_. Jamieson, also, describes the game under the title of “English and Scotch,” and says the game has originated from the mutual incursions of the two nations. See “French and English,” “Prisoner’s Base,” “Rigs.” Scratch Cradle The game of “Cat’s Cradle.” Scrush A game much like Shinty between two sides of boys, each with bandies (scrushes) trying to knock a roundish stone over the other’s line.—Barnes’ _Dorset Glossary_. See “Shinney.” Scurran-Meggy A game much in vogue in Cumberland during the last century, and in which a peculiar form of top called a “scurran top” was used.—Halliwell’s _Dictionary_. See-Saw [Music] —London (A. B. Gomme). I. Titty cum tawtay, The ducks in the water; Titty cum tawtay, The geese follow after. —Halliwell’s _Nursery Rhymes_, p. 213. II. See-saw, Margery Daw, Sold her bed to lie upon straw; Wasn’t she a dirty slut To sell her bed to lie upon dirt? —London (A. B. Gomme). III. See-saw, Margery Daw, Johnny shall have a new master; He shan’t have but a farthing a day, Because he can’t work any faster. —London (G. L. Gomme).
