_Sir Andrew Chadwick._--It is stated that on the 18th Jan. 1709-10, Sir
Andrew Chadwick, of St. James's, Westminster, was knighted by Queen Anne
for some service done to her, it is supposed for rescuing her when thrown
from her horse. Can any of your correspondents inform me if such was the
fact, and from what source they derive their information?

_Sangaree._--Your periodical having been the means of eliciting some
interesting particulars respecting the origin of the word _grog_, perhaps
you will allow me to claim a similar distinction for the word _sangaree_.
You are aware that this word is applied, in the West Indies, to a beverage
composed of Madeira wine, syrup, water, and nutmeg. The French call it
_sangris_, in allusion, it is supposed, to the colour of the beverage,
which when mixed has the appearance, as it were, of grey blood _(sang
gris)_: but as there is reason to believe that the English were the first
to introduce the use of the thing, they having been the first to introduce
its principal ingredient, Madeira wine, I am disposed to look upon
_sangaree_ as the original word, and _sangris_ as nothing more than a
corruption of it. Can any of your readers (among whom I trust there are
many retired West India planters) give the etymology of this word?

_King John at Lincoln._--Matthew Paris, under the year 1200, gives an
account of King John's visiting Lincoln to meet William, king of Scots, and
to receive his homage:

"Ubi Rex Johannes, [he says] contra consilium multorum, intravit
civitatem intrepidus, quod nullus antecessorum suorum attentare ausus
fuerat."

My Query is, What were they afraid of?

_Canes lesi._--May I also put a question with respect to an ancient tenure
in Dorsetshire, recorded by Blount, edit. 1679, p. 46.:

"Juliana, &c., tenuit dimidiam hidam terrae, &c., per serjantiam
custodiendi _Canes_ Domini Regis _lesos_, si qui fuerint, quotiescunque
Dominus Rex fugaverit in Foresta sua de _Blakemore_: et ad dandum unum
denarium ad clancturam Parci Domini Regis de _Gillingham_."

Blount's explanation of _Canes lesos_, is "leash hounds or park hounds,
such as draw after a hurt deer in a leash, or liam;" but is there any
reason why we should not adopt the more simple rendering of "hur
