e s'accordait mal avec une existence casaniere et
paisible. Le peuple dit encore de nos jours en Bretagne, _qu'il faut
neuf tailleurs pour faire un homme_, et jamais il ne prononce leur nom,
sans oter son chapeau, et sans dire: 'Sauf votre respect.'"

The saying is current also in Normandy, at least in those parts which
border on Britany. Perhaps some of the readers of "N. & Q." may be able to
say whether it is to be found in other parts of Europe.

_"Time and I"_ (Vol. vii., pp. 182. 247.).--Arbuthnot calls it a Spanish
proverb. In the _History of John Bull_, we read among the titles of other
imaginary chapters in the "Postscript," that of--

"Ch. XVI. Commentary upon the _Spanish_ Proverb, _Time and I against
any Two_; or Advice to Dogmatical Politicians, exemplified in some New
Affairs between John Bull and _Lewis Baboon_."

_Carr Pedigree_ (Vol. vii., pp. 408. 512.).--W. ST. says that William Carr
married Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Sing, Bishop of Cork. The name is
Synge, not Sing. The family name was originally Millington, and was changed
to Synge by Henry VIII. or Queen Elizabeth, on account of the sweetness of
the voice of one of the family, who was a clergyman, and the ancestor of
George Synge, Bishop of Cloyne; Edward Synge, Bishop of Ross; Edward Synge,
Archbishop of Tuam; Edward Synge, Bishop of Leighlin and Ferns; Nicholas
Synge, Bishop of Killaloe; the late Sir Samuel Synge Hutchinson, Archdeacon
of Killala; and of the present Sir Edward Synge.

I cannot find that any of these church dignitaries had a daughter married
to Wm. Carr. Nicholas Synge, Bishop of Killaloe, left a daughter,
Elizabeth, who died unmarried in 1834, aged ninety-nine; but I cannot
discover that either of the other bishops of that family had a daughter
Elizabeth.

_Campvere, Privileges of_ (Vol. vii., pp. 262. 440.).--What were these
privileges, and whence was the term derived?
