Opi Boswell. Wanselo, or Anselo. I was once of the opinion that this name was originally Lancelot, but as Mr. Borrow has found Wentzlow, _i.e._, Wenceslas, in England, the latter is probably the original. I have found it changed to Onslow, as the name painted on a Romany van in Aberystwith, but it was pronounced Anselo. Pastor-rumis. Spico. Jineral, _i.e._, General Cooper. Horferus and Horfer. Either Arthur or Orpheus. His name was then changed to Wacker-doll, and finally settled into Wacker. Plato or Platos Buckland. Wine-Vinegar Cooper. The original name of the child bearing this extraordinary name was Owen. He died soon after birth, and was in consequence always spoken of as Wine-Vinegar,--Wine for the joy which his parents had at his birth, and Vinegar to signify their grief at his loss. Gilderoy Buckland. Silvanus Boswell. Lancelot Cooper. Sylvester, Vester, Wester, Westarus and 'Starus. Oscar Buckland. Dimiti Buckland. Liberty. Piramus Boswell. Goliath. Reconcile. Octavius. Justerinus. Render Smith. Faunio. Shek-esu. I am assured on good authority that a gypsy had a child baptize
