_Judas Bell, Judas Candle, &c._ (Vol. ii., p. 298.).--In the parish
accounts of Lambeth, the two following entries occur:--
"1516. To James Calcot for payntyng of Judas, 6d."
"1523. Paid for a staff for Judas crosse -- 4d."
I venture to add these to the instances cited by Mr. Walcott, hoping that
the slightly varied form may furnish a clue by which some of your readers
may be able to unravel the meaning of such allusions more satisfactorily
than any yet attempted.
