Minor Queries with Answers.

_When Our Lord falls in Our Lady's Lap._--Seeing that Good Friday in this

year falls on Lady Day, may I beg to ask if any of your contributors could

inform me where the following old saying is to be met with, viz.:

"When Good Friday falls in a Lady's lap,

To England will happen some mishap,"

or to whom the prophecy (I hope a false one) may be attributed? I have seen

it some years since, and have lately been asked the origin of the saying.
