[Communicated by Mr. Longstaffe.]
Johnny tuth' Bellas daft was thy poll,
When thou changed Bellas for Henknoll.
This saying, as given by Surtees, is still remembered near Bellasis, and
is preferable to Hutchinson's version of it from the east window of the
north transept of St. Andrew's Auckland church, where he says, "are
remains of an inscription painted on the glass; the date appears 1386;
beneath the inscription are the arms of Bellasys, and in a belt round
them the following words:
Bellysys Belysys dafe was thy sowel,
When exchanged Belysys for Henknowell."
