"N. & Q." the other day (Vol. viii., p. 464.) contained a curious tale of a
cat: will you insert as a pendent the following one of a dog? The
supposition that D. Julio was some obnoxious Frenchman protected by the
Government, seems necessary to account for the "teachyng a dogg frenche" in
front of his door constituting such a dire offence. His name occurs, if I
remember rightly, in Dr. Dee's _Diary_ (Cam. Soc.), but I have not the book
at hand to refer to. Perhaps some of your correspondents may inform me who
he was. The original is in the Lansdowne MS. (114. No. 8.) in the British
Museum; and the fact of its being amongst Lord Burleigh's papers shows that
the occurrence took place between 1571 and 1598, the respective dates of
his appointment as "l tresurer" and his death.
