[Captain Grose shall interpret this Query. He says, "The Five Alls is a
country sign, representing five human figures, each having a motto. The
first is a king in his regalia, 'I govern all.' The second, a {503}

'I plead for all.' Fourth, a soldier in his regimentals, 'I fight for
all.' Fifth, a poor countryman with his scythe and rake, 'I _pay_ for
all!'"]

employed in a list of interments of some "common people," contained in
Browne Willis's account of Bangor Cathedral. What does it mean, and whence
is it derived?
