Minor Queries.
_The Words "Cash" and "Mob."_--In Moore's _Diary_ I find the following
remark. Can any of your numerous readers throw any light on the subject?
"Lord Holland doubted whether the word 'Cash' was a legitimate English
word, though, as Irving remarked, it is as old as Ben Jonson, there
being a character called Cash in one of his comedies. Lord Holland said
Mr. Fox was of opinion that the word 'Mob' was not genuine
English."--Moore's _Diary_, vol. iii. p. 247.
