_Going the Whole Hog._--What is the origin of the expression "going the
whole hog?" Did it take its rise from Cowper's fable, _the Love of the
World reproved_, in which it is shown how "Mahometans eat up the hog?"
[Sigma].
_Innocent Convicts._--Can any of your readers furnish a tolerably complete
list of persons convicted and executed in England, for crimes of which it
afterwards appeared they were innocent?
[Sigma].
_The San Grail._--Can any one learned in ecclesiastical story say what are
the authorities for the story that King Arthur sent his knights through
many lands in quest of the _sacred vessel_ used by our Blessed Lord at His
"Last Supper," and explain why this chalice was called the "Holy Grail" or
"Grayle?" Tennyson has a short poem on the knightly search after it, called
"Sir Galahad." And in Spenser's _Faerie Queene_, book ii. cant. x. 53.,
allusion is made to the legend that "Joseph of Arimathy brought it to
Britain."
