_Corrupted Names of Places_ (Vol. v., p. 285.).--I beg to offer a few
additions to mispronounced names of places:
Rampisham Dorset Ransom
Beaminster Do. Bemmister
Portisham Do. Possum
Portishead Somerset Posset.
In Sussex the names of places ending in _ly_ are pronounced with the
accent on the last syllable; _e.g._ West Hoath_ly_, Helling_ly_, &c. In
Gloucestershire, a place written Newland is unexpectedly called Newlànd.
