Notices to Correspondents.
J. S. S. (Leicester). THE CHAUCER MONUMENT. _It will require about 100l. to
make a complete restoration. Not one-half that amount has yet been
subscribed._
X. Y. Z. _The custom of_ "Swearing on the Horns at Highgate" _is very ably
treated by Hone_, Every-Day Book, vol. ii. p. 79 _et seq. It probably arose
from the graziers who put up at the Gate-house on their way to Smithfield,
and were accustomed, as a means of keeping strangers out of their company,
to bring an ox to the door as a test: those who did not like to be sworn of
their fraternity, and kiss its horns, not being deemed fit members of their
society._
W. R. M. _Will this correspondent favour us with another copy of his
Queries, which were received and intended for insertion, but have
apparently been omitted by some accident?_
A. W. H. _Our correspondent will find that his Query had been anticipated
in_ Vol. i., p. 336. _Its appearance then brought it a mass of Replies,
mostly of a very unsatisfactory kind. We delayed repeating the Query until
we could find leisure to condense those replies, so as to prevent our
correspondents furnishing us with information already in our possession. We
hope to do this next week._
