_Judas Cup_ (Vol. ii., p. 298.).--In the _Ancient Monuments, Rites, and
Customs of Durham_, published by the Surtees Society, we have the following
account of "Judas Cup" in the refectory, which is described as--
"A goodly great mazer, called Judas Cup, edged about {86} with silver
and double gilt, with a foot underneath it to stand on, of silver and
double gilt, which was never used but on Maunday Thursday at night in
the Frater House, where the prior and the whole convent did meet and
keep their Maunday." (p. 68.)
I send this with reference to the mention of the "Judas Bell" and "Judas
Candle" in your 2nd Volume, p. 298.
