_Penny-come-quick_ (Vol. viii., pp. 8. 113. 184.).--Your correspondents
on the subject of this name do not appear to be aware that there is a
place also so called in Ireland: a small public-house, and one or two
others, on the high road between Wicklow and Arklow, near the sea-shore,
three miles north of the latter town. In Taylor and Skinners Road Maps of
Ireland (1776), it is spelled "Penny-_con_-quick." I have been there, and
do not think that the site countenances H. C. K.'s ingenious etymology.
