NOTES

omIrm-‘a cus-roms

1n the course of the centuries the north of Enland had gathered an extraordinary collection of cus- toms and lilfiwsiflflflhfi, now about obsolete, but in considerable part still extant in my childhood. some of thue were common to the whole of the country. but the most re- mlrkable of those which appeared to be restricted tn the south of Nortbumberiend and North Dur- ham, will form the subject of the present Note.

It was a popular belief along the North-east ooset of England that the precise time of death was de- pendent on the state of the tide. (Charles Dickens refers to such a belief in "David Copperfield." if. I em not mistaken.) This is s. very ancient superstition as the follow- ing extracts from certain Perish registers will show.

“The XIth daye of Mayo, A.D.. i505, at. VI of ye clocke‘ in the mornings, being full water, Mr. Hem-ye Mitford, . . . died at New- oastel, etc.”

“The XVII dale o1 Male, at XII of ye clock at noon, being low water. Mrs. Barbers Mitford died, etc."

Somewhere about sixty years ego s. curious incident occurred st Btranton in Durham County. The new vicar was standing in the churchyard, awaiting the arrival of a. funeral cortego, when to his surprise. the whole group who had arrived within a few yards of him, suddenly swerved and rnnde the circuit of the churchyard wall, west north and east: making the dia- tsnce five or six times greater than was necessary. After the funeral, the vicar asked the sexton what was
