John Querdlyng, Nic Waleys, John Belagh, John Meg,
Sore shall him rewe
For they rule all the court with their lawes newe.’
(Blomefield, iii. 145.)
I doubt not ‘Curling’ is the modern representative of this name.
[603]. This name is not obsolete. Mr. Lower quotes a local rhyme thus—
‘Worthing is a pretty place,
And if I’m not mistaken,
If you can’t get any butcher’s meat,
There’s “hogs’ flesh” and “bacon.”’
