Q.
Ancient Timber Town-halls (Vol. v., pp. 257. 295. 470.).—During a visit to Sudbury in Suffolk in 1828, I was much struck with the old quaint-looking timber building used for corporate purposes, called the Moot Hall; I made a rude pen-and-ink sketch of the principal front. On a subsequent visit I found this building was standing, but that it had ceased to be used, a new town-hall having been erected. Since then I hear that the Moot Hall has been pulled down and its site thrown into the market-place. If I recollect rightly, the principal window of twelve lights was unglazed.

Johnny Crapaud (Vol. v., p. 439.).—When the French took the city of Aras from the Spaniards, under Louis XIV., after a long and a most desperate siege, it was remembered that Nostradamus had said:
"Les anciens crapauds prendront Sara.
The ancient toads shall Sara take."
