An Apology for not speaking the Truth.—Can any of your correspondents kindly inform me where the German song can be found from which the following lines are taken?
"When first on earth the truth was born,
She crept into a hunting-horn;
The hunter came, the horn was blown,
But where truth went, was never known."

Sir John Morant.—In the fourth volume of Sir John Froissart's Chronicles, and in the tenth and other chapters, he mentions the name of a Sir John Morant, Knight, or Sir John of Chatel Morant, who lived in 1390-6. How can I find out his pedigree? or whether he is an ancestor of the Hampshire family of Morants, or of the Rev. Philip Morant?
