335. Jacobus Creusius (or Crucius).

—Jacobi Creusii Theologi et Medici, Frisii, Victimas Humanas. I should be greatly obliged by any information respecting the author, or the book, which I find so mentioned in a MS. of 1677.

S. W. RIX.

Beccles.

336. Clekit House.

—In the will of John Buttery of Bury, 1557, is this item:

"My capitall mesuage, with the maltinge house and the tenement called Banyards, with all the gardaines, yards, and close, to them belonginge,—except the ij tenements called the Clekit House."

What is the meaning of Clekit? In the E.-Anglian dialect, clicket is "to chatter." Phillips has "CLICKET, the knocker of a door, but Chaucer uses it for a key."
