CUREOUS CUSTOM ON GUY FAWKES' DAY.—There is a
custom which has been upheld from time immemorial by
the Dean and Chapter of Durham on three days in the
year-40th January, 29th May, and sth November, the
anniversary of King Charles's Martyrdom, Royal Oak
Day, and Gunpowper Plot, which is pretty generally
known among the lads of this city as " push penny."
On these days the Chapter cause 20 shillings in copper
to be scrambled for in the college yard by the juvenile
citizens, who never fail to be present on these occasions'
Whence the custom has its origin we are unable to say.
Probably some of our readers can inform us. —D /wham,
