P. 156. Mr. Macmath has called my attention to a ballad on the story of Child Owlet by William Bennet in The Dumfries Monthly Magazine, II, 402, 1826. This piece, called 'Young Edward,' "is founded upon a tradition still current in the district in which Morton Castle is situated." Its quality is that of the old-magazine ballad.
