# 250 Henry Martyn is listed by Leach as "traditional", and he quotes
a source in Child. # 16 and # 50 are not in Leach.

`Lord Bateman' doesn't appear in Simpson's survey of broadside
ballads, nor in Leach. According to the "Digital Tradition" website
it's Child # 53.

So Leach isn't exactly impressing me yet as a source of material not
already available in Bronson and Child...
