NOTES AND QUEKIES. 



[2'"i S. No 41., Oct. 11. '56. 



Armorial (2"* S. ii. 269.) r— Arms, Gules, a 

 cbevron, vaire, between three crescents, arn;ent. 

 Crest, a stag's head couped at the neck and af- 

 frontee, gu. attired, or. 



These are the arms of Goddard, an ancient 

 North Wilts family. They occur in the Heralds' 

 Visitation of Wiltshire of 1565 (Harleian MS., 

 No. 1111. p. 60.), and on two monuments in 

 Ogbourne St. Andrew Church, erected in 1655 

 and 1687, and are still borne by Major Nelson 

 Goddard of Clyffe Manor, Ambrose Goddard, 

 Esq., M.P., of the Lawn near Swindon, and the 

 other members of that family. 



As the tinctures of the trefoils, torteaux, and 

 chevron are not clearly defined in the second 

 coat described by T. B., it may be that of Rowe, 

 which is given in Glover's Ordinary of Arms, 

 temp. Charles II. (as printed in Edmonson's Com- 

 plete Body of Heraldry), as follows : 



" Ar. on a cliev. az. betw. 3 trefoils slipped party per 

 pale gu. and vert, as many bezants. 



" Crest, a buck's head couped, gu. attired, or. 



The Stuart arms are or, a fesse chequy az. and 

 arg., but it is quite possible that, as the tinctures 

 in the second coat are not clearly defined, the or 

 in the impaled coat may have faded, and may now 

 appear to be argent. F. A. Carkington. 



Ogbourne St. George. 



The first coat belongs to one of the Wiltshire 

 families of Goddard, and should be blazoned thus : 

 Gules, a chevron vair, between three crescents, 

 argent. The crest is : a stag's head, affrontee, 

 couped at the neck, gules, attired, or. 



Tlie Goddards of Hampshire and Berkshire 

 bore : Azure, five fusils in fess, between three 

 eagles' heads erased, or. And on a monument at 

 Ogbourne St. Andrew, Wilts, to William God- 

 dar4 of that place, Gent, (circa 1650), the above 

 two coats are quartered on one shield. 



I have observed lately that one or two of your 

 correspondents have spoken of the indistinctness 

 of tincture in the torteauxes they have been de- 

 scribing. I would remark that, if they are cor- 

 rect in making use of the word to?-teaux, the 

 colour must necessarily be gules, in the same way 

 that roundles of or, argent, azure, vert, sable, 

 tenne purpure and sanguine, are respectively 

 called bezants, plates, hurts, pomeis, pellets, 

 oranges, golpes, and guzes. Patonck. 



A Green Rose (P' S. xii. 481.) — Mr. Mitchell, 

 •whose nursery grounds upon Pittdown, near Uck- 

 field, in Sussex, are well worth visiting, has ex- 

 hibited several fine specimens of this curious rose 

 in the course of this year. R. W. B.

Caption to Coin Collectors. Wc have received from Mr. Wiiklan, 

 the well-known dealer in Coins, tlie following letter: 



'Sir 



" 42. Bedford Street, Strand, 



" As I happen to know that most of the country coin collectors take 

 in your interesting paper, will you allow me to make it the inetiium to 

 put country numismatists on their guard against certain ' false coins ' 

 now being offered for sale. 



" Very few cabinets can boast a good Richard III. Hnlf-groat and 

 Penny with the boar's head mint mark ; and these are the coins selected 

 by the forger on this occasion. 



" The Half-groat reads — obverse : ' Ricard di Gra Rex Angl Z Fra ; ' 

 Mint mark, hoar's head; reverse,' Civitas London.' Tlie Penny reads 

 on the obv. : ' Ricar D G Rex Ang Fra ; ' rev., ' Civitas London." 



" These forgeries are well made and much worn ; agood price is asked. 



" I shall be happy if this be the means of saving the pockets of provin- 

 cial collectors. 



" Yours, faithfully, 



" Peter Whelan.
