The Shield of Arms of Sir Patrick Nisbet, Baronet of Nova Scotia. 
The Shield of Arms of Sir George Ogilvie, of Barras, Baronet of 
Nova Scotia, gives an example of the Arms of Nova Scotia borne in a 
Sinister Canton. 
“ Argent, a Lion passant, Guardant, Gules, Crowned with an Im- 
perial Crown, holding in his Dexter paw, a Sword, Gules, in Pale, Hilted 
and Pomelled Or, in the Dexter chief point a Thistle proper, ensign’d 
with a Crown of the last and in the sinister the Badge of Nova Scotia, 
as a Knight Barronet.” 1° 
Baronets of Nova Scctia are all entitled to Supporters as incidental 
to their hereditary dignity, for “if Supporters be distinctive of, and ap- 
propriate to those grades of hereditary rank theretofore existing in the 
State, namely the Peers; and that Baronets are to be adjudged ‘in all 
things relating to privilege and other matters by the same rules, laws, 
and customs by which other degrees of dignity hereditary are ordered and 
adjudged,’ then it follows that Supporters legitimately appertain to the 
Order of Baronets. This was the conclusion of Lord Lyon King of 
Arms when he assigned Supporters to the Nova Scotia Baronets.” *
