 from No. 181 in the details of the reverse. 



183. This token of 1666, also by the issuer of No. 181, 



should be " Sheerborne," and differs from the two 

 former specimens in the shape of the mortar and

Stalbridge. 



O. Theophilus Collins = Three cloves. 



r 



R. of Stalbridge. i669 = rp^j- 



This farthing token has not hitherto been recorded, save by 

 the writer in 5. & D. N. &= Q., Vol. XL, p. 37. The register 

 of Stalbridge throws no light upon the issuer, probably owing to 

 the fact that it dates only from 1690. The transcripts at Salisbury 

 have not yet been examined. A tablet in the nave of Stalbridge 

 church, mentioned by Hutchins, records the death of Temperance 

 Collins in 1666. (Plate 14.)
