34 THE TOKENS OF CORNWALL.

8. 0. BENIAMIN . PYNDER — The Mercers' Arms. ^ 



R. IN . SMYTHICK . 1665 — B . P 



T.M. — This is placed by Mr. Boyne under Smethwick in Staffordshire ; 

 but unless there were two Benjamin Penders, father and son, it is simply a 

 variety of the preceding ; if so, Pender became a widower, for his wife's 

 initial is here omitted. Smithwick or Smithicke was the old name of Fal- 

 mouth, which it bore until the year before the borough was incorporated in 

 1660 ; and which was retained, partially at least, for some time afterwards. 

 The harbour had been called Falmouth for centuries. 



9. 0. HENRY . PENIELL . AT . Y^ — Seven Stars. \

 B., G. — There is still a " Seven Stars " at Falmouth. 



10. 0. MiCHAELL . RVSSELL — Three escallops. ^ 



R. IN . SMITHICKE — M . A . R 



T.M., Mr. Christie. — Boyne assigns this token to the Staffordshire 

 Smethwick, varying the spelling of the name and place. C. S. Gilbert 

 ("Cornwall," vol. ii, pp. 257, 794), gives a chevron between three escallops 

 as the arms of Eussell of Falmouth. Michael Eussell, who in Aug. 1705, 

 was in his 86th year, was a French refugee, and, according to Gilbert, then 

 of Bideford. Michael Eussell, a physician, was Mayor of Truro in 1736.

 marriage with a sister of the last heir male of the Treffry family, the present 

 owner of Place descends (Lysons, p. cliv). Peter Toller, merchant, was 

 buried in Fowey Church, Feb. 1667.
