THE TOKENS OF CORNWALL. 43 



closely, in conjunction with Mr. H. S. Gill, it was found that the Bupposed 

 tub as closely resembled a wicker maund ; and that while the woman on the 

 right was apparently holding up a fish, her companion was stooping down 

 over the basket apparently packing another in. This would be so clear an 

 identification with the staple trade of St. Ives, in Cornwall, that the assign- 

 ment of both tokens to that town hardly admits of doubt. If the interpre- 

 tation of the device be correct it admits of none. 



61. 0. THOMAS . ANDREWS — A Bull \ 

 R. OF . SAINT . IVES . 1663 — T . E . A 



B.M. — Andrew and Andrews are local names of very common occurrence.

R. OF . SAINT . IVES — T . M . B

62. 0. ARON . BROWNE — An Anchor ' a 



R. OF . ST. . IVES . 1659 — A . B 



G. — This can hardly fail to belong to Cornwall. The anchor would have 

 been a device of little meaning in the Huntingdonshire town, but specially 

 appropriate in the Cornish. Browne is an old name in West Cornwall. 

 Moreover it was connected with the fish trade. Richard Browne, in 1695, 

 petitioned Lord Burghley to have the free enjoyment of his grant for curing 

 and packing fish in Devon and Cornwall. — "Lansdowne MSS." 78, art. 58. 



63. 0. HENRY . CORD ALL — The Haberdashers' Arms \ 



R. IN . ST. . IVES . 1658 — H . E . C 



G., B.M. — Cardell is peculiarly a Cornish name ; and there are Cardell's 

 yet in St. Erth, close to St. Ives. The change of the "a" to the "o", or 

 of the "o" to the "a" is nothing uncommon in connection with either 

 names or tokens. 



64. 0. EDWARD . HALLSEY — The Salters' Arms \ 

 R. IN . ST. . IVES . 1663 — E . H 



65. 0. EDWARD . HALLSEY — A Sugar Loaf a 



R. OF . ST. . IVES . 1667 — E . I . H 



G., B.M. — We may take it that these tokens were by the same issuer, 

 who married in the interim. I claim them with confidence for Cornwall. 

 The first bears the Salters' Arms, and it is a fact worth noting, that none of 

 the tokens given by Boyne for the counties around Hants, have this device 

 — Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, and Cambridge ; and that three of the 

 five Salters' Arms tokens given to Hants itself are open to more than a 

 doubt. Of four Salters' Arms tokens given to St. Ives, in Huntingdon, one, 

 that of John Ibbott, is, I think, correctly so identified, as the Ibbotts were an 

 old Quaker family in that county. Still even this is not certain, for the 

 name occurs also in West Cornwall. The other token of this kind is under 

 St. Neots, and that I cannot claim. It need hardly be pointed out that in a 

 town so largely engaged in the fish trade as our own St. Ives, salters may be 

 expected to have driven a thriving business. The arms occur also at Penryn. 

 Halsey is or was a Cornish surname, possibly connected with Halse, a name 

 specially associated with St. Ives. Joseph Halsey was ejected in 1662 from 

 the living of St. Michael Peukivil.
