THE TOKENS OF CORNWALL. 45 



ST. NEOT. 



Here again there is confusion between Huntingdon and Cornwall, unless 

 the tokens which bear the name in the jDOssessive, St. Neots, are all clearly 

 assignable to the former. 



73a. 0. THOMAS . ANNis . OF — The Apothecaries' Arms \ 



B. SAINT . NEOTTS . 1667 — HIS HALF-PENY 



Given by Boyne to Hunts and probably correctly. Still the point is not 

 clear, for Annis is a West Country name. 



73b. 0. THOMAS . HANCOCKE — A Frying Pan . t . H | 



B. OF . SAINT . NEOTS . 1667 — HIS HALF-PENY 



Also assigned to Hunts ; but I am disposed to claim it for Cornwall, 

 seeing that Hancock is such a common name even new in the neighbourhood 

 of Liskeard and St. Neot. Edward Hancocke, of Menheniott, was sent to 

 Bodmin gaol as a Quaker in 1662. 



74. 0. WALTER . HODGE . OF . ST. — A Shuttle \ 



B. NEOT . IN . CORNEWALL — W . E . H 



Bod. 



ST. MA WES. 



75. 0. WILL . KNAPTON . AT . s. MAWES — The Vintners' Arms ^ 



R. IN . CORNWALL . 1666 — W.S.N 



Bod. — The substitution of n for k on the reverse was probably a phonetic 

 blunder. 



SALTASH. 



76. *0. JOHN . FOSTER .OF — An Anchor | 



R SALTE . ASH . 1670 — HIS HALF-PENY 

 Tutet's MS.— It is a singular fact that all the Saltash tokens are half-pence. 



77. 0. CHRISTOPHER . STEPHENS .IN — A Boat with passen- 



gers ^ I 



B. Saltaish . His J . 1667 (in three lines across the field) 



G, — Was not Stephens the ferryman ? The ferry at Saltash was anciently 

 one of great importance and apparently emolument. It was granted by 

 Edward the Black Prince, in 13i8, to one of his followers in consideration 

 of his services, and Ms disfigurement by the loss of an eye in battle. — 

 Worth's " Hist. Plymouth," p. 22. 



78. 0. PETER . STEPHENS . OF . 1667 — A Ship I 

 B. SALTASH . IN , CORNWELL — HIS HALF-PENY
