286 THE COMMON SEALS OF CORNWALL. 
tution. One shews a castle with central tower embattled, and 
lower ones on each side, domed. The legend is defaced but 
SIGUE VIM aie aeae CORNVB can be deciphered. There 
is another legend on each side of the castle in the field, apparently 
PRINCEPS CAROLAN. The other and still older one bore 
the triple castle without the inner legend; and the other letters 
are imperfect. 
Priory.—Circular 18 diam. Device: a rude church with 
central tower. Legend: SIGILLV. ECCLE. SCI. STEPHANI. DE. LAN- 
This is figured by Oliver [‘ Monasticon,” p. 23.] _ The impression 
attached to the surrender is perfect so far as the device goes, but 
the legend is defective. 
St. LEONARD LEPER House.—This leper house was removed 
from Launceston to Gillmartin [“ Monasticon,” p. 22]. The seal 
figured by Lysons [‘‘ Cornwall,” p. exxxv] is vesica shaped ; Device, 
St. Leonard half-length under a Gothic Canopy. Legend : sIGILLUM 
HOSPITALE SCI LEONARDI: DE INTAQVVS (2). 
LISKEARD. 
BoroucHu.—This borough has been represented since Edward 
I. and apparently was chartered even earlier. Seal vesica-shaped, 
2 in. x 12 in.; Device: a fleur de lis; two birds upon the arms, 
two annulets over; below on each side a feather. Legend: [a 
rose] SIGILLUM. COMMVNE. BVRGI. DE. LISKEARD. This 
is a modern reproduction of an older seal which was produced at 
the Herald’s visitation in 1573. The birds are there described as 
martlets ; Browne Willis erroneously terms them Cornish choughs. 
“LOOE, EAST. 
BoroucH.—East Looe, in conjunction with Fowey, sent a 
shipowner to a council at Westminster in the reign of Edward I, 
but was not entrusted with the privileges of Parliamentary 
representation until the reign of Edward VI; or incorporated 
municipally until the 13th Elizabeth. It ceased to be represented 
in 1832, but retains its corporate privileges. Seal circular, 1 in. 
diameter. Device: ship with two men on board; on the side of 
ship three shields charged with 3 bendlets, the arms of the once 
famous family of Bodrugan. Legend 5S’: COMMVNETATIS: 
DE: LOO. [Figured Lysons “Cornwall,” p. exxxvil].
