292 THE COMMON SEALS OF CORNWALL. 
the Royal Institution ; which also contains an impression of the | 
old seal of the Lord Warden of the Stannaries; and of a large 
seal of the customs of the Duchy of the 14th century. The seal 
of the Lord Warden resembles that at present in use. Circular, 1-3; 
in. diameter, device: a castle flanked by two towers, and with a 
curious fan-like embattled upper structure. In front of gate a 
lion couchant. Legend: SIGILL. DUCAT. CORNUB. 
The customs seal has as its device the arms of “‘ Henry Prince 
of Wales and Duke of Cornwall” quartering lions and fleur de lis. 
The matrix was purchased in 1824 by a brazier of Liskeard and 
was probably made in 1399 when Henry of Monmouth was created 
Prince of Wales [‘‘Gent. Mag.” 1825, pt. 2, p. 497.] The legend 
is S. henrict princtpts re all’ Duc cornub & comit cestr’ 
be officio cokettt Ducatus cornudte. 
The tin coinage used to be performed by a hammer which pore 
on its face the arms of the Duchy—the well known lion rampant 
in a border bezanty. i 
TINTAGEL. 
Boroueu.—Tintagel alias Dundagil, alias Bossiney, alias Tre- 
vena, dated its privileges from Richard, King of the Romans, but _ 
was incorporated and enfranchised by Edward VI. It ceased to 
be represented 1832, and the corporation did not long survive. 
Its insignia are now scattered ; and the seal is in the possession of 
Mrs. Symons of Bossiney. “It is circular, 13 in. diam., device: a 
castle standing on the sea, with steps descending thereto from the 
main entrance. Two towers flank this entrance, and there is a 
larger one domed behind ; all connected by an embattled circular 
wall. Legend: (KR SIGILLVM. MATORIS. ET. BURGIENSIV’ 
BVRGIL. DE. TINTAOIEL.* 
TREGONY. 
BorouGH.—This borough sent representatives twice in the 
reign of Edward I, but then intermitted, as Browne Willis has it, 
until Elizabeth; from which date it continued to exercise the 
electoral franchise until it found a place in schedule A of the 
Reform Act. It was incorporated by James I, but is also denuded 
of that vestige of its former importance—a corporation. The seal 
* The O instead of a G in Tintagel is apparently an Engraver’s blunder.
