 Auxilium meum ad alto.

No. 9. Brady. Party per pale : dexter side, barry of five ermine ; 



sinister side, a hand appaumee rising from a frill or cuff. 



No. 10. Brice. In bordure charged with a mullet, in dexter chief 

 (for cadency) a saltier : erect hand and dagger on wreath 

 over helmet in profile ; plain for esquire. 



No. 1 1. Browne. An imperial eagle, or eagle with two heads, which 

 severally look to the dexter and sinister. 



No. 12. Brown, alias Peilly. Party per pale: dexter side, per 

 bend, cotised wavey, charged with three lioncells passant 

 (for Brown) ; sinister side, two lions sinister rampant, 

 holding a hand appaumee (for Eeilly). Crest, an im- 

 perial eagle on wreath over helmet. 



Such would be the correct marshalling of these arms ; but 

 the sculptor, wanting space on the bend for the three lion- 

 cells, extended this charge across the entire width of the 

 shield, thus leaving but one sinister chief for the emblazon- 

 ment of the lions. The device for the helmet is so con- 

 ventional that I have copied it accurately. 



No. 13. Butler. Party per fesse indented: three covered cups; a 

 cross pate in nombril point.
