362 JOURNAL OF THE PLYMOUTH INSTITUTION. 
of Oke above described. Crest, from behind a mount vert, the sun 
rising or, thereon a demi eagle displ., in its beak an oak slip fructed, 
all ppr. y being the crest of Oke. The dexter coat is that of Luc- 
combe, a family that nourished for a time at an early period in 
Cornwall, and then died out. From a communication we have 
had with the worthy alderman, we are able to say that he is not 
responsible for the anomalies perpetrated in his name. Taking no 
interest in the subject, and having no family, he did not care to 
trouble about a grant which would be only for his personal glorifi- 
cation ; consequently evil counsels had their way, with what result 
we have already seen. 
Passing from the interior to the exterior of the Guildhall, and 
going over to the Municipal Buildings on the north, we find in the 
great window of the Mayor's Parlour the arms of the See of 
Exeter, gu. a sword erect arg. hilt and pommel or, surmounted of two 
keys of the last in saltire ; the city of Exeter, per pale gu. and sa., 
a triangular castle with three towers or ; county of Cornwall, sa. 
fifteen bezants — 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Carved on the exterior of the 
Municipal Buildings we have a number of shields, concerning 
which, where they are simply the undifferenced coats of well-known 
local families, it is needless to do more than mention the names. 
Commencing from the east end of the north side, going to the west, 
and returning on the south side, we have the arms of Queen Vic- 
toria ; the four castles of the town ; a ship on a shield ; a tower ; a 
bord.(?); an eagle rising (Plympton); Morice of Werrington; Eogers, 
now Lord Blachford ; the device of Devonport ; Eliot, Earl of St. 
Germans ; Parker, Earl of Morley; Eussell, Duke of Bedford; Edg- 
cumbe, Earl of Mount Edgcumbe ; Courtenay, Earl of Devon, the 
three torteaux; Kaleigh, of Eardel, co. Devon; Trelawny, of Ply- 
mouth ; Hawkins, of Plymouth ; Strode, of Newnham ; Slanning, 
of Bickleigh ; See of Exeter ; Prince of Wales ; Queen Victoria ; 
Plymouth, the four castles and saltire ; gu. a pale lozengy erm., 
probably intended for Hele of Wembury, but they bore gu. a bend 
lozengy erm., a mullet arg. for difference, as may be seen on the 
Hele monument in Wembury Church ; gu. a fess or betw. three 
crescents arg. for (\) ; Drake, of Ashe ; az. three crescents, on a 
fess enhanced as many hurts, Harris, of Plymouth ; Woollcombe, 
of Plympton St. Mary, with the addition of a label in chief, the 
difference of the eldest son ; St. Aubyn, of Clowance. 
On the exterior of the Guildhall and the Western Law Courts,
