a Cornish Chough arg., beaked and legged gu. ; in the second, a text 
T.; in the third and fourth, a crescent, all of the third. These 
arms may be seen in the parish churches of Fowey and Ty wardreath. 
In the former church is a large canopied table tomb, with the re- 
cumbent effigy of Jonathan Eashleigh, of Menabilly, Esq., who 
died in May, 1675. Besides six smaller shields, there is at the top 
a large achievement, which is surmounted by a helmet and mantling, 
but no crest. Again, on the mural brass and hatchment of the late 
Mr. William Rashleigh, who died in 1871, the arms of Eashleigh 
impaling Stuart (Mr. Eashleigh having married the Honourable 
Catherine Stuart, eldest daughter of Eobert Walter, 11th Lord 
Blantyre) are surmounted by a helmet without a crest. At Tyward- 
reath is a monument and hatchment with Eashleigh impaling 
Hinxman of Ivychurch, and a tablet with Eashleigh impaling 
Pole. In no case is there a crest. At Luxulyan is a tablet for 
Sir J ohn Colman Eashleigh, first Baronet of Prideaux, which has a 
shield, quarterly, first and fourth, Eashleigh, second and third, 
Battie, impaling Williams. These again without a crest. 
The use of supporters is now confined to Peers, Knights of the 
Bath, and a very small number of untitled families, who use them 
by prescriptive right. Among the latter are the ancient local 
families of Carew of Haccombe, &c. ; Pole of Shute, Treffry of 
Place, near Fowey. Carew, Baronets of Haccombe, &c, have two 
heraldic antelopes, gules, horns and hoofs azure. Carew of Crow- 
combe Court, and Carew Castle, &c, have, on the dexter, a lion 
rampant sable, crowned or ; on the sinister an antelope gu., horns 
and hoofs az. The same supporters are used by the Carews of Bed- 
dington. The Pole-Carews of Antony bear on the dexter an ante- 
lope, as Carew of Haccombe, and on the sinister the gryphon of 
Pole, they being descended in the male line from Sir John Pole, 
Bart., of Shute, whose supporters are on the dexter a stag gu., 
horns and hoofs or. ; sinister, a gryphon az., armed and gorged 
with a coronet or. Treffry has for supporters on the dexter a savage 
man, wreathed about the loins with leaves vert, his right hand grasp- 
ing a thorn-tree torn up by the root all pr. ; sinister, a woman, also 
wreathed about the loins with leaves vert, her left hand resting on 
a long bow, and standing in a quiver of arrows. 
Of late examples of arms on shield or surcoat, upon sepulchral 
monuments, we have many in Devonshire, among which may be 
mentioned that of Eadulphus de Gorges at Tamerton Folio tt.
