158. _Sacre Cheveux._--The motto of the arms of the family of _Halifax_
of Chadacre in Suffolk, and of Lombard Street, is--
"SACRE CHEVEUX."
It does not seem to bear allusion to the crest, a griffin, nor to any of
the charges in the coat, which I do not at the moment accurately
remember. If you will enlighten me as to the meaning and origin of the
motto, I shall be obliged.
