_An Heraldic Query._--Will any one of your contributors from Lancashire or
Cheshire, who may have access to ancient ordinaries of arms, whether in
print or in manuscript, favour me by saying whether he has ever met with
the following coat: Per _pale_, argent and sable, a fess embattled, between
three falcons counterchanged, belled or? It has been attributed to the
family of Thompson of Lancashire, by Captain Booth of Stockport, and an
heraldic writer named Saunders; but what authority attaches to either I am
not aware. Is it mentioned in Corry's _Lancashire_?
