341. _En bon et poyer._--The family of Cockayne of Ashbourne, co. Derby,

used as a motto upon their seals, in the fourteenth century, the

following words, "En bon et poyer." This has been explained to mean,

"Boni est posse," or "Right is might." Can any of your readers suggest

anything to confirm or throw doubt on this interpretation?
