MR. FOSS is, I believe, mistaken in supposing that all the serjeants

called at the same time have the same motto. That is the usual practice,

but it has not been invariably observed. Sir John Walter, Sir Henry

Yelverton, and Sir Thomas Trevor, were all called on the same day (May

10, 1 Car. I.). Sir John Walter and Sir Thomas Trevor gave the same

motto on their rings, and Sir Henry Yelverton gave rings with a

different motto. There are other instances of the like kind; that above

referred to I take from the only old law-book I have now at hand

(Croke's _Reports_).
