_Steward Family_ (No. 21. p. 335.).--Though not an answer to his
question, "O.C." may like to be informed that the arms of the impalement
in the drawing which he describes are (according to Izacke's _Exeter_)
those which were borne by Ralph Taxall, Sheriff of Devon, in 1519. Pole
calls him Texshall. Modern heralds give the coat to Pecksall of
Westminster. If a conjecture may be hazarded, I would suggest that the
coat was a modification of the ancient arms of Batishull: a crosslet in
saltier, between four owls.
