_"The Red Cow" Sign, near Marlborough_ (Vol. viii., p. 569.).--Being

informed that Cromwell's old carriages, with the "Red Cow" on them, were

some years ago to be seen as curiosities at Manton near Marlborough;

Cromwell being a descendant of a Williams from Glamorgan, and the cow being

the coat of arms of Cowbridge; and the signs of inns in that county being

frequently {88} named "The Red Cow;"--will any of your readers oblige with

some account of the origin of "The Red Cow" as a sign; and what family has

now a claim to such as the family arms?
