az, two and three,
gu. a chevron ar. between three mallets or--are painted on the panels. As I
have no ordinary of arms at hand, I cannot ascribe this impalement; but
will trust to some more learned herald among your correspondents to
determine who the lady was? When her name, perhaps Moleyns or Molyneaux, is
ascertained, reference to a Baskerville pedigree would probably determine
the husband, and the precise date of the carriages, which could not have
belonged to the Protector.
O. Cromwell's arms were, Sable, a lion rampant ar. There were also two
families styled Williams _alias_ Cromwell: one of which bore, Gu. three
cheverons ar. between as many lions rampant or; the other, Sa. a lion
rampant ar., the same as Oliver's coat, and probably derived by him from
the Williams family.
I have wandered from "The Red Cow," but I will not omit to hazard an idea
for the consideration of GLYWYSYDD. Marlborough has changed its armorial
bearings several times; but the present coat, containing a white bull, was
granted by Harvey, Clarenceux in A.D. 1565. Cromwell was attached to
Cowbridge and its cow by family {307} descent; so he was to Marlborough by
congeniality of sentiment with the burghers. Query, Whether, in affection
to the latter, he granted to the town a new coat, some such as the
following: Gules, a bull passant argent, armed or, impaling a cow passant
regardant gules: and so might originate "The Red Cow" upon Granham Hill.
History is entirely silent upon this point; but if such a combination were
ever given to Marlborough, it is quite certain that Harvey's grant was
resumed at the Restoration. I have quite forgotten to remark, that there is
a suburb at Marlborough called Cowbridge--a fact which seems to strengthen
my hypothesis.
A cow may be borne by some name, but at present I only recollect that of
Vach: to which is accorded, Ar. three cows' heads erased sable. Bulls and
oxen occur frequently; as in Fitz-Geffrey, Cowley, Bull, Oxley, Oxcliffe,
Oxendon, &c. Bulls' heads belong to the families of Bullock, Hillesdon,
Fleming, Barbor, Frend, Gornay, Bullman, and Williams, a baronet, &c.

FOX-HUNTING.

As no answer to the Query on "Fox-hunting" has yet appeared in "N. & Q.," I
venture to send the following extracts from an article in the _Quarterly
Review_, March 1832, on "The Management of Hounds and Horses," by Nimrod.
