Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...- College of Arms, E.C. "Sir, "I have made a prolonged search for the crest--' a demi-centaur gules '--enamelled upon the broken sleeve-link which you showed to me yesterday, and find it was confirmed in 1623 at the Visitation of Shropshire to William Le Maizey of Stoke-upon-Terne in that county. No pedigree of any of his descendants has since been registered here, so that 1 am quite unable to say whether any one is now entitled to use it. "Yours faithfully, Herald." "Not much good for purposes of identification, is it?" said Parkyns. "It isn't often we get anything out of them that helps. Their stuff is too antiquarian for us." Yardley laughed.

Showing him the broken cuff-link, Yardley asked if he could say to whom the crest belonged. "Not off-hand," was the answer. "You'll have to ask at the College, but I can tell you who uses it. Of course there may be others, but I only know of its being used by a parson down in Warwickshire named Meysey. I've only seen it that once. It's such a curious crest, I am sure I should remember it if I had come across it elsewhere." They left the office, and Parkyns remarked that they didn't seem very much nearer the mark.
