Hi John,
I have searched several books regarding the motto without any success. I think that you will have to take it to a Latin translator to find out its meaning.

With the crest of a rampant lion ducally gorged holding a mullet in the dexter paw - I have searched through about 6,000 different crests [twice, just to make sure] used in British armory and can find no rampant lions holding mullets. However, I did come across three DEMI rampant lions holding mullets in different positions. Of those three, I can only identify one as belonging to any specific family. I have scanned images found << http://uk.f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/gjks99/lst?.dir=/HCA+Mes... >> - sorry, but none are ducally gorged. I'm afraid I don't know where to go from here - hopefully someone else reading this message board may be able to help - crossed fingers on that!

Rgds,
