paid a visit to the old House at the end of
Davidson's Entry and entered from Bank St.
(See p [page] [--]) Over the fire place of a room at
the N [ North] end of the first floor is a finely carved
mantlepiece. It measures 9' in length and
1'.8" in depth and extends considerably beyond
the present fireplace. In the centre is a
monogram formed of the letters DMC & sur:
:rounded by a wreath of foliage. To the
left of the wreath is an ornate shield charged with a
shake fork and in chief a mullet and to
the right a similar sheild bearing a crescent besant
between three mullets the arms of Murray
of Clairden to whom the house
formerly belonged (Note. At the time I sketched
the coat it appeared to me to be a crescent
between 3 mullets)
At the right end are the figures
16 and at the left 79. Along the top runs
the legend "Semper focus bonus est."
The thickness of the walls of the house is 3'.
