[101] “A Boar’s head, and on a chief indented 3 mullets, which are probably the arms of James Hasmall, who was abbot of the monastery at this time.”--_Descriptive Catalogue of Ancient Scottish Seals_, by Henry Laing, No. 1090. Laing gives no authority for this supposition; while in the Workman MSS. the same arms are assigned to Schewall of that Ilk. Edward Schewall was abbot in 1526 and 1528. When he died is not known. So that it is quite as likely that the arms on the sixth shield are those of Abbot Schewall as that they refer to Abbot Hasmall.
