BEARING of a Stag, is used in respect of the state of his head, or the croches which he bears on his horns. If you be asked what a stag bears, you are only to reckon the croches, and never to express an odd number: as, if he have four croches on his near horn and five on his far, you must say he bears ten; a false right on his near horn: if but four on the near horn and six on the far horn, you must say he bears twelve; a double false right on the near horn.
