Main St., Near Foster Road I Tradesmen Protested When They First Appeared In London. In a letter dated April 1, 1639. Mr. Garrard, writing to the Earl of Straf ford. says: “Here is one Captain Bally. He hath been a sea captain, but now lives in London, where he tries experi ments. He hath erected according to his ability some four hackney coaches, put his men In a livery and appointed them to stand at the Maypole in the Strand, giving them Instructions at what rate to carry men Into several parts of the town, where all day they may be bad. “Other hackney men seeing this way. they flocked to tbe same place and per formed their journeys nt the same rate, so that sometimes there are twenty of them together, which disperse up and down.” Citizen shopkeepers bitterly com plained of this, saying: “Formerly when ladles and gentle men walked In the streets there was a chance of customers, but now they whisk past In the coaches before our apprentices have time to cry out. ‘What d'ye lack?”’ The word cab, a contraction of cabri olet, was not used until 1823.—London Standard.
