names of the new rows of houses are chiefly taken from various members of the Royal Family and of the Borough Patrons, and others are derived from the owner of the lands, &c.; the exact time when the Town Marsh came into the possession of the Corporate Body cannot well be ascertained, it seems to have been leased and re-leased repeatedly-and to have been embanked up and walled, prior to the reign of Charles I., when it consisted of twenty acres and paid a quit rent. There has recently been erected a range of buildings expressly for the accommodation of the fish-mongers and dealers in pork, though the latter exhibited certain symptons of rebellion to the official ordonnance of the mayor, at its opening.
