Court Leet, October 27^th, 1762, before Thomas Jackson (Mayor).

Jury

Presentment: —

1. Mrs Hamilton for not repairing a very bad Cawsey before her Door in the ffishergate.

2. The Bailiffes for a broken Platt at ffishergate Barrs.

3. _____ Barker for an old house near Brown Channel being very dangerous to pass by.

4. Mr John Gibson for a bad Cawsey before some old Houses near Mrs Jane? Entry in Friergate.

5. John Dickinson Cooper for a dangerous Cellar without Gates in Fryergate.

6. Mr Edwd Pedder for a bad Cawsey before his Dwelling House in the Fryergate.

7. The Bailiffes for a bad Road at the bottom of New-street and Angel Weind ; also a bad Road in the Back Lane.

In the latter half of the 17th century — circ. 1684 — Lord-Street, about the same length as it is at present, was called St. John's street ; in 1715 the name of it had been changed to New -street; and some time between 1715 and 1774 there was an extension of the street, westward, to where the north end of Anchor Weind joined Back-lane. This extension was done away with a few years ago to make room for some street and building improvements, &c., and the change reduced the thoroughfare to about its original length. — As to Angel Weind, there used to be a small passage between the north end of Molyneux square and Lord-street; until about 1828 this passage was in existence ; and as its position would be close to "the bottom of New-street," it is not improbable that such passage was that Weind.

8. Henry Brewer Senr for a Muck Midding at the Top of Back Weend.

9. The Bailiffes for a bad broken Cawsey at the Churchgate Barrs.

10. Mr Richard Butler for Mr Davis's, Mr Young's Cellars not being properly railed.

12. Mr Hornby for no Rails at John Nightingale's Cellar in the Market place.
