The market was set up by the authority of Parlia ment (22 George II., cap. 49), but succumbed to the opposition of the trade at Billingsgate. Among the many powers obtained by the Trustees was that of registering fishing vessels and their cargoes at the Nore and Gravesend, so as to keep them under supervision on their way to Westminster. The vicissitudes of the enterprise are sufficiently reviewed in the Parochial Memorials of St. John, Westminster, pp. 500-502; but it may be added that the market, with its landing place, stalls, and other accessories, was held on the spot now covered by the St. Stephen's Club.] 2568 Register of Baptisms 2568A A book of miscellaneous entries, relating to bonds, charity properties, orphans and bastards, petty disbursements on account of charities, an imperfect list of churchwardens, collectors, overseers, &c., &c., of various dates between 2569 Workhouse, Admission and Discharge Books 1663-1669 1579 and 1651 1843-4 2573 Workhouse Master's Rules and Orders and MS. forms of Peti 2579 Taxes, Exchequer and King's Bench, Book of Offices, yearly salary and profits (duplicate) ... ... ... 1714 to 1726 29 2580 Taxes, Exchequer and King's Bench, Book of Offices, yearly Year.
