In the year 1701 Mr. Guy built and furnished at his own expence, three wards on the north side of the outer court of St. Thomas’s hospital, and gave to those wards 100_l._ a year, for eleven years immediately preceding the foundation of his hospital. Some time before his death, he removed the frontispiece of St. Thomas’s hospital, which stood over the gateway in the Borough, and erected it in the place where it now stands, fronting the street: he also enlarged the gateway; rebuilt the two large houses on its sides, and erected the fine iron gate between them, all at the expence of 3000_l._ To many of his relations he gave while living, a settled allowance of 10 or 20_l._ a year; and to others money to advance them in the world. At his death, he left to his poor aged relations the sum of 870_l._ a year during their life; and among his younger relations, who were very numerous, and his executors, he left the sum of 75,589_l._ He left the Governors of Christ’s hospital a perpetual annuity of 400_l._ for taking in four children annually, at the nomination of the Governors; and bequeathed 1000_l._ for discharging poor prisoners within the city of London, and the counties of Middlesex and Surry, who could be released for the sum of 5_l._ by which sum, and the good management of his executors, there were above 600 poor persons set at liberty, from the several prisons within the bills of mortality. _Maitland._ GUY’S _yard_.

HABERDASHERS, one of the twelve principal companies, was indifferently called Hurrers and Milliners; the latter from the merchandize in which they chiefly dealt, which came from the city of Milan in Italy: but they were incorporated by letters patent granted by King Henry VI. in the year 1407, by the style of _The_ _fraternity of St. Catharine the Virgin, of the Haberdashers of the city of London_. But at present they are denominated _The Master and four Wardens of the fraternity of the art or mystery of Haberdashers_. This company is governed by a Master, four Wardens, and ninety-three Assistants, with a livery of 342 members, who upon their admission pay a fine of 5_l._ _Maitland._ HABERDASHERS _Almshouse_ at Hoxton.
