You are desidered to meet many other NATIVES of this place on Tuesday y^{e} 11th day of April 1738 at Mrs Eliz. Grimstead’s y^{e} ANGEL AND CROWN, in y^{e} Upper Street, about y^{e} hour of One; Then and there w^{th} FULL DISHES, GOOD WINE AND GOOD HUMOUR to improve and make lasting that HARMONY and FRIENDSHIP which have so long reigned among us. _Walter Sebbon._ _John Booth._ _Bourchier Durrell._ _James Sebbon._ STEWARDS. N.B. THE DINNER will be on the table peremptorily at Two. _Pray pay the Bearer Five Shillings._ That same year, another Angel and Crown Tavern in Shire Lane obtained an unenviable notoriety, for it was there that a Mr Quarrington was murdered and robbed by Thomas Carr, an attorney from the Temple, and Elisabeth Adams. They were hanged at Tyburn, January 18, 1738. The ANGEL AND GLOVES at first sight seems a whimsical combination, but is easily explained when we advert to the woodcut above the shop-bill of Isaac Dalvy, in Little Newport Street, Soho, who, in the reign of Queen Anne, sold gloves, &c., under this sign, which simply represented two Cupids, each carrying a glove,--in fact, exactly the same conceit as that of the Herculanese shoemaker, noticed in a former chapter. It is more difficult to find a rational explanation for the ANGEL AND STILLIARDS. The Steelyard, or Stilliard, in Upper Thames Street, was the place where the Hanse merchants exposed their goods for sale, and was so called from the king’s _steelyard_, or _beam_, there erected for weighing the tonnage of goods imported into London.[392] Whether this sign represented a Cupid with such a weighing machine, or a view of the hall of the Hanse merchants, with a Fame flying over it, is now impossible to decide. It may be suggested that a variation of the well-known figure of Justice, with steelyards in place of the usual scales, was the origin. Be this as it may, the only mention we have found of the sign is in the following advertisement:-- “William Deval, at the ANGEL & STILLIARDS, in St Ann’s Lane, near Aldersgate, London, maketh Castle (Castille), Marble, and white Sope as good as any Marseilles Sope; Tryed and Proved and sold at very Reasonable Rates.”[393]--_Domestic Intelligencer_, January 2d, 1679. A few years later we find the ANGEL AND STILL noticed, as in the following advertisement:-- “A well-set NEGRO, commonly called Sugar, aged about twenty years, teeth broke before, and several scars in both his cheeks and forehead, having absented from his Master, whosoever secures him and gives notice to Benjamin Maynard, at the ANGEL AND STILL, at Deptford, shall have a Guinea Reward and reasonable charges.”--_Weekly Journal_, October 18, 1718. In this case the still was simply added to intimate the sale of spirituous liquors.
