FOOTNOTES: [90] “In Oldborne.”--_1st edition._ [91] Cowell, in his _Law Dictionary_, says, “Bolting is a term of art used in Gray’s Inn, and applied to the bolting or arguing of _moot_ cases.” He endeavours to show that the bolting of cases is analogous to the _boulting_ or sifting of meal through a bag. All readers of Shakspeare must be familiar with the use of the word in the latter sense. OF ORDERS AND CUSTOMS Of orders and customs in this city of old time, Fitzstephen saith as followeth: “Men of all trades, sellers of all sorts of wares, labourers in every work, every morning are in their distinct and several places: furthermore, in London, upon the river side, between the wine in ships and the wine to be sold in taverns, is a common cookery, or cooks’ row; there daily, for the season of the year, men might have meat, roast, sod, or fried; fish, flesh, fowls, fit for rich and poor. If any come suddenly to any citizen from afar, weary, and not willing to tarry till the meat be bought and dressed, while the servant bringeth water for his master’s hands, and fetcheth bread, he shall have immediately from the river’s side all viands whatsoever he desireth: what multitude soever, either of soldiers or strangers, do come to the city, whatsoever hour, day or night, according to their pleasures may refresh themselves; and they which delight in delicateness may be satisfied with as delicate dishes there as may be found elsewhere. And this Cooke’s row is very necessary to the city; and, according to Plato in Gorgius, next to physic, is the office of cooks, as part of a city.
