ONEY MARKET

TEE FISHMONGERS' COMPANY.—The company
of the Fishmongersis oneot tneoldest and wealthiest,
as it was formerly one of the most numerous and powerful,
f the ancient Liveries of London. Even as early as the days
of Edward 111. it was great and flourishing, equalling
the Goldsmiths in riches and the Merc,rs in numbers,
and carrying ,13 a keen rivalry with the Skinners,
whom the then fashion of wearing costly furs and
brought into what the old Fishmongers thought a pre•
mature and undeserved importance. That this rivalry
Was not at all an emulation of a friendly kind may be
easily believed when we mention that in one little difficulty
as to precedence, in Cheapsido, many of both companies
Were killed outright, and many more executed after-
Wards for their share in the desperate affray. Indeed,
e bitter was the feud that even the softening

the Balm n that shun the Thames, and the Fishmongers
still as of old, a great and wealthy corporation, cele-
brated for the maghificence of their banquets, and more UST-

Which their ample funds are employed in relieving the ne-
etssities of the less fortunate members of the Livery.
