6. Joane NichoUs, wid. 7. Margaret Grisell, wid. 8. Margaret Hiscoxe, wid. 9. Join Nutte, per uxorem. Early in the next century, viz., in December, 1708, the Corporation were of opinion that the large number of alehouses in the City constituted " an evil seriously and generally felt." The result of this resolution was that during the next two years a considerable number of alehouse licences were refused, after which the Town Council passed a vote of thanks to the Mayor and Magis- trates for red...ucing the number of such licences in the City to 40, which the Corporation con- sidered sufficient for the accommodation of the public. The following list of the names of public houses for which licences were granted in Salisbury during the XVIII. century is compiled from the Corporation records and other sources. It shows that, in addition to the 40 alehouses, there were over 50 inns established in the City during this period, many of them being important hostelries and coaching houses. It will be noticed that there are more than 40 names of alehouses in- cluded in the list, but in those days it was not an uncommon thing for a new tenant to change the name of a house when he took possession, so that the same house may appear under two or three different names during a period such as that included in the list.
