4, 1675, p. 1 ; and of the 'Canterbury Flying Stage Coach' in ibid. , July 4, 1692, p. 2. 124 Roads and Road Legislation, 1500-1750 [chap. several papers written by this man, who was a member of the Inner Temple, present the case as viewed by the most radical opponents of the coaches^. He said that the extensive use of this means of travel would be detrimental to the watermen by taking away their living; that it would make men effeminate; and that it would destroy the breed of horses 2. The int...roduction of the stage coaches furnished a means by which gentry and ladies could get from their estates in the country into the city, where they could spend extravagantly, and since he regarded this as contrary to their good he thought the coaches should be suppressed^. Then, too, because travellers by stage coaches would spend more time on the road and less in the inns, there would be less consumption of beer, ale, and other provisions, and this would be detrimental to the interests of the innkeepers, and to the national treasury*.
