The first paid night watchmen were not provided until 1758.
The watchmen on their routes always paid par- ticular attention to the market houses, in which dis- orderly persons were wont to gather. Those who lived in the neighborhood of the markets frequently had bitter cause for complaint by reason of the presence of these disturbers of the peace. 134 MORE WAYS OF COLONIAL DAYS But there was no thought of doing away with the market houses that furnished lodging places for these night prowlers. ...For the markets were too important a factor in Philadelphia's life and comfort. ^ They dated from the beginning of the city.
One of the earliest references to these useful in- stitutions is in the Regulations adopted for the markets in 1693. This curious document read: "That The place ffor y e Markett be in y e High Street where y e Second street Crosses it and in no other place ~ "That y e Markett be kept There Two days in y" week weekly viz Wednesday and Saterday "That all sorts of Provision brought to this towne to sale, viz fflesh, ffish, tame fowl Eggs butter Cheese herbs, ffruits roots &c: shall be sold in y 6 aforesaid Markett place, and in Case any of the aforesd Provisions should Come to the Towne of Philadelphia on other days that are not Markett days yett that they be sold in y e Market under the Same Circumstances regulation and forfitures as upon y e Days on w ch the Markett is appoynted.
