Entries in the Ch. Ac. shew that the issuer, in 1663, was in 
conflict with the authorities for some reason, possibly religious.

Whatever the reason for J. Fisher’s absence from the City, he 
returned and resumed business, possibly in Cheap street, but as 
he was no longer a member of the Council, the Chamberlain in 
mentioning him in 1666, omits the prefix “ Mr.” 
“Tt paid John ffisher for monies dis- 
bursed about ye Armes per Order or — or —o03” 
A contemporary John Fisher, wife’s name Rebecca, kept an 
Inn known as the White Horse. The M. B. March 26th, 1649, 
records that a “Grant is made to John ffisher for 3 lifes in 
Tenem* called y® White Horse near y® Cross Bath—ffine 15 Li 
—and is to promise not to annoy his wife or grant will be void.” 
The last clause savors of comedy, but it was evidently complied 
with, for on December 31st a “ Lease is granted to John ffisher of 
the White Horse for 3 lives—ffine 15li ros” and in June, 1669, 
“Jo Fisher bids 40s to &c’’ “in y® house called ye white horse 
nowe in his posson—granted.” The Register of St. James’s 
Church records the burial of in ‘1672 July 9th John ffisher.”
