THE COACa TO BRIGHTHELM STONE. 10 



London to Brightbelmstone (now called Brighton) 

 in a coach thus described : — 



" Lewes and Brighthelmstone — new machine 

 to hold four persons, by Charley, sets out by 

 the ' George Inn,' in theHaymarket, St. James's 

 at six o'clock in the morning, every Monday, 

 Wednesday, and Friday, in one day to the ' Star' 

 at Lewes, and the ' Old Ship' at Brighthelmstone, 

 and returns from there every Tuesday, Thurs- 

 day, and Saturday. Inside passengers to Lewes 

 to pay thirteen shillings ; to Brighthelmstone, 

 sixteen shillings. To be allowed fourteen 

 pounds weight of baggage, all above to pay 

 one penny per pound." 



The above was a great improvement upon a 

 coach previously drawn by six long-tailed black 

 horses, thus described : — 



" Batchelor's Old Godstone, East Grinstead, 

 and Lewes stage continues to set out every 

 Tuesday at nine o'clock and Saturday at five 

 o'clock from the ' Talbot Inn', in the Borough, 

 returning every Monday and Thursday. Children 

 in lap and outside passengers to pay half 

 price. Half of the fare to be paid at book- 

 ing. Performed, if God permit, by J. 

 Batchelor." 



I may here remind my readers that
