gent, Wat Tyler, in Smithfield, in the presence of King 

 Eichard the Second. His dagger is carefully preserved 

 among the archives of the Company, and the event used 

 formerly to be commemorated in city pageants during the 

 mayoralty of a fishmonger. Henry the Sixth united all 

 the branches of the trade in one, and incorporated them 

 under the general name of ' the Fishmongers of Lon- 

 don.' ' 



The arms of the salt-fishmongers were — gules, three 

 crossed keys saltierwise, or, on a chief azure, three dol- 

 phins embowed argent ; they are emblazoned in a splen- 

 did stained glass window in the north transept of Can- 

 terbury Cathedral. The stock-fishmongers have for 

 arms — azure, two sea luces in. saltier proper, with coro- 

 nets over their mouths or : the fish here intended is the 

 merlucius. 



These companies had no less than sis haUs for the 

 transaction of business, — two in Old Fish-street, two in 

 New Fish-street, and two in Thames-street : they were 

 under the patronage of St. Peter, and were benefactors 

 to many different churches. Formerly they maintained 

 three chaplains, who assisted at their funerals; the 

 superb ornamental pall used on these occasions is yet 

 preserved.
