ufe of by homers, whereupon they lhave their horns. Grew. 
The hornets were a very ancient and confiderable frater¬ 
nity in the city of London fome hundred years ago. In 
the reign of Edward II. they complained to parliament, 
that by foreigners buying up the horns in England, they 
were in danger of being ruined, and their bufinefs loft to 
the nation. For this realon was made the flat. 6 Edw. IV. 
by which the fale of horns to foreigners, except fuch as 
the faid herners refufed, was prohibited ; and the wardens 
had power granted them to fearch all the markets in Lon¬ 
don, and twenty-four miles round, and alfo to infpect 
Stourbridge and Ely fairs, to prevent fuch praftices, and 
to purchal’e horns at ftated prices. The importation of 
unwrought horns into this country is alio prohibited. In 
1750, there were exported to Holland 514,500 lantern- 
leaves, befides powder-fialks. There was formerly a duty 
of twenty Ihillings a thoufand, under which in 1682 were 
exported 76,650; but in the reign of George I. this duty 
was taken ofF, and theie and all other manufactures made^ 
of horn may be exported free. The prefent company of 
horners were incorporated January 12, 1638; and confill 
of a mailer, two wardens, and nine affillants.
