At this time, the lord mayor, recorder, and other magistrates, did so efTectually exert themselves in putting- the laws in execu- tion against vice and immorality, that, at the assizes then held for the city of London, there was not one criminal to be tried ; the reason whereof is set forth in the following letter from Willian Fleetwood, recorder of London, to the lord treasurer, thei u 2 292 HISTORY OF LONDON.
with the court at Buxton, viz. " The only cause that this refor- mation takeihso goo
...d effect here about London, is, that when, by order, we have either justly executed the law, or performed the council's commandment, we were wont to have either a great man's letter, a lady's ring, or some other token from such other inferior persons, as will devise one untruth or other to accuse us of, if we perform not their unlawful requests. The court is far off; here we are not troubled with letters, neither for the reprieve of this prisoner, nor for sparing that fray-maker. These secreta- ries, chamber-keepers, and solicitors in the court, procure many letters from their lords and ladies upon untrue suggestions ; the which letters do great hurt." In 1576, upon digging the well in Leadenhall-street, wherein the present pump is placed, near the end of Lime-street, about the depth of thirteen feet, upon the virgin earth, was discovered a hearth built of Roman bricks, with charcoal thereon ; but what use the said hearth was appropriated to is unknown.
