NECO.724.021
30 Nov-7 Dec 1724:21 (175)
On Tuesday the first of this instant in the evening, thirty-
two principal barbers of this place, assembled at the Golden
Ball, with a Trumpeter attending them, to debate some
important articles relating to their occupation; where it
was propos'd, that they should raise their shaving from 8 to
10s per quarter, and that they should advance 5s on the
price of making common wiggs, and 10s on their tye ones. It
was also propos'd, that no one of their faculty should shave
or dress wiggs on Sunday mornings for the future, on penalty
of forfeiting 10 pounds for every such offence: From whence
it may fairly be concluded, that in times past such a
practice has been too common among them.
