. A Short account of the ancient and modern state of the city and close of Lichfield. in the gardenof Mr Biddulplrs house. In 1635, Lord Brooke had determined to re-tire to America with Lord Say and Seal, and forthat purpose they had caused a small town to bebuilt, called by their joint names, Saybrooke. A gentleman who resided in this street, wasone day shewing Dr Johnson his aviary, jets-deaux, artificial rocks, &c, and asked him ifthey were not pretty deceptions, deceptions, Sir! replied the moralist, a deception is a lie, v 148 MINSTER POOL. and I hate a lie under any form whatever. Quonians lane is on the east side of Darn, street, where the Abbot of Halesowen had lands;in 1535 it extended nearly to the pool of theBishops, called Stowe pool. Dame Oliver, the school mistress of Johnson, lived at the corner house next Quonians lane. The Minster pool seems to have furnishedpart of the stone for the Cathedral, and fortifica-tion of the Close; on cleansing- it a few years ago, cannon balls, and fragments of shells were found, also a JMisericordia, * or grace sword* and a. * A sword or dagger which was used for the purpose offorcing oifpart of the armour of a fallen enemy, that he mighthe the more readily despatched. fcOAft STREET. 149 Malabar crease, which perhaps had been partof the plunder of the museum at Oxford. Trout of a large size have been taken in thispool; a brace caught by T. W. Greene, Esq., weighing fifteen pounds, one being nine, theother six pounds: the fishery belongs to thecorporation. The bridge or dam was erected by BishopLangton, who caused the streets to be paved, atthe expence of the inhabitants; there was adrawbridge at the end of the causeway, as appearsfrom several charges for repairs of the iron work, and locks; there is also a charge for breakingthe ice of the pool during the siege. The gravel walk by the pool side was madein 1771. Parallel with Sadler street is Boar or Borestreet, anciently called Borde, or Drapre street:at the top of this street
