LANGPORT, (Somerset) 100 cm. 129 mm. from London, is a well frequented T. on the Parrot, bet. Bridgwater and Crewkern. It
formerly gave title of Baron to Charles Visc. Fitzharding, and sent members to three Pts. 'Tis governed by a portreeve,
and a recorder. Here are lighters constantly fetching coals, &c. from Bridgwater; and it is a stage for the Taunton
waggon, which drops the goods here from London, to be carried farther by water. 'Tis observed in the Philosophical
Transactions, that eels are taken in vast plenty out of the holes of the banks of its r. in frosty weather. The Mt. here
is S. the Fairs on the 2d M. in Lent, June 29, Sept. 24, and Nov. 11.
