WARRINGTON, (Lancashire) 136 cm. 182. mm. from London, has a fine stone-bridge, the last, over the Mersey, leading into Cheshire, and is a pretty large, neat, old-built, but populous and rich T. with a considerable Mt. on W. noted for Lamprey, and all sorts of fish, flesh, corn, cattle, &c. the privilege of which Mt. was obtained of Edward I. by its Lds. the Butlers. It gives title of Earl to Geo. Booth Ld. Delamere. The malt made here is so good, that the ale brewed with it is said to be not inferior to the best in England. 'Tis full of good country tradesmen, and has a particular Mt. every week for the linen called huckaback, the mf. of its neighbourhood, and 'tis said that 500 l. worth, or more, of it is sold every Mt.-day. Twenty-four poor boys are taught and cloathed here, out of an estate given by Peter Leigh of Lyme, for building Trinity chapel and a school here. Some of the boys are taught grammar, till they are old enough for apprenticeship, and then they have a bible, common prayer book, and a suit of cloaths given them. As this T. lies on the great road to Carlisle and Scotland, it has always been judged a pass of the utmost importance in a time of war or rebellion. In the r. are caught sturgeons, green-backs, mullets, seals, land-eels, lobsters, oysters, shrimps, prawns, the best and largest cockles in England, with other shell-fish, and muscles in such abundance, that they serve to manure the ground. The Fairs here are July 25, and Nov. 29.
