1656 July 30. — The ordinary of the company of colliers, paviors, and carriage-men of Newcastle upon Tyne, bearing the date prefixed, appears to have been a mutual agreement signed and sealed by themselves, to remain in force till they should obtain one under the authority of the magistrates of that town. It provides for the election of a warden yearly, on the feast of St. Mark, who should keep the books of the fraternity, and do all other offices belonging to a steward, as in other companies. They have at present two stewards. The meetings of the company are held in Ever tower, near St. Andrew�s church. Their armorial bearings are annexed. — Arms of Incorp. Companies.
