sll timber, and mostly tiled. On the west side there were
Deacon Hog's and Deacon Wright's, both new houses.
Deacon Wright's was then possessed by himself" and fa-
mily; and the others by Mr Robert Bell and family, the
first floor — and Mr William Morison and family, the se-
cond floor. The windows of this floor went to the roof;
but there was a garret above, which had two thread-
mills in it. William Morison and John Wemyss were
then thriving thread-makers, without any show; and both
wore black bonnets ; but Mr Wemyss soon got a hat,
which Mr Morison never did.* There was a tannage at
the foot of the Wellgate en the west side, and two brew-
seats ; and one brew-seat on the east side; a large yard
at the foot of the Wellgate on the east side, which came
up to and beyond an old house of Peter Cock's, on the
south end of Mrs Paterson's. The only opening to the
Meadows was a small narrow close, below Quaker Ligh-
ton's long tiled land, and called the Meadows-entry ; and
there was no other entry from the town to the Meadows
but it and James Mathew's close in the Murray-gate; and
sometimes the Millhouse-close was left open. About
1796, another man and I reckoned as many inhabitants
in the new tannage entry, and in the two lands that lead
$o it, as were in 1756 in the whole Wellgate.
In 1815, it has leading from it, —
