MOULTON (South), on the same stream, 182 miles from London. This, as well as the former, was anciently royal demesne. This corporation, which once sent members to parliament in the reign of Edward I. consists of a mayor, 18 capital burghesses, a recorder, town-clerk, and 2 sergeants at mace. Here is a market on Saturdays; and fairs are held the first Tuesday after May 11. and Nov. 12. Their chief manufactures are ferges, shalloons, and felts; and great quantities of wool brought from the country are bought up here every Saturday. In the year 1684, a merchant of London, a native of this town, built and endowed a free school here; besides which, here is a charity-school.
