EQUERIES, or EQUERRIES, popularly called Querries, are particularly used among us for officers of the king's stables, under the master of the horse, seven in number, who, when his majesty goes abroad, ride in the leading coach, are in waiting one at a time monthly, and have a table with the gentlemen ushers during the time, and a salary of 300l. a-year each. They used to ride on horseback by the coach side when the king travelled; but that being more expensive to them than necessary to the sovereign, it has been discontinued.
