Bloomsbury.
_Stage-coaches_ (Vol. viii., p. 439.).--The following Note may perhaps
prove acceptable to G. E. F. The article from which it was taken contained,
if I remember rightly, much more information upon the same subject:
"The stage-coach 'Wonder,' from London to Shrewsbury, and the
'Hirondelle' belonged to Taylor of Shrewsbury. The 'Hirondelle' did 120
miles in 8 hours and 20 minutes. One day a team of four greys did 9
miles in 35 minutes. The 'Wonder' left {601} Lion Yard, Shrewsbury, one
morning at 6 o'clock, and was at Islington at 7 o'clock the same
evening, being only 13 hours on the road."--_The Times_, July 11, 1842.
