"_Bough-House._"--At the late assizes for the county of Suffolk, the
witnesses in two separate cases spoke of a "bough-house," and the
explanation given was, that certain houses where beer, &c. was sold at
fair-time only had boughs outside to indicate their character. As an
illustration of the familiar proverb, "Good wine needs no _bush_," and
as the word does not occur in Forby's _Glossary of East Anglia_, it may
perhaps deserve a place.
