[9] From a Newspaper, April 23, 1823:—“Cabriolets were, in honour of his Majesty’s birthday, introduced to the public this morning. They are built to hold two persons inside besides the driver (who is partitioned off from his company), and are furnished with a book of fares for the use of the public, to prevent the possibility of imposition. These books will be found in a pocket hung inside the head of the cabriolet. The fares are one-third less than hackney coaches.”
