GREEN, T. Over against the Meuse Gate, Charing Cross. He was publishing the Daily Courant in conjunction with J. Stagg, T. Jackson, and J. Roberts during the years 1729–32. Timperley also records a Thomas Green in Spring Gardens in 1729, but so far as I am aware, there is no evidence that this was the same person.
