HAYHURST (ROBIN), printer in London, 1689, Little Britain [c. 1700]. Dunton has two references [pp. 247, 293] to Hayhurst. In speaking of William Bonny the printer, he says that Bonny would have "printed treble to what he did, had not Robin Hayhurst lived so near him", and a little further on in a list of persons, whom he had omitted to describe elsewhere, he refers to "Robin Hayhurst, who lived by printing of false news". In 1689 Hayhurst issued a poetical broadside, commemorating the coronation of William and Mary, printed for him by A. M. [B.M. C. 20. f. 2 (180).]
