GALLEY-HALFTENCE, 8.

These were commonly called gallie men, as men that came up in the gallies, who brought up wines and other merchan. dizes, which they landed in Thames. strete, at a place called galley key: they had a certaine coyne of silver amongst themselves, which were half-pence of Genoa, and were called galley-half-pence. These half-pence were forbidden in the thirteenth year of Henry IV, and again by parliament in the third of Henry V, by the name of half-pence of Genoa, forbidden to passe as unlawfull payment amongst the English subjects. Notwithstanding, in my youth, I have seen them passe currant.
