Below: I wonder who Mr Quick and Mr Corby were?
Mr Corby may have been a fellow baker; and a Mr Corby was sent to reclaim the King's head after the downing of George III's statue at Bowling Green (not the massacre, obvs. )… in 1776.
Mr Quick is a complete mystery at this moment.

March 2026 update: Mr Quick and Mr Corby seem to be Abraham Quick and Thomas Corbie. Thomas Corbie was landlord of the Richmond Hill Tavern (“Corbie's Tavern”, rendezvous site for the conspirators of the [Thomas] Hickey Plot, a conspiracy to kill or kidnap George Washington), and did indeed recover the statue head with John Cox.
