from a look up in the Universal British Directory, 1793-1798
Interesting!!

From the Directory section:
James BROADHURST, sugar-broker 18 Harp Lane

From the Livery Section:
James BROADHURST Swithin's Lane Ironmonger's Co sworn sugar broker
William BROADHURST 18 Harp Lane Ironmonger's Co sworn sugar broker

So, what's a sworn sugar broker? Elsewhere I saw sworn broker, but no
explanation.
