Someone who carries passengers in a horse-drawn carriage.
"Saw my Lady Castlemaine, who I fear is not so handsome as I have taken her for, and now she begins to decay something. This is my wife's opinion also, for which I am sorry. Thence by coach, with a mad coachman that drove like mad, and down byways through Bucklersbury home, everybody through the street cursing him, being ready to run over them."
Samuel Pepys, Diary (June 13, 1663).
