A link-boy (or link boy or linkboy) was a boy who carried a flaming torch to light the way for pedestrians at night. Linkboys were common in London in the days before street lighting. The linkboy's fee was commonly one farthing, and the torch was often made from burning pitch and tow.

Answer:
at night people used to roam on streets and they used to carry a burning lamp or torch, if they were rich enough, pay someone else to carry it. boys who would be given a samall fee for holding the burning lamp or torch ahead of people so that they could see the way through the dark street, were called link boys.
