| Description | Election of David Evans, pewterer, and John Lea, merchant, as Councilmen in place of the Sheriffs.
Humfrey Yonge, late Under-Keeper of the Gaol and Sheriff's Officer, petitions to be reinstated, or to have a gathering.
Edward Kilsh/Gilson pays 40/-, owing on two forfeited recognizances.
The petition deferred of Richard Weston, glover, for a fee farm of a void piece of ground.
The former auditors are reappointed.
The Mayor having chosen John Brerewood, who has not been Leevelooker, as Sheriff, explains he had to make that choice, as he himself is unable to read or write; Brerewood's fine is wholly remitted.
The Sheriffs are to collect the fines and make the usual payments. (for several years they have not been collecting the fines, and the fee farm has been paid by the Treasurers.). |
