Description | William Johnson, son of the late Hugh Johnson, merchant, and apprentice of Alderman William Massy, merchant, and William Woodward, apprentice of John Preece, cooper, to be admitted paying as apprentices. At the suggestion of David Lloyd, Mr. Thomas Middleton to be admitted gratis. The petition of James Hand for a fee arm of void ground near the New Tower, is rejected, but he is offered instead a lease for thirty years or three lives. Debated how to pay for the repair of the walls, the Muragers receipts being small and insufficient; resolved that John Cronck be sworn to collect and account for all toll corn for one year, and to hand over the profits to the Muragers. |
