Description | Sir John Savage admitted, and elected Alderman in place of William Bird. A "curteous" letter to be sent to Robert Snagg, to enquire if he is willing to forego his position as Alderman. Election of John Halwood as Councilman in place of Thomas Heward, removed on account of his long absence. Whereas buckets provided against fire under a former order (Jan. 20th. 1570), are by now wearing out, resolved that all strangers admitted in future to the City, are to pay for the cost of providing two buckets. Several fires had apparently recently occurred. |
