| Description | The Treasurers to pay Thomas Lyniall the money spent by him on the City's business.
The constables are instructed to bring persons before the Mayor who refuse to pay their assessments for the recent rate for highway and other repairs. Edmund Gamul has already seen to his share of the paving; two persons are appointed for each of the next seven weeks to oversee the construction of the work, and the Leevelookers are to be general surveyors.
(ZA/B/1/268). Auditors are appointed to take the accounts of John Aldersey and Peter Newall for their work on the new haven.
No master - craftsman or property - owner to employ or have any casual labour except such as he is prepared to answer for.
On the Mayor's report that the Treasure House is much decayed "soe as the Records therein are very much blemished and defaced", the Treasurers are instructed to see to its repair.
Raff Dodd to continue to have his loan of £25 from the White legacy, provided he find two new sureties, his originals having died.
(ZA/B/1/268v). Rubbish not to be dumped on the Roodee, except at the new quay. (fine, 10/-).
A Scavenger to be appointed.
Former orders concerning the bringing of suits against fellow - citizens in foreign courts, and by royal writs, are reaffirmed.
(ZA/B/1/269). The rate of 25/- a hundred [weight?] at which Hardware, during his mayoralty in the previous year, sold a common bargain of Newland fish to the fish-mongers of the City, has proved too high; any fish yet remaining shall therefore be sold at the rate of 22/- a hundred.
Roger Siddall, tailor, to be permitted to build a front to his shop in Bridge Street, which he rents from Thomas Smith, to match the front of Lewis Robert's shop next door.
John Fitton and Owen Harries to be permitted to build similar shopfronts (they claim that otherwise they will be at a disadvantage.).
Mrs. Knight, widow of the late Clerk of the Pentice, is alleged to be holding certain Government money entrusted to her husband for Irish affairs. The Treasurers are to interview her. |
