| Description | Thomas Pickering, mercer, elected Councilman in the stead of John Aldersey, deceased.
It was ordered unanimously that a petition concerning the Recorder should be signed by the Mayor and Aldermen and presented to Parliament in the name of the whole City.
(ZA/B/2/113). The draft of an order concerning the customs of the City was to have been read, but as it was long and the day much spent, it was referred to a meeting of the Mayor, certain of the Justices and other members of the Assembly, to be held in the Pentice on the following Thursday week.
George Chamberleyne and Sarah his wife petitioned for a grant of four bays of building on the waste grounds in Handbridge, for which they paid 8s. yearly rent to the City. It was ordered that, for a fine of 40s., they should be granted a lease for ninety-nine years, if Robert Chamberleyne and William Chamberleyne, sons of the said George, and Margeret Wyddens, daughter of Richard Wyddens of Stoke, co. Chester, yeoman, or any of them, should so long live, for the yearly rent of 8s. |
