| Description | Thomas Johnson, innholder, elected a Councilman in the stead of Humphrey Lloyd, deceased. He took the oaths and subscribed the declaration.
The Glovers' Company complained that most of the inhabitants put muck and dirt in the channels in the streets and lanes so that when it rained this was driven into the river; that the great heaps of muck which were put at the Capplegate and at the end of Dee Mills hindered the way to the petitioners' workhouses; and that those at other places by the river side were taken away by the river, which therefore became choked up. (ZA/B/2/154v) Moreover the fishing in the river was much impaired. It was ordered that all persons who should offend in this respect should be fined 3s: 4d. for every offence. In every ward the Constables were to give notice thereof to the inhabitants, and the Bellman was also to publish the order. |
