| Description | Ralph Whitley, esq., elected Alderman in the stead of William Ince the elder, deceased, and Thomas Maddocke, tanner, elected Councilman in the stead of Isaac Swift, deceased. They took their oaths and subscribed the declaration.
George Booth, esq., was unanimously elected a freeman.
It was ordered that £10 should be paid out of the Treasury to Randle Oulton and William Streete, Aldermen and Murengers, towards providing stone and other materials for the repair of the City walls. The Murengers were to repay this sum to the Treasurers as the murage money came to their hands.
William Martin, barber, was granted liberty to set the stone pillars for his new fabric in Northgatestreete, opposite the Flesh Shambles, 11 inches into the street, for the yearly rent of 4s. He was to give the Treasurers a just account of what stone he had taken from the City's quarries and was to pay for it.
It was ordered that Mr Arnold Hill should be prosecuted at the charge of the City for money which he owed to the City for customs.
(ZA/B/2/190) Ann Burroughes, widow, was to have a lease for twenty-one years, after the determination of a lease for lives then in being, of the chambers and shops at the row end near St. Peter's Church, for £5 fine and the accustomed rent.
It was agreed that henceforth Charles Boswell, the City's paver, should have a livery coat once every third year.
It was ordered that 40s. should be paid to Richard Ratcliffe, son of John Ratcliffe, esq., deceased, by weekly payments of 5s. This sum was part of his portion of £50 which was formerly granted to Mr Ratcliffe's executors for the use of his children.
Alban Gray, bricklayer, petitioned for a lease for three lives and twenty-one years of the Cockpitt Hill. The Treasurers and five Aldermen, or any three of them, were to view the ground and to report.
Ralph Leicester, Ralph Blagge and John Peircell were to be admitted to the freedom on payment of the respective sums of £10, £30 and £20. |
