Description | Gerrard Jones, goldsmith, elected Alderman in place of Thomas Mottershed, deceased. John Witter, apothecary, elected Councilman in place of the said Gerrard Jones. The Company of Joiners, Carvers and Turners complained that other citizens had lately bought timber and sold it retail. After much debate it was ordered that freemen should not sell "mountaynes, rayles or pannells" in the City, but that they might buy and sell ether timber. |
