919 Dated "Queenstreet," 9 Jan.—Rushworth, vii, 1387, 1388.

920 The court had been asked on the 9th Jan. to present a petition to
the House "subscribed by many hands," the purport of which is not
set out in the City’s Journal, but was considered to be of such
"high concernment" that the petition was referred to a committee
(Journal 40, fo. 310). There is little doubt but that this petition
was embodied in that presented to the House on the 15th.

921 Journal 40, fo. 313b.

922 Robert Michell, the Town Clerk, was soon afterwards (3 July)
dismissed from office; and the same fate threatened Henry Proby, the

936 On the 9th May, 1644, the Common Council—in consideration of the sad

M495 Glyn, the Recorder, forced to resign. 25 Aug., 1649.

969 Repertory 59, fo. 472. Glyn had assumed the coif in October, 1648,
and in so doing had followed the example of Sir Henry Montague and
others of his predecessors. The City had tried to get rid of
Montague (in 1610) on the same grounds, but failed owing to the
intervention of the king, who emphatically declared that in calling
Montague to be a sergeant-at-law he intended a further mark of
favour to him and to the City, and did not intend that he should
lose his place.—Remembrancia (Index), p. 288.

970 Repertory 59, fo. 474. As early as the 3rd July the Common Council
(presumably by virtue of the resolution of parliament of 28 Feb.,
1649) had looked upon the Recordership as vacant, and had nominated
Steele as Glyn’s successor. It had, however, to give way to the
Court of Aldermen.—Journal 41, fos. 1b, 4.

M496 Election of Foote, mayor, 29 Sept.

971 Journal 41, fo. 7b. For a mayor to appoint an alderman who had not
yet passed the chair to act as his _locum tenens_ was unusual and
contrary to custom.

1019 Journal 41, fo. 44b. Cromwell’s letter having been read before the
Common Council, was, we are told, "delivered back to the lord mayor
who presented it." The custom of the lord mayor for the time being
keeping as private property letters addressed to him in his official
capacity continues to deprive the Corporation of a valuable addition
to their records.

exhibited by a Committee of Common Councill authorized thereto," 26
Oct., 1653.—Journal 41. fos. 91-92.

1046 "Interrupted" came to be the authorised expression for the treatment
parliament suffered at the hands of Cromwell on this memorable
occasion. Scobell, the clerk of the parliament, who had innocently
entered in the Journal that on a certain day the Lord General
Cromwell had "dissolved" the House, was called to account six years
later for venturing to use such a term, and his excuse that he had
heard of no other term until six years later was scarcely
tolerated.—Pepys, Diary, 9 Jan., 1660.

1080 Journal 41, fo. 100b.

1081 With the exception of the parliament of 1284 it is doubtful if the
City sent that number of burgesses to any other. As to the
parliament of 1654, the names of five members only have come down to
us (see Loftie’s "History of London," Appendix B). But that the city
did send six members to this parliament is the more probable from
the fact that in June, 1657, the Common Council prepared a petition
to parliament praying to be allowed to send "their full number" of
six burgesses "already chosen" to parliament.—Journal 41, fo. 156.
Moreover, the fact that in March, 1653, the Common Council ordered a
petition to be prepared for parliament "touching the number of
future burgesses for this city in parliament," points to some
probable alteration in the number of city members.—_Id._, 41, fo.

proves so little, and an occasion of so much discontent everywhere,
that it had better it had never been set up." His own subscription
