Description: | Bitchfield.
As we find nothing in the statute "to impeach us to call before us the Alderman of Grantham," we thought we used courtesy in not calling him, but only requiring some to be sent by him to make us reasonable answer, thinking to deserve thanks of you both in easing you of a burden, we being more in number, as Mr. Cony still sits with us. We intend only the Queen's service, without breach of their liberties, but "we are resolved by the letter of the statute that albeit the Alderman were joined with us in commission, as he is not, yet we may sit in the town jointly with him, without his consent"; and though there shall seem small discretion in us to attend until advertized of the special commission pretended to be sued by him, yet if you will meet us there on Monday next, we shall be glad of your aid.
Endorsed. "Answer to Mr. Thorold." | Subjects: | Country Estates | Temporal: | 28 Apr 1581 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
