Description: | The proprietors and inhabitants of Bourne petition Thomas Trollope-Brown, esq, protesting about the 'fatal consequence of inclosing this populous parish which must utterly ruin more than half the inhabitants'.
Signatories: Proprietors 54
Inhabitants 53 [some signed in both categories]
John Dove sends the petition, remarking that many inhabitants are prepared, if necessary, to leave the town, and many more would have signed but were afraid of disobliging the lords.
Copies of the petition also sent to Lord Exeter and Gilbert Heathcote, and to the House of Lords. | Temporal: | 18 Feb 1766 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
