members then re-instated. On the 17th of August 1660, it was 
“‘ Agreede by Generall Consent that Mr. George Reeve be 
re-admitted a member of ye Comon Counsell of this Cittie 
having been before displased,” on the 26th of September he 
was elected one of the Constables for the ensuing year. Reeve 
was one of the members of the Council arrested on September 19th 
1661, by order of Henry Chapman, and despatched to Ilchester, 
_ his signature and seal appears in the Hall-book, on the statement 
drawn up directly upon their return by those arrested. 
The M. B. December 30th 1661 records that ‘‘ Mr. George 
- Reeve bidds ( ) yearely rent to renew his Estate in his Shopp 
& Backsyde being Church Lands for 21 yeares—Agreede a graunt 
be made to George Reeve of ye syde Shopp and Backside abovsayd 
for 21 yeares at ye Rent of 30° usuall covent*.” 
It is not improbable that George Reeve was for some reason 
compulsorily retired from the Council soon after the events of 
September 1661, for his name disappears from those given as 
present at the meetings.
