 aldermen, and to William Shelton, in behalf of Mr. Conran, alderman, for 

 borrowing £1000, to be lent to the Lords Justices for Her Majesty's service; 

 said warrant is left in trust in the hands of Nich. Ball, to be safely kept. 

 Parties have taken up £600, and entered bond for £1200, for payment by 

 1st May next, and £150 more, for which the mayor has given his bond to 

 Mr. John Foster and Mr. Pantin, for which sums the mayor is to procure 

 warrant from the Council for payment on the arrival of the next Treasurer, 

 and on payment to discharge said several sums, and cancel the letter of 

 attorney.

 city's seal in that behalf given is cancelled. 



fol. 51\ 2nd April, 1599. 



A short recital of the loan requested above. There was borrowed of Mr, Palles. 

 Alexander Palles and others the £1,000, and it was agreed that a letter 

 should be sent to Mr. Eobert Gutts, London, that on default of payment, 

 Mr. Palles might take up so much in London on the security of the city. 

 As Mr. Palles was immediately repaid by Sir Henry Wallop, vice-treasurer 

 and treasurer of war, yet in disorderly fashion he will not redeliver 

 the [document under] city seal, to be cancelled. We now place this his 

 dealing on record, leaving deserved punishment to be inflicted on his repair 

 hence again. 



The aforesaid writing was delivered me 21st May, 1599, and remains in 

 desk, Jas. Bellewe, mayor.
