Comment | Prebendary.
Protest by John Rugge against the admission of William Jones [and Henry Slocombe, MA] to residence in the cathedral, "for that her majestie's letters in the favour and behoof of Mr Sampson Newton to be admitted canon residentiary in the same cathedral churche be not yet satisfied ... and further for that wee have an injunction from my Lorde of Bath, that we shall not have above the number of eighte residents, which is not dissolved nor by his Lordshipe dispensed with".
Admitted to residence on deposit of 200 marks caution money, and further caution [money] for the assent and consent of the bishop, notwithstanding his injunction. |
