Petition of Felix Feast for Alderman Seat in Cripplegate Ward
A 1723 wardmote record from London protests manipulation of an Alderman election at Cripplegate Parish St Giles. Felix Feast claims improper scrutiny against Sir John Williams, alleging intimidation of scrutineers by Williams and Sheriff Humphry Parsons, asking the Lord Mayor to declare Feast duly elected or provide remedy. Additional notices announce sheriffs nominees and various commercial and theatre notices.
