Contested Election and City Livery Tensions in London
An Independent Liveryman writes about a sheriff election dispute and alleged aims to provoke confusion. He criticizes an upstart leader, cites prior opposition to Sir Robert Goddall, and warns the Livery to resist insolent tactics in the Common-Hall. Letters from abroad mention treaties, troop movements, and news from Brussels, Paris, and London.
