Trial Proceedings on the Refractory Companies at Guildhall
The trial reviewed the Lord Mayors precept to convene the Goldsmiths Livery and the legality of their disobedience. Dunning argued the precept was lawful, citing historic Common-halls and mayoral authority, while Burland contended the power resided in the City’s representative body, not a single company. Evidence included past mandamus, city records, and a witness describing Livery assembly limits for elections only.
