Contempt and Petition in Hampden Navy Treasury Case
The Historical Register notes the March actions in Cheping-Wicombe where Mayor Richard Shrimpton refused an order to allow inspection of borough records by Harry Waller. Contempt was declared, with the mayor to hand over ledger entries of freemen. A Malt-Bill was read, and a bill was ordered to protect funds of the Court of Chancery suitors. Isabella Hampden petitioned regarding her jointure and annuity secured by marriage settlement amid Hampden’s Navy treasurership debts.
