Stormy customs of old city election and grain surge
This fragmentary report paints a scene of 18th century governance with talks of Lord Mayors seat at Guilipall, foreign ambassadors, and court pageantry. It notes vast grain stores and rising exports as archangel ships bring wheat and rye while prices plunge and a merchant faces ruin. It also lists sheriff letters and scrutiny disputes tied to the election processes, plus assorted notices of marriages and local incidents.
