Hull Town Security Debates Over Hotham Plot and Scottish Aid
The Hull town affair centers on Sir John Hotham and his son, with the Commons noting treachery fears and the Major defending the town against Papist plots. Reports show the Earl of Newcastle offering rewards to betray Hull, which were rejected, and examinations reveal cautious links between Hotham, his son, and the Queen’s realm. The Commons order indemnity for Hull’s mayor and governors, plan further examinations, and consider a Scots mission for military support.
