Apprehension of Sir John Hotham and Hall opposes Papist plot
The Commons report Sir John Hotham and his son were captured near Tilbury Hope while planning covert passage to London. Letters describe a Queen–Hotham liaison and a betrayal scheme aimed at delivering the town to Papists. Examinations revealed collusion and hopes of indemnity for Hall’s mayor and governor, with Parliament ordering investigations and restricted access.
