Charity.

I. 549. Letter of Sir Christopher Hatton to the Lord Mayor, asking his assistance for one of the daughters of the late Mr. Cox, a citizen, and her husband, who were in great distress.
21st October, 1583.

I. 634. Letter from the Lord Mayor to the Lord Treasurer, stating that he had submitted his request, that a collection should be made in the several wards on behalf of Peter Clemens, to the Court of Aldermen. Notwithstanding their desire to grant the request, yet, for the following reasons, they deemed it very undesirable to tax the citizens: first, because the said Clemens was a stranger; second, because he, being a Tallow-chandler, ought not to have used the trade of melting tallow within the City, contrary to the orders made in that behalf, therebyfiring his own house, and greatly imperilling his neighbours; and, third, because the collection would be used by him to pay his creditors certain bonds: nevertheless, if he still thought it desirable, they would for his sake make the collection.
24th February, 1592.

I. 637. Copy of No. 634.

Whitehall, 30th January, 1613.
