Title
Richard Baynes to Thomas Gell - troubles since Gell's departure, sinister practices of Mr Walthall and his adherents - sought to prefer the sale of Gell's lead and although ordered not to sell to Walthall he agreed to do so, so long as Walthall paid as much as anyone else - Walthall seemed to agree but eventually refused, so he sought to sell to others - Walthall used all means to hinder him and brought a case in the mayor's court to have the lead confiscated, alleging that it was foreign - other witnesses were Wyggen the warfinger and his son but the case was in his favour - has not yet sold the lead but is negotiating. 4 Apr
