Title
Christopher Fulwoode at Middleton (by Youlgreave) to Thomas Gell in London - called on the Mayor of Derby and told him of his meeting with Mr Allestrey and Mr Hallowes in Westminster Hall - charters and records of the town prejudicial to Derby - if matter comes to public hearing a election, the Mayor would be committed to the Tower and fined for refusing the poll and not returning Gell and Fullwood but this could be prevented if he would agree to allow Allestrey and Hallowes to sit until Candlemas term and that when their cause was heard, they would not appear in opposition. Allestrey had agreed but Hallowes wanted consent of the Mayor and Aldermen - Mayor very inclinable and is sure of a peaceable end - the Earl of Chesterfield sent out his servants, at Fullwoode's request, to confirm that Fulwood had not deserted the business. 16 Dec
