The petition refers to the Act of 26 July 1682, admitting " a certain number of persons able and well qualified in barbercraft" and concludes with a plea to the council to "maintain and defend us in the possession of all our priviledges that we and our predecessors… enjoyed past all memory and not suffer us to be troubled and molested by the clerks or any others and to command the clerks and the servants to restore and hand back all those indentures they have so wrongfully and unjustly taken up." |
