Nov. 9.
London. |
15. Wm. Beecher to Carleton. The Prince's creation has passed
over, with no solemnity except "a combat of barriers performed by
the Inns of Court." The Courtiers did nothing, because the Prince
was loth either to be left out or to take a part. It is whispered,
that he is of "a weake and crasie disposition." The King has
created the Lord Chancellor Visct. Brackley, for standing very
stoutly for the maintenance of the prerogative. Lord Roos
set out from Portsmouth, and Sir John Digby is to be sent after
him. It is Lord Coke's critical day, and an evil issue is foreboded.

Savoy, who wishes to join the Princes of the Union. Quarrel

houses made Knights of the Bath. The King was at Whitehall, to
see the Prince come by water from Richmond, but the Queen would
not be present, lest she should renew her grief for the late Prince,
for whom the Bp. of Ely prayed by mistake, at a Court sermon.
The King detained by the clothing business; he will compel the old
Merchant Adventurers to enter this new company, but clothing
decays apace. Lord Coke's affair in suspense; the Queen and
Prince are for him, but he is not submissive enough; he has an
ague. Creations of peers. Sir Robt. Naunton excuses himself from
going to Flanders to demand justice against Puteanus, the author of
"Corona Regia." The Earl of Salisbury's son dead. |

entertained at Drapers' Hall by the Lord Mayor. Their rude
deportment towards the citizens' wives. Earl of Dorset and Lord
Clifford ordered to settle their quarrels by law. Lady Compton

and not to intermeddle with business. Visct. Wallingford is to
have 2,000l. a year from the Court of Wards, or the choice of the
best ward that falls every year, except noblemen. Pricking of
sheriffs. Bertram, a grave gentleman of nearly eighty, shot Sir
John Tyndall, Master in Chancery, for deciding a case wrongly

weak opposition. |

appointed Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench on the deprivation of Lord Coke, warning him against aiming at popularity, against
severity in repressing argument, &c., setting before him the example

charge of 500l. or 600l. On Percy's being proclaimed traitor, they

33. Edw. Sherburn to Carleton. Sir Lionel Cranfield, a mere
merchant, is sworn Master of Requests,—a base fellow, but the times
allow anything to be done for money. Lady Harrington is going to
end her days with the Lady Elizabeth: the King has given her
5,000l., and 10,000l. to Sir Robt. Mansell, who has married Mrs.

35. Nath. Brent to [Carleton]. The Secretary has given the place
he [Brent] wished for to Sir Fras. Onslow. The Archbp. of
Canterbury condemned Grotius as a busybody, for his ambition,
indiscretion, &c. The King is annoyed that his letter, which Sir
Noel de Caron got from him, has been printed at the Hague, as it
was procured by wrong information. His Majesty told Alderman
Cockayne, that if he had abused him by false information, relative
to disturbances in the cloth trade with Holland, his quarters should
pay for it. The King intended to examine the murderer of Sir John
Tyndall, being desirous to sift the abuses of the Court of Chancery,
but the murderer hung himself. The Prince troubled with the green

popularity. He made a modest reply. Coke retires with general
applause. The King said he was uncorrupt and a good justicer.
His wife's friends grieved with her, for leaving him and carrying off
plate, &c. He refused to sell his collar of S. S. to his successor, saying he would leave it to his posterity, that they might
know they had a Chief Justice for their ancestor. He bears
his misfortune well, and has gone down to his daughter Saddler's in
Hertfordshire. The King displeased with the Solicitor for refusing
the Recordership, the city having hastily chosen one Coventry, no
favourite at Court, before his Majesty could nominate another.
Bertram, who killed Sir John Tyndall, hung himself, for fear of
torture. Lord Dormer dead. The old Merchant Adventurers
know not how to content the King. They will not join the new
company, who are trying to sell their cloths at Antwerp or Bruges.
Sir Lionel Cranfield made Master of Requests, and would have been
Under Treasurer, but the Lord Treasurer said he would resign, rather
than be yoked to a London 'prentice. Sir Thos. Edmondes and Paul

French King, three for the Duchess of Guise, and one for Mons. De la
Boderie, late French Ambassador; they are for a year, renewable
on surrender of the old licences; those of the Duchess are not
renewed this year, because the old licences are not brought in. The
French do great mischief, fishing with unlawful nets, at unlawful
times, and when a boat is filled, its licence is sold to another. |

Dudley's offer of receiving his son, if it will not interfere with his
place at King's College. Great distress in the cloth trade. The
Hollanders and Alderman Cockayne blamed. The King purposes to
make sumptuary laws for moderating excess in apparel. A proclamation is expected ordering the wearing of cloth, which causes
great deadness in trade. The Great Turk begins to use our
English merchants ill. Sir Thos. Edmondes sent for to take
possession of his Comptrollership. Lord Dormer and his eldest son
