The revenues of the town are immense, and have rapidly increased during the last half century, notwithstanding the vast sums that have been lost in consequence of the decisions made in courts of law against some of the customary demands of the corporation. The following is a statement of the town's revenue for some years, above a century ago. For the year ending at Michaelmas in—



1695	the amount was	£5722
1697		6526
1698		7264
1699		8043
1700	the amount was	£7900
1701		8685
1702		6001
1708		8556
1711	the amount was	£6488
1712		6138
1713		8056

In the last mentioned year, there remained a balance of £2152, 13s. 0¼d. in the Hutch, (fn. 1) or town's treasury. The corporation accounts, during the following periods, stood thus:—
