[There is some difficulty as to the exact date when Sir R. de Basing ceased to be an Alderman. He was present at a meeting of Aldermen on July 26, 1297 [Letter Book B, fo. 106 b (xxxii.)] and again on November 30th, 1297 [fo. 103 b (xxxv.)] when his successor (Northone) was also present. On August 26 in the same year Northone had been in attendance but not Basing (Lib. Cust. fo. 43 b). In the record of the November meeting he is described as Sir Robert de Basinge, citizen and knight, his name standing by itself and preceding those of the undoubted Aldermen: it seems certain that he was not actually an Alderman of a Ward then, but was permitted to attend the meetings of the Court, and I think this was also the case at the earlier date; see p. 250 for a similar instance of an ex-Alderman (H. le Waleys) being present at a Court]

1661–79, paragraph 6. This identification of the J. Parsons elected for Bramber is very doubtful, though it has (or had, when this note was written) the support of so excellent an authority as Mr. Duncombe Pink. I think it is hardly doubtful that the candidate for Bramber was identical with the J. Parsons whose Will, showing that he had property in that borough, was proved March 2, 1683 (P.C.C. 36 Cottle) before the date of the Alderman's first election to that dignity. | ||

Page 329 | Omit the last four lines beginning—A Brewer also [R. Horne had been erroneously described as a Brewer in a MS. index to the Husting Deeds at Guildhall, owing to a misreading of the original document. It appears from Ancient Deed, C 1458 (under date January 31, 1435) that he was a Fishmonger] | |
" 330 | Ten lines from the end, after forthwith insert (Rep. 1, fo. 146 b). | |
" 330 | Last line, add It was not till 1632 that a second Brewer (S. Cranmer) was elected an Alderman. | |

(Masons) add *Sir C. C. Wakefield (1908–). | ||
(Innholders) add C. Johnston (1907–). Sir J. C. Bell's name should be in capitals without the prefix*. |
