Whereas, upon the return of our first certificate, the men of
Yarmouth opposed it, as discontented with some things therein
specified: whereupon it pleased your lordships to re-commit to us the
hearing of both parties; and having accordingly heard both they
themselves and their learned council, at Serjeants Inn, in Chancery
Lane, we do further certify, that we find no cause to alter the said
certificate.
CONCORDAT CUM RESISTRO
EXOR
JOHN WHOLLEY,
Keeper of the Records of the Council Chamber, April 30th, 1596.
In consequence of this second certificate of the judges, their lordships,
on the 16th day of May, 1596, issued an order that an actual
admeasurement of the said seven miles should be immediately carried into
execution, and at the termination thereof towards Lowestoft, some
apparent mark should be affixed, to point out the boundaries of the
liberties of Yarmouth; and that the same admeasurement should commence at
Yarmouth key, the place where the herring fair is usually held; and also
further to ascertain the true situation of the place called Kirkley road;
and accordingly a commission was granted to Sir Arthur Heneningham, Sir
Henry Woodhouse, Knight, and Henry Gawdy, Esq., {78} on the part of
Yarmouth; and to Sir Robert Jermyn, Sir John Higham, Knight, and Anthony
Wingfield, Esq., on the part of Lowestoft, or any five or four of them,
to superintend the said admeasurement, to affix the said mark, and to
point out the precise situation of Kirkley road, where it beginneth, and
how far it extendeth.
AT THE COURT AT GREENWICH, the 16th of May, 1596.
Present,
LORD ARCHBISHOP, LORD CHAMBERLAIN, LORD BUCKHURST,
LORD KEEPER, LORD COBHAM, SIR JOHN FORTESCUE.
