There was evidently a dislike to Mr. Clowes on the part of some of the Company, as the Wardens of the Yeomanry were on the 20th September, fined 40_s._ for refusing, or neglecting to carry the Standing Cups before him and the Wardens of the Livery on the Election day. 1638. Serjeant Clowes was again elected Master. 9th April, 1641.
