In this year the Company obtained from Henry VII a confirmation of their Charter, paying but 20_s._ for the same. This Inspeximus Charter recites and confirms that of Edward IV with the very noticeable exceptions, that four Masters or Governors are named instead of two, and that they are described as of “the Mystery of Barbers and Surgeons,” and not “Barbers” only, as in Edward’s grant. The original, in excellent preservation, with the great seal of England pendant, is at the Hall, and the text is as follows:-- HENRICUS dei gracia Rex Anglie Francie & Dominus Hibernie Omnibʒ ad quos pˀsentes littere pervenerunt, salutem.
