Carleton to the effect that the City thought it hard that, though
their loan of L100,000 was still retained without interest, and a
contribution given to Bohemia, another large loan should be asked;
that the City compromised it by giving L10,000, and would sell plate
and dispense with feasts until it was paid.--Cal. State Papers Dom.

M103 The citizens and the Spanish ambassador.

254 The Spanish ambassador for the time being often fell foul of the
Londoners. In 1612 his hat with a valuable jewel in it was snatched
off his head amid the jeers of by-standers.--"Court and Times," i,
191, 192. In 1618 an attack was made on his house because one of his
suite had ridden over a child and nearly killed it. A commission sat
at the Guildhall to punish the offenders, but the mayor treated
those who had offered the insult to the ambassador with such
leniency that the king waxed wroth.--_Id._, ii, 81-82, 85, 86.
