M495 Glyn, the Recorder, forced to resign. 25 Aug., 1649.

969 Repertory 59, fo. 472. Glyn had assumed the coif in October, 1648,
and in so doing had followed the example of Sir Henry Montague and
others of his predecessors. The City had tried to get rid of
Montague (in 1610) on the same grounds, but failed owing to the
intervention of the king, who emphatically declared that in calling
Montague to be a sergeant-at-law he intended a further mark of
favour to him and to the City, and did not intend that he should
lose his place.--Remembrancia (Index), p. 288.

970 Repertory 59, fo. 474. As early as the 3rd July the Common Council
(presumably by virtue of the resolution of parliament of 28 Feb.,
