1081 With the exception of the parliament of 1284 it is doubtful if the
City sent that number of burgesses to any other. As to the
parliament of 1654, the names of five members only have come down to
us (see Loftie's "History of London," Appendix B). But that the city
did send six members to this parliament is the more probable from
the fact that in June, 1657, the Common Council prepared a petition
to parliament praying to be allowed to send "their full number" of
six burgesses "already chosen" to parliament.--Journal 41, fo. 156.
Moreover, the fact that in March, 1653, the Common Council ordered a
petition to be prepared for parliament "touching the number of
future burgesses for this city in parliament," points to some
probable alteration in the number of city members.--_Id._, 41, fo.
