me for Assistance according to the Proclamation and are now busie in calling their scatter'd Forces together again Oxford Wednesday the 15th of July 1640. A. Frewen At Whitehall the 22th of July 1640. PRESENT The KING's MAJESTY Lord Arch-Bishop of Cant. Lord Keeper Lord Treasurer Lord Privy Seal Lord Duke of Lenox Lord Marquis Hamilton Lord Admiral Earl of Berks Earl of Holland Earl of Traquare Lord Goring Lord Cottington Mr. Treasurer Mr. Secretary Windebanke Sir Tho. Rowe WHereas His Majesty being present at the Board did this day hear the Complaints of the Mayor Recorder and others of the City of Oxford expressed in two Letters the one of the 15th of June to the Board the other of the 4th of June to the Earl of Berks a Member of the Board concerning their Liberties in the Presence of the Vice-Chancellor and other Doctors of the University and Mr. Allibond one of the Proctors whom the said Complaint did concern After mature Debate it was ordered That the University of Oxford according to his Majesty's Gracious Letter shall have the sole Licensing of Victualling-Houses in that City and Suburbs in like manner as the University of Cambridge hath in the Town of Cambridge And for that purpose it is ordered by His Majesty with advice of the Board That the Commission for the Peace in Oxford shall be renewed and the Vice-Chancellor only made of the Quorum Secondly for the Complaint of the Building of Cottages it is ordered That the Vice-Chancellor and the Mayor shall make several Certificates of all the new Cottages built within Twenty Years and shall distinguish which of them have been built by Privileged Persons upon College Lands and which by Townsmen and which by Privileged Persons upon the Town Wast by their leave Upon return of which Cerficates their Lordships will give such farther Order therein as shall be fit Thirdly it was order'd That his Majesty's Attorney and Sollicitor-General shall examine how the Orders set down by Mr. Justice Jones for preventing of Disputes and Controversies between the University and City of Oxford have been observed and by whom there hath been any defailer therein admitted Upon Certificate whereof their Lordships will take such Order as shall be fit for the due Observance of the same Fourthly it was ordered That according to the Statute of Winchester those to whom it belongeth ought to set Watches at the Gates of the City according to the said Statute and that the said Watch continue there without walking of the Streets or moving from their Station except it be for the suppressing of any sudden Tumult or other Malefactors whereof there is not time to give notice to the Vice-Chancellor and the Proctors of the said University Lastly it is ordered That the Constable committed to Prison shall be delivered but not without paying of Fees After my hearty Commendations DR Frewen hath now born the troublesom Office of the Vice-Chancellorship of that University for the space of two whole Years which is the time now usually given to execute that Office And is certainly weight enough for any Man to bear so long In the discharge of this Office he hath through the whole course of his time carried himself with great Care Moderation and Prudence and that as well in all Businesses which relate to the Town as in those which look more immediately upon the University And among other great Services perform'd by him I cannot forbear to single out one and here publickly to give him Thanks for it even above the rest And that is the great Pains he hath taken and the singular Dexterity which he hath used in bringing the Statutes concerning the Examinations into Use and Settlement Which Statute I dare be bold to say being continued and kept up in the same Vigour to which it is now raised by his Care and Providence will be of such singular use as that for my part I cannot easily tell whether it will be greater Honour or Benefit to that University but sure I am it will be the one by the other if it be kept up to the Life as I hope it shall be Dr. Frewen's time being thus happily spent both for his own Honour and the University's Good the Care now lies upon me to name another to take up that Burthen which he lays down and to go in those steps which he hath trod out before him And I thank God for it there is such Choice of able Men in that Place for this Service that I cannot be to seek whom to name unto it But I have for the present thought upon Dr. Potter Dean of Worcester and Provost of Queen's-College as a Man whom I know to be of great Integrity and Sufficiency for that Place and of whose Care and Industry therein I am very confident To him together with the Office I do more especially recommend the Care of the Examinations in point of Learning and a most strict Watchfulness and Observance against all haunting of Taverns or any other Meetings private or publick which may any way help to suppress the base Sin of Drunkenness the Mother or the Nurse of almost all other Distempers which may bring Obloquy upon that Place These are therefore to let you know that I do hereby nominate and chuse Dr. Potter to be my Vice-Chancellor for this Year ensuing And do hereby pray and require you to allow of this my Choice and to give him all due Respect and Assistance in all things necessary for that Government and more especially in the two Particulars above-named that so Sobriety and good Manners as well as Learning may flourish in that Place And thus not doubting of your readiness and willing Obedience herein I leave both him and you to the Grace of God and rest Lambeth July 24. 1640. Your Loving Friend and Chancellor W. Cant. AND for the future I pray let not the Town so much as begin to lay the Foundation of any Cottage or any other House whatsoever in any Place but send me word of it presently that I may acquaint the Lords with it and command a stay August 3. 1640. W. Cant. UPON a late Warrant from the Deputy-Lieutenants the Mayor hath freshly pressed and set out ten new Soldiers Coat and Conduct-Money for these in their several Parishes was taxed upon all Privileged Persons not only Stationers Apothecaries that trade and use Merchandize who are more liable but upon Doctors Clayton Sanders Bambridge and all Physicians upon Mr. Crosse our Beadle on our Butlers Manciples Cooks who are our immediate Servants and deal not with any Trade All profess themselves very willing to advance His Majesty's Service especially in these base and broken Times Yet they hope by your Grace's Favour to enjoy the benefit of that Privilege which being anciently granted to our University was of late confirmed by His Majesty's Charter and is enjoy'd by the other University At my intreaty all of them in a manner have paid but their

the more to be blamed for being so ambitious of it I presume Your Grace hath heard of the violent and drunken Competition that was between a Brewer and Baker at Michaelmas was Twelve Month how many Days and how much Beer was spent in the Canvass to the no small Scandal of this Place and disparagement of the Office which was to be procured by such unworthy Means In the issue the Brewer prevailed and his Beer wrought so well with the Commoners the whole Year after that by the strength thereof his Brother the present Mayor came to succeed him in the Place That none either then or since have Fined for refusing the Office either of Mayor or Bailiffs though in their Letter they seem to pretend the contrary The Mayor pretending the Statute of Edward the First for his Night-Watch I did not oppose it though I saw little use of it here and knew this Place to be exempt by an Act Eliz. 13. which confirms all our Charters unto us notwithstanding any Acts of Parliament whatsoever That Statute appoints the Watch to stand at the Gates where had they kept themselves the Proctors had not questioned them But when they took the boldness to walk the Streets to examine Scholars of all Conditions to enter Houses and search what Company there then they thought it high time to appear and stand up in defence of their own Authority and the Privilege of the University Your Grace having been Proctor long since cannot but know that the Night Watch hath of old belonged to the University and was so confirmed unto us as our Right by the Lords at an hearing before them 'twixt the University and Town 1612. Jacobi Decimo Nor since then have the Townsmen disturb'd it at any time before now when our unwillingness to trouble either Your Grace or the Lords of the Council with petty Complaints in these busie Times hath so heartned them that nothing will now satisfie them unless they may trample our Charters under their Feet and give Laws to them by whom they live For the particular Passage 'twixt one of the Proctors and the Constable of St. Thomas Parish I am a Stranger and therefore have sent Your Grace the sum of it under the Proctor's own Hand A second Reason omitted before through hast for my not bringing to the Quarter Sessions the Recognizances which I have taken of Victuallers and Ale-Houses is this because His Majesty hath by our Charter given to the University all the Fines Amercements and Profits that accrue from them Since I began to write Greene hath been asked and he makes Answer That he keeps his Inn by virtue of a Licence from the Town but an ancient one it is Oxon July 6. 1640. A. Frewen WHereas it hath been suggested by Mr. Mayor of Oxon to the Lord 's of His Majesty's most Honourable Privy-Council That I committed the Constable of St. Thomas Parish for setting his Watch it is my humble Suit that the Honourable Board will be pleased to take notice that he was committed for these Reasons following First For taking upon him to the great Prejudice of the Privivileges of the University the Search of Houses A thing not belonging to the Officers of the Town but in Cases of Treason and Felony Secondly For an Outrage committed by his Watch upon one Wallis in his own Lodging he himself being at the same time at the Door Thirdly For doing and suffering these things beyond the bound of his Walk For these Reasons above specified I committed him to the Castle yet so as a Delinquent not as a Constable I not being able to know his Office by his bare word without his Mace Oxon July 6. 1640.
