DEED Borough OF YEOVIL Burgesses to GOODLAND 1818. MANUSCRIPT INDENTURE DOCUMENT
BEING A LEASE OF ALL THAT CHAMBER CALLED BY THE NAME OF COURT CHAMBER BEING
IN THE BOROUGH OF YEOVIL ( IN THE COUNTY OF SOMERSET ) ADJOINING THE CHURCH
YARD AND NOW IN THE POSSESION OF THE PORTREEVE AND BURGESSES. PORTREEVE
AND BURGESSES 'Like Taunton and many other towns Yeovil was a borough by
prescription, that is to say a borough by ancient usage and custom but having
no known charter of incorporation. It was not until 1854 that Yeovil applied
for an Act of Parliament to establish the right to have a Mayor and
Corporation, and the first Mayor was elected in November of that year. For
long Yeovil's chief citizen, chief magistrate and sort of town manager had
been the person holding the ancient office of portreeve. He was originally
appointed by the lord of the manor, but Yeovil centuries ago obtained the
right to elect the portreeve from its own burgesses. It was an onerous
office, almost a full time job, and for this reason was held only for a year.
Because of the work entailed there were those who would not accept the office
except under pressure. Some boroughs, and Yeovil was one of them, had the
drastic penalty of pulling his house about his ears if he refused office.
This actually occurred to a Yeovil burgess, Geoffrey the Lorimer, in the 14th
century, and he found he had no redress. ' Reference: From the Western and
Somerset Mercury written by John Bailey and was originally published on July
18, 1969. BETWEEN

Countie of Som[er]set. That the said Sr Edward did maintayne & bring up

few pieces such as My mind to me a kingdom is. Dyer died considerably in debt
and Ben Jonson told Drummond that “Dyer died unmarried.” |
