Summary

1660.

On the 8th of May, Roger Pepys Esq., was elected Recorder of the Town, in the room of his father, Talbot Pepys Esq., who seems to have resigned. Roger Pepys had a grant of the office during pleasure.

Subjoined are accounts of the proceedings here, on the proclamation of the King:—

Upon Thursday, being the 10th of May, 1660, the Vicechancellor sent to all the Heads or in their absence the Presidents to come to the Schooles at one of the clock, & bring all their Fellows & Scholars in their Formalitys, which done accordingly, the Vicechancellor & all the Doctors in Scarlet Gowns the Regents and Non Regents & Bacchellors in their hoods turned & all the Schollars in Capps went with lowd Musick before them to the Crosse on the Market Hill. The Vicechancellor Beadles & as many Drs as could stood upon the severall Seats of the Crosse, & the School Keeper standing near them made 3 O yeis. The Vicechancellor dictated to the Beadle who proclaimed the same with an audible voice. From the Crosse they went to the midst of the Market Hill, where they did the like, the Musick brought them back to the Schooles again & there left them, & went up to the top of King's College Chapell, where they played a great while. After the Musick had done, King's Bells & all the Bells in Towne rang till 'twas night, & then many Bonfires were kindled & many Garlands hung up in many places of the Streets. The Vicechancellor sent to the Mayor for him & his Brethren to joyne with the University in the Proclamation, but his answere was they could not doe it till to morrow & would doe it on Horseback.
