My relation, Mr. Daniel Gurney, Fellow of the Society, having informed me that he had been entrusted with a Manuscript belonging to Mr. Lane, of Lynn Regis in Norfolk, which contained Extracts of the Proceedings of the Corporation of Lynn, from 1430 to 1731, shewing the municipal arrangements of that town for three centuries, and which gave a very curious account of the manner of their early elections of Burgesses in Parliament, I requested him to have the notices of these last copied for me; and as they appear to me of singular interest at the present time, when most of our old customs, with many of our ancient institutions, are becoming more and more rapidly matters of history, I send them to you, as I have received them, for communication to the Society.
