Folios 250r–250v contain documents concerning the aldermanry of the ward later called Farringdon Ward. There are no red-ink headings to the pages, nor have the initials been done, and the section is incomplete. A note at the foot of f. 250r translates as, “Note, void because above on f. 217”, where indeed, in another scribe’s handwriting, the same documents can be found. Those copied here are almost exactly the same as those above, with only a very few minor spelling differences, especially in the spelling of names, a few errors of this scribe (noted on the edition of the text, vol. II), and apart from the notes added here of the dates of enrolment.
