Notes

Calendared in NC, 7: 411 (no. X.616) (but this gives the misleading impression that Fowle still was under arrest at the time of writing).||Lists precedents for the Mint's privileges to have its officers exempted or released from arrest. An account of Fowle's own recent arrest on unspecified charges [curfew-breaking?], from which he was released after two days through the comptroller's intervention.
