PREFACE.
THE Records of the Burgh of Glasgow are awanting prior to
19th January 1573-4, and the portion of the Burgess Roll
now printed comprises the admission of Burgesses from that date
until the end of the year 1750. Unfortunately the Record is not
continuous ; several of the volumes have long since disappeared,
and the blanks occasioned by their loss have been noted where
they occur throughout the following pages. With the exception of
two fragments, one dating from 16th October 161 3 to 23rd
February 1615, and the other from 31st October 1693 to 9th
October 1694, no separate Register exists of the admission of
Burgesses and Guild Brethren until 1st January 1777.
From the earliest times the regulation of the admission of
Burgesses was in the hands of the community, and as represent-
ing the community, the power lay with the Town Council. When
the Record begins, Burgesses were received and sworn in presence
of the Magistrates and Council, and their entries are engrossed in
the Minute Books of the town. This procedure continued for
some thirty-five years, but by an act of council dated 7th October
1609 l the right was transferred to the Dean of Guild and his
Council, and thereafter the admissions are recorded in the Act
Books of that Court.' 2
In the Register there are several distinct classes of Burgesses,
who, though all nominally admitted to the freedom of the burgh,
had different privileges conferred upon them. Up to the year
1605 the Burgess Freemen of Glasgow were all simple Burgesses
and no more, whether belonging to the Merchant class or to the
Crafts. The mutual controversies and civil discords which for
long had existed between the merchants on the one hand and the
craftsmen on the other, became so serious that arbitration was

2 A few odd admissions are likewise recorded in the Records of the
Trades House.

resorted to, and in the year mentioned an arrangement was
•bed. embodied in the famous document known as the
Letter ot Guildry. Up to this time there was no Guildry in
Glasgow, but by this Letter a Dean of Guild and his Council was
iblished and provision made for the institution of the brother-
i 1. Every resident burgess was to enter Guild Brother on
payment of 13s. 4c!. to the hospital of his calling, merchants or
crafts as the case might be. 1 A Guild Brother's son or son-in-law
was to pay 20s. at his entry and 5s. to his hospital, subject to this
qualification, tli.it he must be worth in lands, heritage and move-
able gear 500 mcrks if a merchant and half as much if a craftsman,
while the respectability of the guildry was maintained by the
exclusion of "all kynd of infamous and deboischit men of evill lyf
and conversatioun." A Freeman who did not make his choice
and remained outside the Guildry continued a simple Burgess,
possessing only such rights as did not encroach upon the trading
privileges belonging to the other Burgesses and Guild Brethren —
those of (1) the Merchant rank and (2) the Craft rank. These
two classes formed by far the most numerous body of the citizens
and possessed the fullest freedom of trading. The merchants
could not infringe upon the rights of the crafts, while the crafts in
turn were strictly confined to the exercise of their own particular
trade or calling. Another class of Burgesses is that generally
termed Honorary Burgesses, persons admitted gratis by favour of
the Town Council, either by reason of their own eminence or
through the influence of their friends. These comprise a goodly
proportion of the entrants and further reference to them will be
made later.
Entry monies, or fines as they were then called, were exacted
from the entrants at each stage of their qualification. The amount
varied from time to time, but generally the figure was considerably
beyond the means of the common people. The money thus
acquired formed an important source of income to the burgh, and,
as regulated by an Act of Parliament of 1503, went to swell the
funds of the Common Good. In the early days of its history,
when the revenue of the town was small and its financial resources
limited, instances are numerous of burgess fines being diverted
from the burgh exchequer and assigned to other parties for varied
reasons, not infrequently in compensation for loss sustained. Such

favours did not always originate with the Council, but sometimes
were obtained by direct petitions or supplications. One of these,
dated 5th November 1586, is still in existence and runs in the
following terms : —

complener [ane burges fynes] and to find him furth himself. 1
At the end of the sixteenth century and early in the seven-
teenth the Magistrates and officials of the burgh had the right of
nominating a certain number of burgesses, receiving in return
the entry monies as a reward for services rendered. In i599>
probably in order to evade the frequent application for free
admission to burgess-ship, the Town Council set the admission
dues to the highest bidder at public roup, for the period of three
years, reserving four nominations to the provost, two to each of the
three bailies and one each to the clerk and master of work. On
the expiry of the term the experiment does not appear to have
been repeated, and, whether by enactment or not is unknown (the
records for the period being lost), the practice of nomination ceased.
After an interval of about a century and a half, it was revived at
Michaelmas 1744, when four burgesses were named by the provost
and two each by the three bailies, the Dean of Guild and the
Deacon Convener.
Over and above the ordinary dues paid by the entrants,
special levies were sometimes raised on occasions of national or
local emergency. In 1649, to provide funds for a new magazine
and armour for the town, an additional £4. was paid by those

edge some words at the end of the lines have disappeared.

admitted Burgess only, and .{.do by those entering Burgess and
Guild Brother. 1 In 1653, after the disastrous fire to which refer-
ence has been made at page 1 37, a further contribution of £5 was
imposed on all entrants, to be employed in the purchase of leather
buckets for use in case o{ fire. 2 The former exaction was removed
three years after it was imposed, but bucket money is still
collected, although utilised in a different way.
It was within the power of the Magistrates and Council to
deprive burgesses of their freedom, and such a course was fre-
quently adopted, especially when the delinquent trespassed against
the law or acted in defiance of the rules of good citizenship. One
burgess was deprived in 1647 for returning to the town after having
" come furthc of places suspect of the infectioune " (page 108). In
1 • ; 1 two had their freedom cried doun "for thair oppin mis-
cariadge to the proveist " ; 3 upwards of thirty were similarly dealt
with in 1655 for having remained furth of the town for a year and
a day, 4 and in 1712, because of his activity " in the late unaccount-
able mobbs and rabble, inciting and stirring up others " and refusing
to go home when commanded by the magistrates, another burgess
was not only deprived of his freedom, but also banished from the
town/' Similar instances could be multiplied, but the foregoing
are sufficient to show how carefully the civic fathers watched over
and how zealously they guarded the honour and dignity of burgess-
ship.
The last class of Burgesses to be referred to are the Honorary
Burgesses, — those who were received as Burgesses or as Burgesses
and Guild Brethren without payment of the ordinary admission
dues. The practice of bestowing the freedom of the burgh upon
distinguished strangers is of no modern origin. It dates as far
back as the records go. The honour conferred no special privileges
upon the recipients. They had no say in the affairs of the town
nor did any benefits descend to their children. On the other hand,
there were a large number of gratis burgesses whose status was
different, in so far that they possessed all the rights and privileges
as if they had entered in the ordinary way, and were bound in
consequence to discharge the duties devolving upon them as loyal

citizens. As a general rule, these burgesses were admitted by
reason of services rendered, and in every case their admission
followed upon an act of council passed expressly in their
favour.
The Roll of Burgesses entering by hereditary right or by
purchase was kept with praiseworthy accuracy, but the same
cannot be said of the strangers who received the honorary freedom
of the burgh. It does not appear to have been considered worth
while to engross their names, although from 1705 to 1730 some
attempt was made in this direction. During that period a separate
portion of the Minute Books was reserved for those granted
" Gratis Tickets," and the number of persons so honoured range
from 259 in i7i6to 11 in 1729. It is obvious, however, that the
clerk found the task of enumeration too irksome, and after 17th
January 1730 no further record has been kept. " It looks as though
in the good old times councils presented the freedom of their
burghs to distinguished visitors, less for the honour of building
up their Roll of Fame, than as an occasion affording agreeable
opportunities for conviviality, speech making and drinking of
healths." Burgess tickets granted to ordinary entrants were written
on small pieces of parchment, but those presented to persons of
distinction were more or less ornate in character. To meet the
demand for such tickets, the Town Council from time to time
contracted for a supply. In 1745, John Dunlop, painter, undertook
to provide as many as might be required for the space of five years
at the modest rates of two shillings for the best sort, one shilling
for the second sort and eightpence for the third sort. 1 Many of
these illuminated tickets are in private hands and elsewhere, and
while they bear to have been " extracted out of the Gild Books of
this City," the statement is inaccurate, for, as mentioned above, not
only are the lists preserved imperfect, but none exists after 1730.
As the city advanced in wealth and prosperity the number of these
presentations would correspondingly increase, but an act of council
dated 20th May 1778 finally put an end to their wholesale and
indiscriminate issue. 2

Biographical data concerning many of the entrants might
possibly have added additional interest to the Register, but tempt-
ing as the subject was, considerations of space rendered such notes
impracticable.
The thanks of the Society arc due to the Corporation of the
City of Glasgow and to the Court of the Lord Dean of Guild for
permission to copy the entries from the Records in their possession.
The Editor would desire to add his personal thanks to Sir John
Lindsay, Town Clerk, and to William Guy, Esq., Clerk to
the Dean of Guild Court, for the many kindnesses received at
their hands.

8 On 21 October 1648 the town council, recognising the necessity in which the town
stood of the services of a qualified surgeon, and of the "large commendation " given to
Arthur Temple as one of that profession, ordained the Dean of Guild and his brethren to
receive Temple as a burgess and guild brother, '"in hope of his good service." Their
endeavours to bring him to Glasgow at this time were unsuccessful, hut he was again
approached, and the act above mentioned narrates that "he bes vndertakine to doe the
pairt ofane chirurgeon to the haill poore of this burgh for fyve yeirs to come without
any payment." From the town he received a yearly salary of 100 merks, besides being
relieved of all public burdens, taxes, etc. Whether he found his practice too exacting
does not appear, but having removed from Glasgow and "remained furth for a year and
a day," he was deprived of his freedom by act of council iS August 1655. Temple
settled as a surgeon in Edinburgh, which city he represented in the Scott. sh Parliament
of 1669, and was owner of the estate of Ravelrig.
4 Having removed from Glasgow, he was deprived of his freedom by act of council
18 Aug. 1655.

NOTES.
(1.) On 3 October 1681, on the occasion of his visit to Glasgow, James, Duke of Albany
and York, afterwards King James VII., was admitted a burgess of the city. A sum of
£4001 : 12s. (Scots) was spent in the entertainment of ihe Duke and his suite, including
^1580 'Tor silver and gold boxes given to his royall highnes with his burges ticket, and
to his servants with their tickits at their admissions."— (Glas. Nee, vol. iii., p. 303.) The
Glasgow Records furnish no names of the servants then admitted, but the information
is partially supplied from the Records of Dumbarton, to which place the Duke and his
attendants went the following day to receive the similar compliment from that ancient
burgh. They were : —
Warden, Colonel Robert, comptroller of his Royal Highness.
Grinthill, Colonel John, master of the Robes.
Linglie, Major Hendrie, groom of the bedchamber.
Kirk, Captain Philip, servant to his Royal Highness.
Turner, Charles, also his servant.
Diummy, [ ], page of honour.
Sparrow, John, clerk of the kitchen,
"and armoris, waiters and yeomen."
(2 ) On 15 Sept. 1687, ane most reverend Father in God, John [PatersonJ,
Archbishop of Glasgow, was made B. and G.B. gratis (original ticket). His admission
is referred to in the Glasgow Records (vol. iii., p. 406), when the sum of ,£27 sterling was
paid "for ane gold box given to his grace my lord archbishop of Glasgow with his
burges ticket."
With the exception of a volume embracing the period from 31 October 1693
to 9 October 1694, the records are awanting after this date until 26 October
1699. 1
Such a hiatus is much to be regretted, but the loss is to a certain extent
modified by the existence of an index from which the particulars that follow
are supplied. This index was compiled about the year 1757 by one Henry
Aitkens, a merchant, who on 13 October 1757 was admitted a burgess and
guild brother of the city, by act of the town council, in consideration of his
having brought "forward a regular register of their burgesses and gild brothers
down from the year 168S." — {Glas Rec, vol. vi., p. 507.)
From 1 68 1 to 1688 there is therefore a complete gap. The index only
contains the names of those who entered in the usual way for the purpose of
carrying on the commerce and trade of the burgh ; no notice whatever has

of the City of Glasgow (1881) cannot now be found.

been taken of honorary burgesses, and the information supplied is of the most
meagre description. Whenever possible additional particulars have b
furnished, in many cases from the Town Coun< il Records, and in a few instances
from the original tickets.
