wardmote

Mr. Houston, the attorney who officiated at the wardmote, was not suffered to make his report of the election.

The wardmote had inquest jurisdiction over immorality or bad behavior such as vagrancy, delinquency, illegitimacy, and disputes.

Holinshed and the Wardmote Book both explicitly assert this.

The widow Wadlowe's name is returned for the last time by the Wardmote on December 21st, 1629.
