Treason, felony and Lollardy: a common petition in the hand of Richard Osbarn, Clerk of the Chamber of the Guildhall 1400–c. 1437

This article examines a common petition presented in the English parliament of 1425 requesting that those imprisoned for long periods for the crimes of treason, felony and Lollardy might be brought to trial. On the basis of palaeographical and orthographical evidence, this petition is demonstrated to be written by Richard Osbarn, clerk of the chamber of the London Guildhall between 1400 and 1437. The implications of this discovery throw new light on the way petitions were formulated, suggesting that the scribes of petitions played a greater role than previously thought, and in some cases identified with the complaint itself.

Petition der Kommunalbehörden zu Berlin wegen Beibehaltung der Städte-Ordnung vom 19. November 1808

Boberach: Die bisherige Städteordnung ist dem Regierungsentwurf unbedingt vorzuziehen. Es ist nicht wünschenswert, das bisher an das Bürgerrecht gebundene Wahlrecht auf die Schutzverwandten auszudehnen, die das Bürgerrecht nicht erworben haben, weil sie keine Bürgergelder zahlen wollen. Das Dreiklassenwahlrecht wird abgelehnt
