Droytwich CASE.  
KING John Granted to the Burgesses of Droytwich and their Heirs, the Salt Springs there, rendering the yearly Fee Farm Rend of 100 l. Sterling, and the Salt Water hath ever since been divided into Four Hundred and Four Shares called Bulleries.  
The Grantees of King John and their Heirs have aliened and sold their whole inheritance in the Salt Springs to several persons, who at this day stand seized in Fee of the same, and pay the Fee Farm Rent according to their respective Shares, and from the time of King John's Grant, to the Reign of Queen Mary the Inheritors of the Salt Springs governed the same, and were deemed Burgesses of Droytwich, and whoever sold his Inheritance, ceased to be a Burgess.  
Queen Marry Incorporated the Burrow of Droytwich, by the Name of Bailiffs and Burgesses, but takes no notice of the Salt Works, nor is there any Order, or Direction given by King John's Grant, or any subsequent Charter for the Governing, or Managing thereof.  
There are but Nine Persons who inhabit within the Burrow of Droytwich, who with the Assistance of thirteen others, they have admitted into the Corporation, pretend to the Power of Governing, Managing, and taxing the Inheritance in the Salt Springs at pleasure; excluding the real Owners thereof from Voting, or Acting therein.  
And although the Proprietors of the Salt Springs are undoubtedly Burgesses of Droytwich, and consequently Members of the Corporation; yet by this Bill they do not seek any relief therein, but only that they may have a Vote in the Managing and Taxing of their own Estates.
