Historique
An Inspeximus is an official document testifying that the current monarch has inspected and confirmed a previously granted charter ('exemplification' denotes a certified copy or transcript). In 1661, as part of the Restoration Settlement, the reconstituted Parliament passed the Corporation Act, designed to remove from office any town official suspected of disloyalty to the Crown. A quo warranto (a royal writ obliging the addressee to show by what warrant an office or franchise is held or claimed) was brought against the Stationers' charter, triggering the publication of this and other inspeximus documents (see also TSC/A/01/01/03, TSC/A/01/01/04).
