		The councillors told the aldermen and the others, Walter's supporters, that they themselves ought to have reached a unanimous agreement on who they wanted to be their mayor in the city, and that if they presented such a person to the king, the king would admit him to the mayoralty.

		The Archbishop, the Earl, Robert Burnel, Walter de Merton, and many other magnates also came to St. Paul's and, going into its chapter-house with the aldermen, advised them to agree to the election of Walter as mayor, since it was only for a year, to avoid further troubles in the city.
