one mast) and then down to the taffrail, as a sign of celebration.

18: hist. in England, before the Reform Act of 1832, a settlement with a royal charter giving it
the right to return two Members of Parliament, where the number of electors was so small that the

the 18th cent. also called rotten borough.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

Yes, I just gave 10 minutes over. I didn't want to set the voting deadline later than 9 pm my time
tomorrow, and I wanted to give a long a time as I could before then.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

There seem to be a lot of money defs - fees and suchlike - but I'm leaning
more to the ones describing stuff, and in particular the packing stuff for
barrels and the cotton stuff for muzzle-loaders

Or 5 and 11 if you prefer.

Jim
