Mansion House

The Mansion House is where the city of London's own offices sit, as the Crown's offices sit at Westminster. The ward councils and halls work alongside it. The Southwark ferrymen's petition about a landing fee has been carried to it by Councillor Agnes Bell, in a quarrel with Mr Jasper Ancrum, receiver of dues.
