7th. To the Lords of the Treasury, where all the morning, and
settled matters to their liking about the assignments on the
Customes between the Navy-office and Victualler, and to that end
spent most of the morning there with D. Gauden. I to the
Council-chamber, and there heard the great complaint of the City,
tried against the gentlemen of the Temple for the late riot, as
they would have it, when my Lord Mayor was there. But, upon
hearing the whole business, the City was certainly to blame to
charge them in this manner as with a riot; but; the King and
Council did forbear to determine any thing in it, till the other
business of the title and privilege be decided, which is now
under dispute at law between them,--whether the Temple be within
the liberty of the City or no. But I was sorry to see the City
so ill advised as to complain in a thing where their proofs were
so weak.
8th. Up, and to White Hall to the King's side to find Sir T.
Clifford, where the Duke of York came and found me; which I was
sorry for, for fear he should think I was making friends on that
side.
