John Melhuish was a tin merchant from Truro. After a municipal career as a Mayor of Truro he was elected to Parliament along with Nicholas Randall.[1] In 1553 they aligned with Queen Mary and voted against the Protestant opposition to the Crown.[1] In 1554 Melhuish abandoned Parliament without a licence and evaded summons to the King's Bench.[1] For three years in a row, 1555 to end of 1557, he was fined for contempt of court in absentia.[1] Officers of the Duchy of Cornwall pressed their own charges against Melhuish.[1] Bankrupted, he fled his home town and sought protection from his creditors, which was granted by the Crown in 1558.[1] He settled near Buckfastleigh in Devon, styled himself "late of Truro" and retired from politics.[1] Notes1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Bindoff, Stanley T. et al.
