PREFACE.
DURING the period of the civil war, and later, until the reins of
government were seized and held by the firm hand of Oliver
Cromwell, the fortunes of Englishmen were greatly at the mercy
of Parliamentary Committees. The records of some of these com-
mittees have come down to us in good preservation, whilst of
others, the order books, which form the backbone of the whole, are
wanting; and of some, though the order books are preserved, the
original papers are wanting.
The Army Committee was a potent element, because to it was
mainly entrusted the regulation of public expenditure ; but its order
books are absent, and its only records consist of large numbers of
warrants, scattered among 300 bundles of Interregnum Exchequer
Papers, which are now in process of arrangement.
Another committee was that for taking the Accounts of the king-
dom. It was formed 22 Feb. 1644, and consisted of 25 members.¹
Without its examination and approval, no accounts could be passed.
All accounts for arrears of officers and soldiers, expenses of garri-
sons, &c., as well as of civil expenditure, passed through the hands
of this committee. But here again the sole records remaining in
the Record Office are letters and papers scattered among the
300 bundles of Exchequer Papers. These two committees belong
rather to the department of the Exchequer than to that of general
history.
There were also Committees of Safety; for Removing Obstructions
in the sale of Delinquents' lands; and for relief of those who sur-
rendered on Articles of War, of which only casual records remain.
The Committees of which the records are sufficiently complete to
render a calendar practicable, are,
1. Committee for Advance of Money.
2. Sequestration Committee.
3. Committee for Plundered Ministers.
See Scobell's Acts of Parliament, pp. 62, 74, 93.

PREFACE.
4. Committee for Compounding with Delinquents.
5. Derby House Committee, or Committee for both Kingdoms.
6. Committee for Indemnity.
7. Committee for Sale of Fee-farm Rents or Crown Lands.
The Derby House Committee really represented the governing
power on the Parliamentary side during the civil war, and its
records are being calendared by Mr. W. D. Hamilton, with those of
the closing years of Charles I. An account of the other Committees
will be given with their respective calendars.¹
The first in order of date was that for Advance of Money, its
object being to furnish the sinews of war to the Parliament party.
It was appointed 26 November 1642, on a previous order in Parlia-
ment of 14 November, that the Public faith of the kingdom should
be given for repayment, with 8 per cent. interest, of all loans of
money advanced for the public service. Among the 16 original
members occur the names of 5 peers and 4 knights, but several
others were added later (p. 1).
The officers of the Committee were,
1. Treasurer, at 150l. a year, with percentage on receipts.
2. Clerk or secretary, at 4l. a week, with the benefit of the
copying of orders, which was considerable after it became a
rule of the Committee that all petitions or requests made
to it should be accompanied by an official copy of the last.
order in the case.
3. Registrar, at 150l. a year.
4. Legal counsellor, at 150l. a year.
5. Examiner of witnesses, at 100l. a year.
6. Six attendants or collectors, who were allowed 6s. 8d. a day
when on duty, 6d. in the pound on all moneys brought in
by them, and their travelling expenses..
The meetings of the Committee were first held at the Hall of the
Haberdashers' Company in Gresham Street, which was hired for
the purpose, at a rental of 60l. (p. 88), then at Sir Wm. Bruncard's
house, Old Palace, or the Queen's Court, Westminster (p. 995), but
after its amalgamation with the Committee for Compounding with
delinquents, in 1650, it returned to Haberdashers' Hall, where its.
treasury had remained all along (pp. 62, 76, 221).
¹ A fuller notice of these Committees is printed in the preface to the Calendar of
State Papers, 1649-1650, pp. vii.-xii.
PREFACE..

A sub-committee was also appointed by the civic authorities of
London to raise assessments in the several wards. It consisted of
26 members, whose meetings were held in Weavers' Hall, Basing-
hall Street (pp. 1, 2). They received weekly contributions for
the expenses of the war. They appointed their own assessors and
collectors for the respective wards..
On 7 January 1643, Parliament issued a declaration, to be read in
the churches, urging the necessity of a present subscription, in money
or plate, to the war expenses, the money to be paid in four instal-
ments, on Public Faith Bills for principal and interest at 8 per
cent. (p. 11). Frequently Parliament was in such straits for money,
that sums were borrowed, for a few days or months only, from
private persons or city companies.
The efforts of the Committee for Advance of Money to procure
supplies were at first chiefly limited to residents within 20 miles of
London, but occasionally the counties which embraced the side of the
Parliament sent liberal contributions, or were called into question
for not doing so (pp. 3, 12, 14).
The ratio of the assessment was of the real, and of the
personal estate; but the estimates being founded on property or
income, without reduction for the lowering of the value of both
by the critical and uncertain position of public affairs, were
often so much too high that instances of their payment in full
are extremely rare; although one occurs whose assessment of 107.
was reduced to 5l., but he was content to pay the whole.”
An examination of the assessment books, Nos. 61 to 73, which
give in parallel columns the sums assessed, the sums already con-
tributed, and the sums remaining to be paid, will prove that the
actual receipts bear a small proportion to the assessments laid.
From two account books, Nos. 51 and 74, an estimate can be
formed of sums assessed, and sums actually paid, between 24 June
1643 and 1 July 1644. The receipts were 260,306l, 14s. 5d.; the
unpaid balance of the sums demanded was nearly 6 times as much,
being 1,418,2997.
(C
Sums already lent to Parliament were allowed on account
of assessment when the receipts could be produced, or when
affidavits were taken that they had not been disposed of, by
doubling or otherwise." The phrase of doubling refers to a skilful
device by means of which Parliament paid its debts by exacting
more money. To any one producing a Public Faith Bill, and

paying again as much as its value, lands from forfeited estates in
Ireland or elsewhere were transferred, to the full value of the
double sums. Large contributors occasionally accepted this mode
of repayment, rather than trust to the uncertain discharge of their
Public Faith Bills.
The collectors were ordered to serve the summonses for payment
of assessments on the persons concerned, and the grant of the
Public Faith was conditional on payment ten days after the sum-
mons. In case of failure, orders were issued for seizure and sale
of goods, and for seizure of houses and lands, till the amount of
assessment was paid. The houses were either let, or turned into
a refuge for those who lost their houses owing to their adherence
to the King's party.¹
Some endeavoured to elude payment by conveying away their
goods, and some by absenting themselves, thus putting the collectors
to great expense and trouble. The Committee retaliated by ordering
the offenders to pay all expenses incurred by the distress levied
upon their goods, including an extra allowance to the collectors
of 3d. in the pound on moneys thus brought in. The goods were
to be carried to Guildhall, and after due advertisement, to be sold
"by the candle." This phrase alludes to a practice, fallen into
desuetude, of sale by auction, a bid being absolute as soon as a
candle lighted expired. One large purchaser of such goods was
accused of placing himself too near the candle, and by some indirect
means, blowing it out! (p. 129).
The difficulties incurred by assessment collectors in getting in
the assessments are given in detail on pp. 30, 31. In case of there
being "no distress,"-that is, no property forthcoming on which the
assessments could be levied by distraint, the persons assessed were
to be taken into custody, and detained till payment was made.³
In June 1643, a sub-committee was appointed for mitigation of
assessments that were considered too high, but a hearing from this

committee could only be obtained on payment in deposit of half
the sum assessed.
The affidavit of the person assessed was frequently taken and
accepted, as to the amount of his property, deducting debts incurred
before June 1642, but should the affidavit prove false, he was
condemned to pay the total amount of the primary assessment.¹
Should it be proved that the deposited was the full proportion,
it was accepted as such; if less, then the balance was to be paid ;
if more, the surplus was returned.2
Mitigations were sometimes granted on family reasons,³ and
mitigations, sometimes extending to discharges, to those who had
performed services, or had supplied money, horses, arms, or goods,
for Parliament for which they were not paid, or who had suffered
heavy losses by the King's troops, the billetting of soldiers, &c.
5
Discharges were also frequently granted to those who had been
previously assessed in London, and had paid their assessments;7
also to those who had country as well as town residences, and had
paid their assessments in the country.8
The Committee for Advance of Money granted respite or post-
ponement of assessment in cases where the persons assessed were
away from England, especially when on Parliament service; also
when their estates were in counties occupied by the King's troops,10
or when they were under sequestration for delinquency."¹

PREFACE.
Sometimes, though seldom, persons who had shown good affec-
tion to Parliament were freed from assessment, and left to their
voluntary contributions, and sometimes they were discharged by
direct Order from Parliament.¹ Discharge was also granted by
Parliament to those included in the Articles of War granted on
surrender of Exeter, Truro, Oxford, &c.²
The only persons exempted from assessment were those whose
total property did not exceed 100l. in value, and this exemption
was frequently granted on the affidavit of the persons. Members
of either House of Parliament and attendants on the House of Peers
were to be assessed, not by the Committee for Advance of Money,
but by their respective Houses.
During the first 15 months of its existence, the proceedings of the
Committee for Advance of Money were mainly confined to assess-
ments; but in February 1645, it was ordered that informations might
be entered before it against those delinquents who had been seques-
trated and had, in compounding for delinquency, concealed any
part of their estate, or of the debts due to them. Ordinary dis-
coverers were allowed of the money brought in on their dis-
coveries. In the cases of officers and others who had arrears due
to them from Parliament, it was a frequent practice to settle their
accounts in a manner that should not draw upon government
resources, but add to them. They were promised,, and
even, very occasionally, the whole clear benefit derived from
the estates of delinquents to be discovered by them,-being
the most frequent proportion (pp. 41, et seq.), the remainder
accruing to the State.
A few months proved however that this arrangement gave rise
to untrue accusations, and therefore no one was permitted to enter
a discovery without a personal recommendation by an M.P., signed
by the Speaker (pp. 43, 44).—The informations were entered in
official books, and each entry was signed by the informer. Later on,

informers were obliged to enter into a bond, generally in 2007., to
prosecute their informations, and those who dropped prosecutions,
compounded with the persons concerned to desist prosecution, or
suborned witnesses, were made liable to imprisonment (p. 83).
The proceedings of this Committee as to assessments were at first
made without distinction of party, except so far as that those who
had voluntarily contributed with liberality to Parliament funds were
exempted. Gradually, as the Parliament party gained strength in
the country, delinquents,-as the Royalists were called-were more
frequently subject to this taxation. On 6 August 1646, an Order in
the House of Commons was issued that the officers of the Com-
mittee for Compounding should certify the names of all those who
by composition had acknowledged their delinquency, and that all
these should be assessed for their 2 (p. 56).
1
On 25 August following, assessments were limited to those who
had been delinquents, or who had not contributed in any place to
Parliament (p. 56). On 5 June 1648, a still more important Order
was passed in Parliament, viz., that the and should not be
levied excepting on those delinquents who were within the Ordi-
nance of Sequestration; but this order was not to be retrospective,
or to prevent the payment of assessments already ordered (p. 70).
1
On March 13 following (1649), it was ordered that all delinquents
who compounded, if assessed, should be taxed according to the
particulars of their estates, presented and signed by themselves at
Goldsmiths' Hall, their allegations of debts, &c., to be subject to the
judgment of the Committee for Advance of Money (p. 74). The
composition was considered, however, to free them from assessment,
provided the fine was fully paid up, but in case of failure in payment
of the second half, the assessment was imposed.
In April 1650, an entire change was made in the personnel of the
Committee for Advance of Money; the former Commissioners were
dismissed, and replaced by-

and for Compounding with delinquents, the former Sequestration
Committee being abolished.
Although efforts were made to keep distinct the business of the
two Committees for Advance of Money and Compounding, it fol-
lowed almost inevitably that confusion arose, and orders in cases
begun in one committee were given in the other.
This was the more easy because the course of business so often
led from the one committee to the other in the following routine:
-A delinquent was informed against in the Committee for
Advance of Money and convicted.
The delinquent then applied for his composition to the Com-
mittee for Compounding..
In case he undervalued his estate in the account he sent in,
information of the undervaluation might be presented to the Com-
mittee for Advance of Money.
He had then to go back to the Committee for Compounding to
compound for the undervaluations.
When it is considered that the same men were on both com-
mittees, and that both sat in the same place, the surprise is that
mistakes were not more frequent.
?
The powers of the new Committee for Advance were defined by
Parliament Order on 8 Aug. 1650 (pp. 83, 84).
During the years 1650 and 1651, assessments in the country by
the county commissioners-which had all along been partially
enforced in counties where Parliament authority was recognized,-
were more general (pp. 84, 88-100). The last in the large books
of assessments which contain the initiation of these proceedings
are dated Oct. 1651.
In April 1651, the Committee defined more fully the difference
between an order for seizing and securing an estate, and sequester-
ing it. In the former case, the rents of the real estate were stayed
in the tenants' hands, and the suspected delinquent was allowed
to enjoy his personal estate, on security in double its value, in case
he should be convicted of delinquency. In the latter case, the
whole property was taken into the hands of the county commis-
sioners, the estates let, and the goods sold. In April 1651 also,
Auditor Sherwin issued a series of proposals for the better regulation
of the committee's business (p. 91).
As the persons accused of delinquency frequently complained of
want of definiteness in the charges preferred, which rendered a
PREFACE.
xiii
defence difficult, or even impracticable, an order was issued on
18 June 1651, that the date, within a year, and the place of the
acts of delinquency informed against, should be ascertained (p. 93).
But by this time the country had become so weary of the
uncertainty to property attending the proceedings against delin-
quents, and the tediousness with which they dragged on, that Par-
liament passed an Act of Pardon and Oblivion, whereby discharges
from sequestration were granted to all those whose estates were
not actually sequestered 1 Dec. 1651 (pp. 99, 101).
This Act produced a great revolution in the reduction of the
numbers of informations, and in the discharge of very numerous
cases, both of delinquency and non-payment of assessments, already
before the Committee; but it pressed very heavily upon the in-
formers, many of whom had expended considerable sums in the
prosecution of cases, which were far advanced towards a hearing,
but the estates not sequestered; and as the recompense to informers
was solely from the amounts paid in by the delinquents accused by
them, they lost not only their expenses but the reward hoped for.
These informers differed much in position and character; we find
among them such men as Cols. Hutchinson and Venn, and nume-
rous other officers, and groups of officers and soldiers, who were
unable in any other way to obtain their arrears of pay. But some
were money hunters, who brought their neighbours into trouble for
their own gain; and some vented their malice upon their private
enemies by picking holes in their political conduct, and informing
against them for delinquency.¹
It cannot be supposed that a Committee whose object was to
raise money from the accused would act partially towards them,
yet the instances of discharge from sequestration are not very
infrequent.
In June 1652, a mandate was issued that the Public Faith
should not, without special order, be granted for assessments paid.
in (p. 105); but on 7 Dec. 1653, certificates for the Public Faith
were granted, on the Parliament Order of 12 Aug. 1645, to all who
had paid their assessment within the time limited, or had been re-
spited; but not to those against whom proceedings had been taken.
This led to numerous requests for Public Faith certificates, from
such of the community as still retained a hope that the Public
Faith of the Commonwealth was worth anything (p. 112).

PREFACE.
From the time of the Protectorate, in December 1653, the powers
of all committees were gradually curtailed, and their business
diverted and absorbed into Cromwell's hands, until, one by one,
they ceased to exist. The latest entry of the proceedings of this
Committee is 14 May 1656.
In the general proceedings of the Committee for Advance are
placed some entries relating to individual cases, when they seemed
needful to illustrate the modus operandi of the committee,
although in a few instances, they are repeated in the case
itself.
In reference to the cases brought before the Committee for
Advance of Money, especially those relating to assessments, they
were so numerous that, had they all been calendared, the present
volumes must have extended to seven or eight. A selection of
these only is therefore given; they comprise—
1. Noblemen, baronets, knights, and ladies.
2. All those whose assessments amounted to 1,000l., and who,
therefore, were considered to be worth 20,000l., equal to
80,000l. or 100,000l. in our days.
3. Ministers of churches.
4. Men whose names were known in the legal, literary, diplo-
matic, or official circles of the period.
5. Cases in which there are several original papers, as well as
entries in the order books.
6. Cases which occur, though they may not begin, in the later
order books, thereby leading to the presumption that the
parties are delinquents.
Any persons seeking information about names of persons as-
sessed, especially those resident in London, not occurring in the
index to these volumes, should consult the indexes to the six
assessment books, A 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, and 72.
The mode of calendaring adopted for the cases, to secure at once
brevity and clearness, and to avoid repetitions, is to place the case
under the date of the earliest entry relating to it, and then to add
all the other proceedings in order of date. All petitions and the
principal orders in the case are calendared, and the references
placed in the right-hand margin. Orders of minor importance-as
those for respite or hearing of a case, or for confirmation of former
orders are not calendared, but the references to them placed in

the left-hand margin. In that margin are also placed references
to the evidences on which the orders are grounded, as letters
from the county committees, depositions, reports, &c. Any
searcher wishing to follow out a case in full should look over
these papers.
Occasionally the depositions contain particulars of historical
interest relating to the civil war, especially to the proceedings
before and after the battle of Worcester. The reports frequently
contain details valuable for family pedigree, whilst the par-
ticulars of estates and debts give full accounts of the financial
position of the individual concerned.

The first of the large books of assessment on which the majority
of the assessment cases are based, does not begin till June 1643,
but there are several cases of assessment before this date, though
no note exists of the laying of the assessment. After June 1643,
the cases usually begin with the laying of the assessment, orders
for deposit, or for hearing on payment of the, and then dis-
charge on payment of the second half, and frequently of collectors'
salary and charges, or of the percentage of 6d. in the pound granted
to the County Commissioners.
The discharge on payment was by no means an exemption
from future charges, as persons were frequently assessed two, three,
or four times. Sometimes, however, a later assessment was dis-
charged because of an earlier one. Some cases terminated within
a few weeks or months; others dragged on for years.
Delays occurred more especially where there were debts due to
the persons concerned, which were claimed in payment of their
xvi

assessment, or forfeited for their delinquency; each debtor was sum-
moned to pay the debt to the Committee for Advance of Money,
who, for the sake of securing the money, often remitted part of
the debt. The debtors refused to pay unless their bonds, securities,
or mortgages could be delivered up to them. In troublous times
these had often been lost or mislaid, and the creditors were natu-
rally reluctant to give them up, when they received no benefit
from the payment.¹
The cases of concealed or undervalued estates of delinquents, and
also of delinquency, usually commence with informations. These
are followed up by orders to the county commissioners to make
inquiries, then a return of depositions on the case, publication of
proofs, and a final decision. The cases were frequently prolonged
owing to delay on the part of the prosecutor, or of the county com-
missioners; sometimes to the difficulty of obtaining evidence, or to
a determination on the part of the accused person to weary out his
prosecutor. If the cases were thus protracted without sequestra-
tion to the close of 1651, the delinquent obtained his discharge on
the Act of Pardon.
On pp. xix. to xxiv. will be found a complete list of the books
and papers of the Committee for Advance of Money, noting
how far their contents are embodied in the present calendar; but
it should be observed that, though many books are noted as not
calendared, it is because all the important information in them
occurs in other books which have been calendared. To this list is
appended a note of directions for the guidance of searchers.
It has been found necessary to divide this Committee's Calendar
into three parts, but the pagination is consecutive, and one Index
includes the whole Calendar.
The contents, especially the general proceedings (pp. 1-113),
afford frequent elucidations of the history of the period; while to
the genealogist and the topographer, the cases open out a mine of
information.
All the leading families of the country will be able to ascertain,
directly or indirectly, the side taken by their ancestry in the great
civil strife. If they took the Parliament side, they will not be
found here, unless falsely accused; but if they were Royalists-as
1 See the cases of Sir G. Benyon (pp 345-349), Duke of Buckingham (pp. 528-
541), Lord Craven (pp. 297-299), Marquis of Worcester (pp. 208–217), &c.

were most of the landed proprietors-details, often curious and
interesting, will be found relating to them, their families, and their
estates. The cases of the Duke of Buckingham (pp. 528-541);
Thomas, Lord Coventry, and his sons (pp. 1363–1369); William,
Lord Craven (pp. 297-299); the Marquis of Worcester (pp. 208-
217); and the Countess of Derby (pp. 1,295-1,298) may be cited
as illustrative.
The Yorkshire and Oxford Engagements illustrate the position
of the Royalists. Merchants and moneyed men were willing to
advance loans, but they required better security than the King's
privy seals. The noblemen and gentry around him therefore
became guarantors, and signed bonds making themselves personally
responsible for the return of the money lent. The outcome was
unfortunate for both parties. The guarantors were obliged to pay
to the State half the sums for which they had made themselves
responsible, even though in a few cases the creditors had claimed
and recovered the debts, and the lenders found their debts
sequestered, and were summoned to deliver up their bonds,
and thus disabled from recovering their money by law (pp. 907–
941, 996-1,005).
The topographer also will find a store of information; these
records make it easy to ascertain in what counties the King's party
or the Parliament party prevailed. London, its city companies,
and its streets, parishes, wards, and buildings occupy much space,
owing to the fact that the earlier assessments were mainly limited
to the city.
The records of the two Committees that follow that for the
Advance of Money in point of date are far from perfect. Of the
Sequestration Committee the order books, seven in number, are
all in existence, but very few of the original papers. They are
comprised in four bundles.
As to the Committee for Plundered Ministers, there are only
two volumes of its proceedings, one a regular order book, but
only extending from 1646 to the early part of 1647. The other, a
collection of orders bound together, forming a thick volume, and
dating from December 1645 to October 1653. Many of this
Committee's orders are scattered among the composition papers,—
a portion of the fine of the compounders being frequently trans-
muted into a settlement of income upon neighbouring ministers,-
and there is also a bundle of loose orders and papers relating to it.

PREFACE.
It is not at present intended to print a Calendar of these
records. The next Committee to be dealt with is, therefore
the Committee for Compounding with Delinquents, by far the
largest and most important of the Commonwealth's Committees.

Order in Parliament. Whereas divers well-affected citizens of London and
others have advanced large sums of money and other supplies for the safety
of the King, Parliament, and kingdom, and have also set forth many soldiers
under the Earls of Essex and Warwick: yet for the better safety of King,
Parliament, and City, and no way hindering the former intentious, divers of
the said well-affected persons are willing to raise some soldiers, and maintain
them for several months during these times of danger, provided they may
have the Public Faith of the kingdom for repayment of such loans;-Parliament
accepts their service, and engages the Public Faith of the kingdom for repay-
ment of all such loans with interest, and orders the Lord Mayor and sheriffs to
appoint sub-committees to take the subscriptions, and order the performance of
this service. [A1, pp. 29, 30. Printed in Lords' Journals, Vol. V., pp. 445, 446.]

money to supply the pressing occasions of this kingdom, assaulted with many
dangers, hear that the loan of moneys in your county has made such happy pro-
gress that it has reached 40,000l., which would be a very seasonable supply. We
therefore desire you to send up the said sum safely to the treasurers appointed
at Guildhall, and to give us notice by the bearer, whom we send up express,
when we may expect it, that further guard may be appointed for its safe convoy
if needful. This will be a very acceptable service to both Houses of Parlia-
ment. [41, pp. 32, 33.]

18. Order in the House of Commons referring to the Haberdashers' Hall
Committee to receive information from Mary Dickenson about a discovery of
concealed delinquents' goods, and to allow her such proportion as is directed by
the Ordinance, she pursuing the directions of the House about such discoveries.
[page.]
19. County Commissioners for Lancashire to the Committee for Advance of
Money. There was an order of the House that Col. Rigby's soldiers should
have the benefit of their discoveries of delinquents towards their arrears.
They have deserved well, and we will do our best in any just way to procure
them money for their pressing necessities, and therefore will not oppose that
order, so that it do not extend to persons sequestrable in this county. The
Ordinance of Sequestration is fully executed when the people are well affected,
but in Col. Rigby's division, most of the people were sequestrable, but few
sequestered, because the condition of the county would not admit it with safety;
and few of the County Commissioners had taken their oaths to execute the
Ordinance.
It would be very dangerous to proceed till Latham is reduced, and
to pay these soldiers most of their arrears, while the rest of the soldiers
now on duty have no such provision, would cause mutiny and discontent.
If the service at Latham should be deserted, the whole county would be
endangered. Therefore, if such be offered to you as concealments, which we
think are not, we beg to be heard before you pass them. [1 page.]
Whereas the Sequestration Committee for Westminster seized a year ago
the Earl of Worcester's house in Long Acre, lately held by the Emperor's agent,
which was long before any seizure by this committee, and the Westminster
Committee have let it to Maj. Gen. Skippon, on Order in the House of Commons
of 12 July instant ;-Order confirming this, any previous order notwithstanding,
and Sir John Clotworthy to deliver the keys of the house to Mr. Burr, agent
of this committee. [A 4, p. 219.]
On information of goods and estate concealed in the houses of Mr. Gifford
and Mr. Mitchell, chandlers, in Lutener's Lane, belonging to John Mircham
Arrell [or O'Beal] and Mary Roem Arrell, Irish rebels, order that the goods be
seized and secured, and an account returned to this committee. With writ of
assistance. [A 4, p. 220.]
Information that several sums of money and goods of Mr. Moore, a Papist,
are remaining in and about his house near Gubbins, North Mynns, co. Herts.
[A 21, p. 18.]
Order that the said goods be searched for, seized, inventoried, and brought
to this committee. [A 4, p. 221.]
20. Col. Alex. Rigby to the Committee for Advance of Money. I am much
grieved by the necessities of my poor distressed soldiers, so faithful to the
public amidst many discouragements, and at last I got an Order in the House
of Commons which did not limit their discoveries to any place, so I thought it
best to seek delinquents in co. Lancaster, in the quarters where they had done
most service in the division known as mine. I assigned 4,000l. to Col. Ralph
Ashton's soldiers, and mine helped them to get it in, but this caused no
disappointment or mutiny.
It is said that the sequestration Ordinance has been executed in the well-
affected part of the county, but that is only parts of Salford and Blackburn
Hundreds; Derby Hundred, the largest, abounds in unsequestered estates,
and there I sequestered those of the greatest men, but my attendance in several
leaguers in 5 months, and other public service diverted my proceeding
further. Other sequestration committees often resorted to my division to
negotiate for sequestrations, and if any have slipped their hands, they may be
taken as concealments, and their discovery as acceptable to the State. If my
soldiers discover them, nothing is diverted from the publle, but due arrears are
paid to the discoverers, and the rest to the State. It is said that other soldiers
are left unprovided for, but Col. Shutleworth's, in the next division to me, have

the whole benefit of their discoveries. I wish the subscribers of the letter [see
No. 19, supra] knew what it is to hear the cry of the soldiers for pay. I hope
they will hinder the illegal proceedings of other colonels. If they obstruct my
order, and do not examine the delinquencies, I fear the soldiers will disband, to
my great grief. [13 pages.]
21. Commissioners for Lancashire to the Committee for Advance of
Money. We will join heartily with Coi. Rigby in any course to the equal
payment of the arrears of all the soldiers in the county, but we fear the business
before you is contrary to that end. We do not know that Col. Shuttleworth
has employed sequestration for the arrears of his soldiers, but if he has, we
shall oppose him in it. We hear that the whole profits of the country, and
a tax of 4,000l. a month, which is far above what it is able to pay, will hardly
keep them together, but they mutiny and desert the service. There was a
division wherein Col. Ashton acted, but it was not allotted to him for payment
of his soldiers only; 3,000l. of sequestration money was allotted to them, but
the soldiers hardly made their money, as it was paid in chairs and stools,
and household goods, and it was not an allowance from Col. Rigby, but a debt
to Col. Ashton's soldiers, who were most in arrears, and had cleared from the
enemy that part which Col. Rigby now takes for his own. Also, Ashton gave
him 2 foot companies to begin his regiment, to which he never added 300 more,
and has only 1 or 2 officers who were in service when the Earl of Derby was
beaten out of the country. Therefore the old soldiers are likely to mutiny, if
they see the others paid first. [1 pages.]
On information of goods and moneys of delinquents concealed in and about
the house of Mrs. Smith, Cursitor's Alley, Chancery Lane, order that they be
seized, inventoried, and brought away. [4 4, p. 224.]
Order that the goods now in custody of Mr. Nicolls, of Haberdashers' Hall,

whence they were removed.

Jesuits or Papists brought before the Committee for Examinations. [4A 4,
p. 231.]
The order of 30 June touching the sequestration and disposal of the estates
of certain delinquents in Lancashire rescinded, a great part of their estates

executed. [4 4, p. 234.]
Information that there are several goods, money, and plate belonging to
delinquents concealed in the house of Mr. Emery, Popinjay Alley, Fleet Street.

resistance. [A 4, p. 236.]

Treasurers should have the Public Faith for the same; and whereas some
moneys have not been paid at Guildhall, but to the Committee for Advance
of Money, order that those who pay within the limited time, and have the
attestation of the clerk of this committee and the treasurer, shall have
the Public Faith for their and. The said treasurer and clerk to keep an
account unto what persons, and for what sums it is given. [Printed, 1 page,

36. The County Committee for Wiltshire to Mr. Dallison.
Our memories cannot contain all we would wish to say, but if we were to
write at full the slight opinion the county [sequestration ?] committee and
others countenanced by them have of the Committee for Advance of Money,
the vile opposing of their orders, to the threatening us, it would be thought
that the King's party would not do as much as has been done or threatened by
them. Lest we be thought deficient in maintaining the committee's honour
and power, we will hazard the utmost, believing they will not allow us, their
servants, to be abused and set at nought, and their orders contradicted. We
hope the committee will stand up for themselves, for if we are baffled here, the
same must be expected everywhere. These fellows should suffer for their
insolency, and defray the charges we are put to by their means. Mr. Coles
says he has obtained a judgment and elegit from the Commissioners for Seques-
trations for the 3 of Sir Jas. Thynne's estate for the old lady, and half the other
for arrears, so that the State should have nothing, and this is since we seques-
tered the estate. She has carried away 30,000l. in money and personalty, and
Coles, being both sequestrator and collector, has delayed sequestrating the
estate on purpose to advantage Lady Thynne and prejudice the State. They
now disturb us as to estates on which there was no former sequestration, but
promise forbearance if we will desist from Sir Jas. Thynne's estate. [1 page.]
Mr. Lane to pay 40s. to two persons who have been serviceable to this com-
mittee. [44, p. 358.]

We received yours of 23 Dec. on 31 Dec., and issued orders to our receivers
and treasurers to bring in their moneys, of which are payable to the State,
and to the treasurers of the county for its use. We hope not to be thought
backward for detaining small sums which would not have paid for their carriage.
We returned a schedule to Guildball, in Michaelmas 1643, but since then the
Ordinances for Assessments have directed another course. We have sent our
accounts as ordered, and hope not to be put to accumulated trouble. The se-
questrations here are low, on account of the many compositions of delinquents,
and they decrease daily, as do our rentals and schedules. If you will give us
time, we will satisfy you as well as our other public engagements will permit.

Feb. 2. 10. Commissioners for Sequestrations for co. Bedford to the Sequestration
St. Alban's. Committee. As to that part of your letter that concerns moneys received upon
sequestration, we have sent up our treasurer herewith to pay in his receipts.
The last payment he made was 2001. more than he had received, so that we
have not been remiss in our payments. The not sending up the schedules of
the appraisement of the personal estates of persons sequestered, according to
the Ordinance, has rested wholly upon the default of the Solicitor of
Sequestrations appointed by the committee, but they shall be sent up by the
25th inst. [1 page.]

Capt. Norton, Abbott's Leigh, who lives at a high rate, having 1,0007. a year.

12. County Commissioners for Warwickshire to the Committee for Advance
of Money. We have received your order, and that of the House of Commons of
10 November, ordering us to pay in all our sequestration money. This county
was the first in the kingdom attempted by the enemies, Warwick Castle and
Coventry besieged, and divers garrisons of the enemy were in and about the
county, which enforced us to raise a greater militia of horse and foot, and erect
many more garrisons in this county than in any other about us, both to drive
out the enemy and secure the county. This we did partly by taxes and partly
by sequestration, which then yielded very little, because none durst be tenants
but the owners or their agents, as the enemy seized the cattle of those who
rented sequestered estates, and drove them away prisoners; we had therefore
to borrow large sums, which are not yet repaid.
Also many of us maintained soldiers at our own charge, for which we have
had no recompense, so that all the sequestrations and assessments of the county
come very short of the maintaining of the militia, which we carried on till
their reducing was ordered by Parliament.
Our treasurer has often given accounts to the Committee of Accounts,
and the last time there was 1757. due to him. Since the reduction of
the militia and taxes, by order of the House, we had to promise the reduced
lieutenants and other under-officers a good sum, not yet paid Also by
Parliament Order we have disbursed 1,600/. for advance of forces for Ireland,
of which we still owe 6907., beside great sums,-for which some Parliamentary
men of the committee are engaged-which were borrowed to provide arms and
ammunition, aud raise forces, when Lord Brooke first took upon him the
command of the associated counties of Warwick and Stafford. We have had
no moneys from the State, either to pay the militia or disband them when
reduced, or to advance money for those that went for Ireland (being 4 foot
companies and one troop of horse) when almost all the counties bordering on
the enemy have had liberal contributions from the State.
As we have had nothing for our pains, we trust we shall not be left in debt
for the public, as we must be if the sequestrations are disposed of before the
debts are paid. [2 pages.]
Mr. Doyley to have the arrears of his allowance, appointed by both Houses

execution all ordinances and instructions concerning sequestrations, and send up
a schedule of the estates of Papists and delinquents sequestered, and such money
as has been received to the treasurers at Guildhall, we beg to state that Par-
liament, by their Ordinance of 13 June 1644, taking into consideration the
then condition of this county, authorised the commissioners here to apply the
moneys so raised for the maintenance of such forces as they should raise for the
service of the Parliament, with which forces we have reduced the county to the
obedience of Parliament, and have therein expended greater sums than have
been, or could be, as yet raised here, and there are yet great sums in arrear to
the commanders and officers employed in that service. There is a troop of
horse and the two garrisons of Shrewsbury and Ludlow Castle, which are
continued until further order, and are to be maintained out of the said seques-
tered estates. [1 page.]

17. Commissioners for Sequestrations for County Gloucester to the Com-
mittee for Advance of Money at Haberdashers' Hall. We received your express,
requiring us to send up a schedule of the personal estate of all Papists and
delinquents within our county, as also of all money received and paid, together
with the balance in hand, to the treasurers at Guildhall by the 30th inst., by
virtue of the Ordinance of Parliament of 19 August 1643; but the same might
have been more properly given by the committee who transacted the work at
that time, and who are now dead, removed, or absent, than by us, who are but
newly appointed, and strangers to the work; nevertheless, we have examined
the records, and sent up the schedules. Though some of the compositions may
seem low, we are confident they were made at the time upon very good reasons,
as the country was then in a miserable condition. The money you write of the
committee have paid, according to an Ordinance of Parliament of 10 May
1664, for maintenance of this garrison, which otherwise could not have been
kept up, and have accounted for the same, so that nothing now remains in our
hands. [1 pages.]

so that they cannot apply to the committee to settle their assessments.
2. The Ordinance limiting the committee's power to levy the to those
who are under sequestration, so that now they must be proved delinquents
before they pay the, though they never paid elsewhere, or not in pro-
portion to their estates.
20
3. When they have compounded, they pay their and in the country,

5. The distraction of the times preventing officers from travelling to levy

6. The irregular meeting of the Committee for Advance of Money, because
of the great affairs of the Houses.
The remedies proposed are as follows:-
1. Leave for those who have compounded to come to town 10 at a time, for
10 days, to pay their.
2. That the Ordinance may extend only to those assessed after its date, not
to those assessed before, many of whom, that were not delinquents, were
respited till their lands were freed from the power of the King's army, and
many are delinquents not sequestered, and never paid their 26, or not in pro-
portion to their estates.
3. That the Ordinance may enforce all that compound at Goldsmiths' Hall
to pay their and to the Committee for Advance of Money.
ō
4. That only such debts be allowed as were incurred before 24 June

Petition of Thomas Almon, M.A., Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, to
the House of Commons, that Richard Johnson and Thomas Crouch, and their
accomplices, may be called in question for misdemeanors.
At the time of the first war against Parliament, the plague being in Cam-
bridge, the College was broken up, and most of the Fellows were sent
away, but Crouch, Johnson, and 7 others remained; and taking advantage of
the absence of the rest, seized on such plate and moneys as were then in the
college, to the value of 5001., and 800 ounces of plate, and carried them to
York, to be used in the war against Parliament, to the hazard of life, liberty,
and religion. Has long expected that these offenders would be called on to
make good the damage to the State and college, but instead of that, they make
themselves disposers of all things in the College,-though against its statutes,
and the Ordinances of Parliament,-tyrannize over those who have been cordial
to Parliament, and abet its foes. Can prove what he says, having long lived
in the college; begs that the men may be questioned, the college reformed, and
God glorified. [A 21, p. 173.]

Committee for Advance of Money to the Commissioners for Compounding.
There are many discoveries made to this committee of persons who, either by
favour from the County Committees escaped sequestration, or whose delin-
quencies have been concealed till now, and many of them address you,
pretend to have discovered their own delinquencies, and desire to compound
on the late votes of Parliament, though there has been a judicial discovery
elsewhere, which is an injury to the State. We propose that, before admitting
them as their own discoverers, you require them to bring a certificate from
the County Committees or from this committee that they have not been
discovered before, in order to hinder this abuse. [A 24, p. 53.]

The Committee for Advance of Money to "my Lords and Gentlemen'
[Council of State.]
By Parliament Order of 16 Oct. last, several well-affected persons
advanced money, to be repaid from the compositions of the Duke of Bucking-
ham and William Stafford, but have as yet received nothing. We asked that
Stafford's composition should be paid to our treasurer, but the Goldsmiths' Hall
Treasurers inform us that they can pay no moneys without your approbation.
We therefore beg you to signify to them your consent for this payment, or many
persons concerned will be very much prejudiced. [A 24, p. 59.]
""
Order on a Parliament Order of 19 Sept., for 20s. a week for 6 months to
Mrs. Arthington. [A 7, p. 277.]
22. Statement of Martin Dallison. On presenting my petition for dismissal
19 October, I was ordered to give in my grounds in writing, and to state what
allowances I and Dan. Cox bave had from the House or this committee.
I became clerk in November 1642. I was at once involved in a multiplicity
of employments, so that I was usually at Haberdashers' Hall till 1 a.m., and
when I came home, worked till 3, 4, or 5 a.m. This brought on cough, blood-
spitting, and disease of the spleen. I lost thereby my profession of public
notary, so that the House of Commons settled on me 91. 16s. Od. a week during
employment. Mr. Cox was my apprentice, and took my place when, in May
1643, I attended the Committee for Mitigation. Your committee, noting his
readiness in taking information of those who had not paid their, allowed
him first d. and then 1d. in the pound; and later, when the power of seques-
tration was in November 1646 given to this committee, he was raised to 41.
a week.
My reason for wishing to retire is that now the Mitigation Committee is dis-
solving, and Cox has really taken up the work in the Committee for Advance
of Money, so I am jostled out of employment, and as I am weak, and unable
to carry on the full business, I ought not to be chargeable to the State, but it
is groundless to suppose I have got an estate by my employment. My expenses
have been 3681. a year, and I have only received about 100l. a year in casual-
ties, as Mr. Cox, without my order or consent, has usurped the signing of
papers in my name. These are the grounds on which I beg dismissal.
[Draft, 33 pages.]
Order on his petition showing that weakness disenables him to attend the
committee as formerly, that he be dismissed, and Dan. Cox admitted as clerk.
[▲ 7, p. 323.}
23. Petition of Capt. Thos. Robinson, of co. Derby, for of concealed
Papists' and delinquents' estates to be discovered by him in his county, ac-
cording to the Parliament Order thereon, and for an order to the County
Committees to examine the cases. Was captain of dragoons, and spent 2251.
in raising his troop, and lost 2687. by the enemy. Has only received 70l. 9s. Od.
for his service, disbursements, and losses, and his estate is in danger of for-
feiture for moneys borrowed. [1 page.]

versus wine patentees and others. [4 28, p. 89.]
39. Remedies proposed for obstructions in the proceedings of the Com-
mittee for Advance of Money:
1. Many persons who have made discoveries of delinquents' estates, and are pre-
pared to make more, refrain, because the committee are not empowered to
issue the money, and when at great pains and charge, money is received,
they have to wait a Parliament Order for its issuing, and this is not
easy to obtain, because of the great business on hand, and thus money
and estates are lost, or received by the delinquents, and perhaps used
against Parliament.
2. Persous employed by the late Sequestration Commissioners cannot go on
without salary and payment of expenses, so that the business is almost
at a stand, and the commisioners cannot even procure fire, candles,
stationery, &c.
3. Divers persons could make great discoveries, if allowed the half towards
arrears of pay or debts due by Parliament, and this would save a great
deal of clamour at the House door for arrears, and greatly lessen the
public engagements.

9. Thos. Jarvis to
Many delinquents have compounded at Haber-
dashers' Hall on their first particular, and have since compounded on new
particulars, either on their own discovery or that of others, on which they
have paid no, nor been questioned for it. Many compounded on Oxford
articles, which freed them if they compounded within 6 months after the
surrender, but for these later estates, they did not compound within 6 months.
This is likely to bring in more money than the first compositions, on which
all the debts were allowed, therefore none will have to be allowed on this
second.
I named this to you before I was dismissed my employment, and now it is
on my conscience to deliver it. [1 page.]

even if they have already agreed for payment, or else we may levy it on them,
as several take advantage of their discharge to deprive us of it. We will serve
Parliament faithfully, and we desire you seriously to consider the things dis-
allowed in our accounts, especially our salary for moneys paid by your order,
which we hold to be as good as though paid at Goldsmiths' Hall; also 81. 1s. Od.
charged for one of us coming up,-10 days coming up and down, and a month's
stay in London on your order. Such deductions "take up a good deal of our
salary, far contrary to what we hoped and expected."
P.S.-We now return by bill to the Goldsmiths' Hall Treasurer 4201., which
makes 1,8901. returned in all, and we hope you will allow us a fit salary as
treasurers. With marginal notes of reply that the Committee for Advance of
Money will ascertain whether 6d. in the pound is to be allowed on the that

a clause will be inserted for their payment in future; and that the allowance
will be referred to the Army Committee's decision. [1 page.]

among which is Mr. Putt's charge. We believe, by what was done against the
prosecutors and threatened against us, that he is the chief cause of the trouble
put on us in this journey. The prosecutors have urged warrants to examine
more witnesses and complete their proofs, but his being high sheriff of the
county made us as modest therein as we could be, lest he should plead that as
an obstruction to his work; also we could not well attend to it, because of our
employment in the county militia. We send examinations in several cases of
delinquents. [Some are in Tables 23 January and 8 July 1651; of the remainder,
being eight, there is no further account.]
We send particulars of the money received, part is to be paid in to the treasury,
and the rest will be returned as speedily as possible. The tenants complain
much of an unexpected charge of free quarter, contrary to order, and of high
rents; they clamour for allowance, or they will be enforced to leave their

some of the estates have been seized 3 months, and no appeal made to us, and
that several, if not most, or all of the persons still enjoy their estates. We
desire you, according to the 5th instruction, to sequester the estates of all

in this county who appeared for Charles Stuart, son of the late King, except
John Sayer [see Tables]. Berchenhead, of Northwich, was discharged from
sequestration as not worth 2007.; his estate is only 37. or 41. a year, and his family
live partly on charity. He was bailiff to the Earl of Derby, and on Charles
Stuart's coming to Northwich, proclaimed him King, went with the earl to
Lancashire, escaped in the rout at Wigan, and is now living in or near London.
Sonne of Nantwich gave money to Charles Stuart, to preserve the town
from plunder; we will inquire into this. Most of this county declared for
Parliament, and 4 regiments of foot, and one large troop of horse, raised at the
county's charge, marched to Worcester, and were at the battle. The old
delinquents that had compounded aided the said troops, and kept aloof from
Charles Stuart. Direct us if any discovery is made to you, not known to us.

Money. You ask us to certify our receipts on assessments for the before

persons whom you ordered us to sequester paid in their moneys at Haber-
dashers' Hall. The Act [of Pardon] has put a stop to all orders received since.
[page.]
99. List of cases and reports set down for hearing. [1 pages.]
100. E. Wall to Dallison. When yours of the 7th came, the commissioners
had adjourned, and were on business about their accounts and keeping courts
on sequestered estates, but I gave it to Mr. Cunliffe. He fears that if the
witnesses are re-examined, many will deny what they affirmed, this being
often done in composition cases, and he wants to know whether it is needful
in all cases, or only in those where only one witness was examined. [1 page.]
M. Dallison to E. Wall, clerk to the County Commissioners for Lancashire.
In answer to yours of the 9th, I do not think that by the letter of the
Committee for Advance of Money of the 4th, they wished you to re-examine
witnesses already examined, but to take distinct, and not promiscuous
depositions. [A 25, p. 7.]
101. County Commissioners for Westmoreland to the Committee for Advance
of Money. By your order of 13 April, we have examined those who were in
arms with Charles Stuart in the last engagement, and sent the examinations,
and seized their estates. We will try to find out more.
We intend to send up all the Court rolls, and an account of the moneys
received by way of fines. We are in hand with the old accounts, but the work
is difficult and takes much time. [1 page.]
Committee for Advance of Money to the County Commissioners for Cornwall.
You are not henceforth to give certificates for money paid on the propositions,
or for and, on pretence of the originals being mislaid or lost, until you
have a
certificate from our registrar that the party has not used his
acquittance at Haberdashers' Hall by having the money deducted from his
paid formerly. In these cases we have taken the acquittances; and if they
have new certificates, they may double the money, and thus raise a present
profit on what has been already allowed in part of their assessments. ~ [4 25,
p. 11.]
102. All cases of delinquency in the former and latter wars to be heard

both certify that they have examined all their witnesses, unless special order
is given where there is not effectual prosecution. [page; also ▲ 12, p. 27.]

The Solicitor for the State to see that all orders for the benefit of the State be
drawn up by the registrars, and sent to the commissioners of the several counties

106. Ralph Rymer to Jos. Beverley, agent to the Committee for Advance
of Money for co. York; to be left with M. Dallison. I send an answer to
yours about the 500l. I have directed payment of 2007. more, and if more is due
on my books, I will pay it. Baylie has sent an answer to our queries about the
papers left with him, but those in Mr. Leech's charge are not sent, nor the
contracts which are confirmed, only an order naming that they are confirmed.
[1 page.] Enclosing,
106. 1. Walter Rasby to Ralph Rymer. You have written me to pay the 5007. to
Haberdashers' Hall, but my master ordered me to pay it to Goldsmiths'
Hall. Let me have a line about it. London, 26 June. With Rymer's reply
requesting him to pay it to Mr. Dawson at Haberdashers' Hall, and take his
receipt. 29 June, York. [1 page.]
107. Mr. Dawson to perfect his accounts with the auditor in 10 days, and
Herring and Waring henceforth to be treasurers to the Committee for Advance
of Money, and keep separate accounts for them. [3 page.]
108. Whereas by Act of Parliament of 4 Feb. 1652, all titles of honour
granted by the late King since 4 Jan. 1642 are made void, and are to be
brought into the Court of Chancery by their owners, under a penalty; and
whereas Sir Rob. Thorold states that, in a trunk seized by the late Committee
for Advance of Money, as belonging to Rob. Squibb, there is a patent for a
baronetcy conferred on him at Oxford, 14 June 1644, which he desires to have,
that he may deliver it up accordingly; -order that the treasurer deliver over
the said patent to the Commissioners of the Great Seal. [1 page, A 12, p. 53.]
Committee for Advance of Money to the County Commissioners of Lanca-
shire. On reading your depositions in the case of Hen. Houghton, we find
many things in which we are not satisfied, and therefore cannot proceed to
judgment, viz., whether the witnesses were examined on interrogatories, or
answered viva voce to questions propounded by you; whether they brought
their depositions ready drawn and subscribed, which were accepted by you.
Some of the depositions in this and other cases are taken before Mr. Sawrey
and Fell, who are not authorised commissioners. Were these acknowledged
by the deponents before you as commissioners? Many persons examined
swore to the delinquency of many in a promiscuous and disorderly way, so
we are sending for 4 to be examined by our examiner. [A 25, p. 17. See
Henry Houghton, in Cases.]
109. County Commissioners for Worcestershire to the Committee for Advance
of Money. Request for directions in particular cases. The cattle of several
of the tenants to whom we have leased sequestered estates have been driven
away by the sheriff, for the debts of the proprietors of the land, and the tenants
expect defalcation of their rents. We send a list of sequestered manors of
which the courts are still to be kept. [2 pages.] Enclosing,
109. I. List of 8 sequestered manors in the county, with the names of the
owners. [ page.]
110. Whereas the committee ordered all moneys coming into Haberdashers'
Hall to be paid to the treasurers at Goldsmiths' Hall, and whereas several
sums are charged by Parliament Order on Haberdashers' Hall, and the
persons to whom they are due beg orders for payment, the Goldsmiths' Hall
Treasurers are to pay the several sums which Treasurer Dawson was formerly
ordered to pay, the orders being first attested by the auditor.

letter of 14 July last. It is unusual for complaints to come to them under
your hands; it should be done by petitions of the complainers, which you should
transmit to the committee before the day of appearance. Your letter now sent

Committee for Advance of Money to the County Commissioners for Worcester-
shire. We hear of erasures in some of your books and orders about Edm.
Broad, against whom examinations were taken, and judgment of delinquency
given by the late Committee for Advance of Money; you are to examine and
certify; also to examine witnesses against Wm. Pardoe, to discover by whom
the erasure was made, and whether it be a matter of bribery. [4 25, p. 25.]
112. E. Wall, clerk to the County Commissioners for Lancashire, to
Dallison. Particulars of cases :-I find duplicates of orders for sequestrations
or discharges are expected. I sent up those since Oct. 1645, when I was first
employed as clerk to the late county commissioners, and they were delivered
to Aud. Sherwin, also the books of Mr. Okey, late auditor here.
I have been at much charge in transcribing the duplicates, and my salary
being small, I hope this will be considered in my pay or allowance. [ page.]
113. Geo. Farrington to Dallison. The trustees [for plundered ministers ?]
are very anxious to procure orders to the sub-commissioners, as the desires are
just, and the neccessities of the ministers very urgent. The sub-commissioners
allege the 35th instruction which inhibits their paying without orders. [1 page.]
Whereas before 30 June last, several orders were issued by the Committee for
Advance of Money to Rich. Waring and Mich. Herring, treasurers of Gold-
smiths' Hall, for payment of of moneys paid in for compositions to the dis-
coverers of the estates, according to the Parliamentary Order of 8 Aug. 1650,
allowing to discoverers, and also other payments to be made from composition
moneys;-order that these stand as entered, but that distinct accounts be kept
henceforth for the receipts and payments for the Committee for Advance of
Money, since 30 June 1652, when they were ordered to be treasurers in Dawson's
stead. [4 12, p. 149.]

Committee for Advance of Money to the County Commissioners for Lanca-
shire. We find that the depositions sent up against persons for acting against
Parliament, when the Earl of Derby and his forces were in your county, were
taken by the Militia Commissioners or others, and not by you. We desire you
to send for the witnesses, take their acknowledgments of their depositions, and
certify us. [4 25, p. 26.]

his hands, and due on his account as treasurer. [page; also A 12, p. 151].
Committee for Advance of Money to the Commissioners of cos. Worcester
and Lancaster. You have returned several delinquents who are not prose-
cuting their appeals to us, but you do not give their qualities or addresses;
we think some are persons of small estates, but we desire further par-
ticulars, and you are to have their estates in your own or any other county
seized. Repeated 23 Oct. [A 25, pp. 29, 32.]

Haberdashers' missioners for Middlesex have returned a list from the treasurer and ageut
of the late County Committee for Westminster, of persons who owe money for
delinquents' goods purchased of them, and you are returned as owing 54l. 10s.
for goods of the Earl of Derby. We spoke to you of it before, when you said
you knew nothing of it, but now we have particulars of the goods, and there-
fore, in discharge of our public duty, we request you to pay the money
forthwith, or show cause for non-payment. [1 page.]

ordered them 7 Jan. 1651, for rent of their hall, and for its payment quarterly in
future. [4 12, p. 166.]
116. List of 4 persons adjudged delinquents by the Committee for Advance
of Money for acts committed since 30 Jan. 1649. [‡ page.]
The committee, being sensible of the great pains of their registrars in alpha-
betizing and methodizing their books and papers, whereby they produce them
readily when needed, to the great advantage of the State, and they having
reported their trouble and time spent in searches, and requesting a certain fee
for their searches ;-order that they be allowed 4d. for each search made last
year, and other years to come. [4 12, p. 175.]
117. County commissioners to the Committee for Advance of Money. In
reply to yours of 19 March, 12 August, and 15 and 16 September 1652, with a
printed list of convicted recusants, we cannot learn of any Popish recusants in
this or any other county. We have directed warrants to the treasurers,
collectors, sequestrators, and all others who ought to give in accounts, to
appear before us.
Particulars of cases. We have 1601. in hand, and wish the
Treasurers-at-war would order the payment of it, on their first occasion for
disbursement of money. [1 pages.] Enclosing,

being dismissed. [2 copies, 1 page each; one with certificate by Aud. Sherwin,

rest of the 2001. ordered her by Parliament, 13 April 1652, paid from Gold-
smiths' Hall, the Haberdashers' Hall treasury being dissolved. [4 12, p. 192.]
-
As many motions are made, and petitions prepared, in which part of the
previous proceedings in the case, though copies have been obtained from the
registrars, are kept back, whereby the committee lose time, and have to search
the proceedings hastily, and thus some may overslip ;-order that in future no
order shall issue for suspension of sequestration or seizure, till the registrar's
certificate is produced, with copies of all proceedings. The registrars are, in
their certificates, to mention such proceedings. This order to be posted on the
doors and in the rooms, that solicitors and all others concerned may take notice
of it. [A 12, p. 206.]
120. County Commissioners for Cardiganshire to the Committee for Advance
of Money. We have called before us Thos. Evans, registrar to the late sub-
committee of accounts in this county, but he refused either to be examined about
his papers and acquittances, or to deliver them up. Thereupon we committed
him to Oliver Lloyd, mayor of Tregaron, and one of the coroners of this county,
requiring that he should be forthcoming when called for. Next morning we
sent for him, but Lloyd refused to bring him before us, and used opprobrious
words in affront to our authority; so we committed him, and he remains in
restraint till we hear from you.
Hearing that Thomas Lloyd Bishop proclaimed at Caron, a market town,
that some of us were traitors and delinquents, and were incapable of our place,
we called him before us, and he said he meant David Hughes, one of the com-
missioners. For this affront, we committed him to the high constable, to be
brought to the sheriff's gaol, but he would not obey our authority. We leave it
to you to maintain our power. Signed by Rees Evans and David Hughes.

beheaded at Carlisle, by order of a court martial; one is dead, and one gone
to Ireland, where he lives. [ page.]
Committee for Advance of Money to the County Commissioners for
Worcestershire. We have yours with the list of estates of persons in your
county secured for delinquency, and you ask the names of any more persons
against whom witnesses have been examined. In yours of 29 October 1651, we
find only one witness was examined against divers persons in the enclosed list,
and we expected you would have taken further proofs long ere this, many
being persons of note, who must have been observed if in arms with the King
of Scots at Worcester fight. We beg you forthwith to make further inquiry,
and transmit the depositions to us as Committee for Advance of Money.
Annexing,
1. List of 14 persons concerning whom only one witness was examined, for proof
of delinquency since 30 January 1649. [A 25, p. 48.]
Whereas we have several orders from the Committee for relief on articles of
War to certify what proceedings are before us, which we directed our registrars
to certify; considering the weight of such certificates, for a more regular
proceeding therein, we order our registrar and auditor to make certificates of
all material proceedings in their custody, and deliver them to Reading or
Brereton, to state in a report to be sent to the Court of Articles. [412, p. 289.]
Committee for Advance of Money to the County Commissioners of Worcester-
shire. In yours of 8 October 1651, with a list of persons whose estates
you had seized for adhering to the King of Scots at Worcester, you said you
were finding out proofs. Return speedily those already taken, and where you
have not sufficient proof, be diligent in examining further witnesses; and to
prevent the prejudice happening by delay, send us speedy returns, for the
benefit of the State, whose interest we hope you are not backward to promote.
Annexing,
1. List of 43 persons named in the letter alluded to, against whom no depositions
have been taken.
II. List of 14 against whom only one deposition has been taken. [A 25,

Committee for Advance of Money, to the County Commissioners of co.

require Oliver Lloyd to produce Evans, and commit him to custody till he
conforms. Lloyd is to be discharged if he produce him; he must appear be-
fore us within 3 weeks, to show cause. On the latter part of your letter we
give no direction; you might have forborne prosecutions in matters relating
only to yourselves. [A 25, p. 56.]

for Advance of Money. There remains unpaid, on 6 Parliamentary warrants
named, 6,1137. 6s. 10d. There are orders for payments on discoveries and weekly
pensions charged on this receipt. I cannot give an estimate of moneys to
come, but there are large sums due on the Yorkshire and Oxford engagements;
also from Sir John Danvers, Ald. Reynardson, and Sir Jas. Stonehouse; also
debts sequestered before Dec. last, and not included in the Act of Pardon.

1. Opinion of Mr. Brereton, that though persons are not to have the benefit

Ordinance of Parliament, yet an exception from the Act of South Wales would
not except from the Act of Pardon.page.]

4. W. Westrow, to the Commissioners for Indemnity Committee for
Advance of Money]. You have summoned Messrs. Deeds, Weller, Greenland,
and Curtis, of Hythe, before you as guilty of delinquency, and punishable for
being in office contrary to the Act. Being a burgess of this town, these
persons have been much under my observation; they have constantly con-
formed to Parliamentary authority, and some have shown much affection to
Parliament's cause. At the rising in Kent, when many honest men were
entangled by the specious pretence of a petition, they and the rest of the town
were acquitted by the County Committee, on trial of some of them who were
then principal governors of the town. They had not formal [dis]charges, be-
cause it was not supposed they would be again questioned. I think this to be
a malicious information, and I hope they may be speedily dismissed, or else
allowed to examine their witnesses in the country, to save them trouble and
charge. [1 page.]

Committee for Advance of Money to the County Commissioners of In
reply to your queries about seizing and securing the estates of those against
whom you have examined witnesses for proof of delinquency since 1649, we en-
close a copy of the orders of Parliament by which we now act, advising that you
seize and secure on proofs of 2 witnesses, returning us the depositions, with the
time of seizing, and the value of the estate, whereupon we will order publica-
tion and hearing. [A 25, p. 96.]
Committee for Advance of Money to the County Commissioners of Cumber-
land. We understand that you gave John Senhouse copies of the depositions
against him, that he might make his defence. It is contrary to the proceed-
ings of all courts to give copies before publication. We wish you not to do it
in future, nor to permit any persons concerned to be present at or privy to
examinations. Did you give copies of the depositions taken in Lancashire? if
so, that witness must be examined again, as well as the others, and cross-
examined by the defendant. [A 25, p. 74.]

cause we cannot advance 2,500l. towards the 50,000l. lately

30,000l. which he will let rest on the Public Faith, will pay

16 April 1643. Gilb. Morewood to John Mould. I find by yours 88
how hardly I am proceeded against in London; if they knew
my condition they would pity me. I am still a prisoner; the
Colonel knows what money I have lent Parliament, and would
protect me if I would lend him a good sum. They fetch away
by cart and horse all the provisions I have about me. To-day,
they broke open my stable door and took 5 of my best horses.

freight and charges, beg to propound-

You beg the loan of 1,100l. whereon we summoned the com-
pany, but considering the ill-consequences that would follow
in future, we must beg to be excused. The unhappy differ-
ences in the kingdom have enforced many assessments, and
some of us have received tickets of assessment, and this loan
would be considered a tax, and made a precedent. We beg
you not to be displeased with us, but we fear inconvenience to
the company, and offence to the State of the Low Countries,
our superiors.

involved in disgrace by your brother Thos. Nevell. I hear
nothing from him, and have nothing to satisfy the creditors
to whom he has miserably engaged me, and then left me to
ruin. I have paid some interest for him, but more is due,
and I can neither pay it nor the principal, so I must die in
prison for the most unthankful man in the world, a monster
of ingratitude, who has deprived me of all my means, and
left me to pay his debts. Could he not compound for these
bonds wherein I am bound, and not leave me totally to ruin
and misery ?
5 March. Reuben Bourne to Mr. Dallison. Mr. Nevell having 88
agreed with Parliament, and being freed out of prison to
recover the rents due to him in Cheshire, finds his lands
there sequestered by the county commissioners, and his goods
and rents carried away without order, before the sequestration
was granted, so that he can neither pay Parliament nor his
creditors, of whom I am the chief. I have not only trusted
him with money, but engaged myself for him for 5007. or
6007., which I cannot pay, so that unless he can have his
sequestration taken off, and call those to account who wronged
him, he had better have remained in prison. If you can help
him, you will much oblige your old friend.
5 May 1645. Order that Nevell's assessment of 3007. be taken
off for 501. paid and 317. made by his goods, as he has had
great losses, and that the County Commissioners for Cheshire,
who have sequestered his estate, discharge the sequestration.

Dec. 1644. Reasons assigned by Gore against his sequestration, 88 81, 82
with replies thereto.
1. He sailed for Dantzic, where he now resides with his
family, by licence, in Aug. 1643.—Answer. He had no such
licence.
2. He left the kingdom because the King sequestered his
estate [near Abingdon] in co. Oxford, value 4501. a year,
and cut down his woods, which, with arrears of rents, came
to 2,5001.—Answer. This was not done before his going beyond
seas.
3. He was compelled to go over to secure the rest of his
estate which was in the Eastland, and the Sound was blocked
up by the King of Denmark.—Answer. He had a large estate
in London in moneys and debts, and great sums have been
delivered by his agents, by exchange.
20
4. Before he went, he agreed for his and his weekly
assessments, amounting to 1,000 marks, and then to show
his affection to Parliament, lent 1007. on Public Faith. The
50 subsidies being rated six weeks after he left, he gave
order for payment, and the bill of exchange is daily expected.
-Answer. His assessments were 1,000l., being rather under
his neighbours', and he only paid 4001.
5. When he left, he took away 1,500l. in cloth and money,
which the King of Denmark seized, and has had many losses
in the Eastland, yet he will pay all assessments according to
his ability, and will return to England when he can get in
his estate in those parts.-Answer. It is reported he got off
without loss, saying he was one of the King of Denmark's
friends; before the troubles, most of his estate was in England.

in hand.

Clerke, keeper of Colchester Gaol, to take him into custody,

of Money. Having lately received a certificate from you that
Monger had paid his 401. assessment, and was a constant com-

his commitment. We think his conduct dangerous, where
there have been many endeavours to hinder the payment of
assessments, and it would much discourage the upright if he
were instantly released. I know many untruths have been
told to some M.Ps.
May 1643. Committee for Advance of Money to Walter Long. 88 163
We do not mean to liberate any man that is ill-affected, but
we could not deny Monger the justice to certify what he paid
here; we leave him to his proper place, the prison, and to
your discretion.
We will send you an order about the
recusants and ill-affected.

payment of 6501. from Rawdon's estate, and also an order for
sending petitioners' bond to the Sequestration Committee, who
the day after sent them a warrant to pay the money; to avoid
which illegal proceeding, they addressed the Committee for
Advance of Money. On the choice being given the owners,
whether to be responsible for the ship's earnings since she
was sequestered in 1643, or for the value of the ship in 1643,
they chose the latter, provided she might be impartially
valued, and 2001. allowed for demurrage in the Downs. But
since that time, shipping has sunk in value almost one-half.
They therefore beg mitigation of the sum of 3007. imposed on
them, and leave to petition the Navy Committee for pay-
ment, out of the 2007. owing them by the State for the ship's
service, of the fine imposed on them, or for its defalcation

from Windsor Castle, and carried thither. We beg you to

to bring it into Windsor Castle to be secured, which they did
without opposition from Capt. Aldridge or any other, and
I have given an account thereof to Speaker Lenthall. Since
then the County Commissioners have sent to me to have them
sold, and on my pleading the necessities of the garrison, they

above 3,0001. debts, to which his goods are liable, and left me
no interest but what the law gives. Most of our estate is in
the West country, where we receive no rents. Our lands in
Hertfordshire-my husband's mother-in-law, Lady Jennings,

Let the committee know that for the 2001. of the 1,000l. men-
tioned in the draft of an Ordinance which Sir Rob. Harley
showed me, I knew nothing of it, but the 8001. Harley
lent for the setting forth of Sir William Waller at night,
when it was greatly needed to make up the 1,000l. which he
had at his first setting forth, when my Lord-General went
towards Newport. John Carter came to me to Haberdashers'
Hall, and told me he would pay the 800l. to Harley, without
which I told him he could not have the wire. He said it was too
dear; yet as a friend of his laid down the 1,000l., he would take
it and pay the rest. The wire was put into Harley's hands for
the 8001. and this 2007.; therefore I thought an Ordinance
should be passed in Haberdashers' Hall for the 1,000l.

Advance of Money. You accuse our agent of corruption in
reference to Amy Wigmore's jointure manor of Shobdon; his
vindication is that there has been failure of producing the evi-

CASE 91 97
12 March 1651. The Gwynns petition that they paid the rent
agreed on to the Earl of Worcester, then discovered the rent to
the county. commissioners, and paid them the arrears. Then the
Committee for Irish Affairs, who had the disposal of the Earl
of Worcester's estate, claimed it; the Committee for Com-
pounding also claimed it, and in the midst of these orders,
Mr. Clarke brought them a summons to come up and pay it to
the Committee for Advance of Money, and appearance was
made, but there was not leisure to hear them.
Soon after, Rowland Gwynn was again summoned, and though
very aged and infirm, came up 160 miles with his papers, and
stayed 4 or 5 weeks at great charge; but though he much
pressed for it, he could not obtain a hearing. No sooner
had he returned than the county commissioners sequestered
all his rents, allowing him to be tenant of his estate, and
now Clarke prosecutes them with fresh orders to sequester
their whole estate, and to take needless journeys to attend the
committee, on pretence of 1,500l. concealed in their hands.
Beg that the case may be referred to the county commis-
sioners, and that petitioners may not be prosecuted in so
many places on the same matter; they also beg stay of
proceedings meantime.
9 April 1651. Committee for Advance of Money to the Com-
missioners for cos. Pembroke, Carmarthen, and Cardigan.
You say that you sequestered the rents of the lands in question,
engaged for the Gwynns' debt to the Earl of Worcester. They
say they discovered the rent to the county commissioners, and
paid in arrears. We beg you to call them before you, to examine
their deeds and acquittances, and certify the time of sequestra-
tion, and the receipts from the lands, when Aud. Sherwin
will peruse your accounts.

his estate till the case is heard. Only joined in the sale of the
land in 1639 to satisfy the late Earl of Worcester, and had
nothing to do with the alleged debt, yet his estate was seques-
tered, as well as his father's. Does not consider himself liable
for his father's debts, and has never been heard in his defence.

from your duty by the allegations of Wm. Gwynn, who claims
the Act of General Pardon. This is frivolous, because the
debt was sequestered by the late Committee for Advance of
Money in 1647 and 1648, and we have made divers orders in
the case. Proceedings detailed; no payment has been made,
all orders notwithstanding, and now we wish you speedily to
levy the 300l. ordered, and return the rent-roll of the estate,
and you shall have indemnity of Parliament for what you do.
24 March 1653. Committee for Advance of Money to the 24 64
Trustees for Sale of Delinquents' Lands. We hear that Wm.
Gwynn intends to have the lands in his mortgage surveyed as
the Earl of Worcester's lands, and then to buy them back from
the State, hoping thereby to avoid our orders, and get them
more cheaply than by paying the debt. We desire you to stay
these proceedings, and let the money due on the mortgage be
paid into our Treasury.

Jan. 1646 Col. Wm. Underwood petitions that he had com-
mand of the horse guard at Kensington, and for his better
attendance, took a ruinous house of Mr. Wheeler, M.P., at 5l.,
agreeing to do the repairs, on which he has spent 407., and
which he has used one year and part of a second. Requests
continuance therein free, as he took it for Parliament service,
aad has made it tenantable, and also lent money for support of
this kingdom, and for Ireland, beside adventuring his life in
the service, for which he has large sums owing, but only de-
sires this dwelling of Sir Rob. Fenn's.
4 Feb. 1646. Col. Underwood is to deliver the key of [Fenn's]
house in Kensington, sequestered by this committee, to Mr.
Jennour, to whom it is demised, or to the clerk of the com-
mittee.
20 Feb. Order that the collectors break open the door of the
house, and give Jennour possession.
23 March 1646. Order that, as Sir Robert has long since been
assessed at 2007., and his house at Kensington seized towards
the assessment, and as Col. Underwood has refused to deliver
up the key to Jennour, M.P., to whom this committee has
let it, the officers go to the house, demand quiet possession,
and if refused, be saved harmless in breaking open the doors
and taking possession.
15 April. The said sheriff to appear and show cause why he has
not executed the said order.

possession of the house to-morrow, the officers are to repair to

16 Sept. 1646. Sir Rob. Fenn petitions that having, by leave of 92 39
Parliament, attended on his Majesty in the duties of his
office ever since his unhappy withdrawing from London, he
was unable to pay his assessment punctually, and therefore
his estate was sequestered; but he came in before 1st Dec.
last (1645), and is since returned to a better understanding,
and by taking the negative oath and national covenant, is
enabled to compound. His wife also is now restored to her
habitation in part of his new building in Kensington (his
former mansion house being yet otherwise disposed of), she
paying the same rent as paid by Mr. Firth, who now holds it,
but is willing to resign it.
Will do his uttermost to satisfy the committee, and declare the
value of his estate on oath, and begs to be admitted to a rea-
sonable composition for his default, without having to deposit
such a sum as he could not advance except on desperate terms;
begs also that his wife may be put into possession of the rest
of his new building on the same terms.

16 Sept. Order that Sir Robert be restored to that part of his 5 101
house at Kensington now held by Firth at 41. a year, and

payment of his assessment of 2001., and he conceives that that
sum has already been paid by his tenants; he begs that an ac-
count may be taken, and he discharged of sequestration, having
already compounded for his whole estate at Goldsmiths' Hall.

rents to be made up, and then he to be heard about his
assessment of 8007.

17 Sept. 1647. Reasons by Sir Rob. Fenn why he should com-
pound for his land in fee at of one year's revenue. The im-
position is only of yearly revenue, and of personalty, on
payment of which the lender may claim the protection of the
Parliament army, and there is no fine for non-payment, except
the loss of the sum, if not paid in 10 days. When assessed
in August 1643, his usual residence was at Oxford; not knowing
of it, he could not pay, but he was not considered a delinquent
till the following December; was absolved Jan. 1644, and so re-
mained till Nov. 1645, when for some unknown causes, he was
again sequestered. If it were because he did not return from Ox-
ford on the first summons, he was bound in soul by his oath, and
in body by a powerful garrison. He did confess hiniself a de-
linquent at Goldsmiths' Hall, but he had the desperate choice
to do it, or starve himself, his wife, and his children. Thinks
the 9001. paid at Goldsmiths' Hall, with his constant paying of
Parliamentary taxes through the war, should be his purgation
for any crime, as he never bore arms, lent money, or did any
act contrary to law or Ordinance, and hazarded all his relations
in Court to cast himself at the feet of Parliament before 1 Dec.
1645.
17 Sept. The particulars of his estate to be viewed and reported

plate, &c., of great value, for which he has not accounted.
Some of these were sequestered by the County Commissioners

BISHOP OF ROCHESTER-cont.
2. I was affrighted, morning, noon, and night, with soldiers
coming for arms, horses, and money, and calling me a Popish
persecuting bishop, though I prosecuted Papists, and never
troubled any Protestant for his conscience.
3. What most moved me to depart was that, being assessed
Sept. 1643 in Kent for 5007. for my, which I could not then pay,
my estate was sequestered, and yet this committee demanded
2,000l. more assessment, and I was told that I should be
imprisoned, and my books and goods, even to my beds and coats,
were taken from me. I gave the reasons for my departure,
hoping I might return after the assessments were paid, and
withdrew to some clergy friends in Surrey, thence to Hants and
Berks, and then "my ancient near friend, the President"
brought me to Magdalen College, Oxford, where I had my diet
free, and the use of the library, and settled the possession of
some lands near Oxford.
Thence I went to friends near Chester, then to the Bishop of
Bangor, then to my old friend, the Chancellor of Hereford, thence
to my wife's kindred in Bronsfield, Salop, and to Ludlow; thence
I came voluntarily to London, and a year since last October, I
wrote to a peer and to an M.P. to procure my peace with
Parliament. I should have come up in February last, but was
prevented by sickness: I came, when better, with a pass from
the Governor of Hereford.-I protest that for 5 years past, I
have not contributed to the King by advice, action, money,
horses, arms, or any other way.
25 May 1646. Order that Dr. Warner have 14 days to send to
Shropshire, and have liberty to go to Bromley, and break open
the door of a room, sealed by this committee's officers, returning
in 14 days.
19 June 1646. The Bishop ordered to appear on Monday.
[Dec. 1646.] Petition of Sir Hen. Sanburne-I borrowed 6,000l.
of the Bishop on mortgage on Stretley manor, and have long
since paid 1,000l., and the manor is now seized into your hands.
I appeared before you last March, and declared my willingness
to sell the manor, but I cannot find a chapman, because it lies
near Wallingford, where the enemy's garrisons are. Also by my
restraint, and the practice of John Allen, who intrudes into the
manor, I cannot receive the rents towards my maintenance
and payment of the debt, and there is great waste and spoil.
I beg your assistance therein, as my lady and I are aged, and
we have 6 children unprovided for. I have lost 8,000l. by the
King's army, and the manor will not sell for its worth at the
time of the borrowing of the money.

Reasons for supposing he cannot be without money:-
1. He is very penurious, never spending more than 3001. a
year, and has an estate of 1,600l., with a stock value 3,000l., of
which he pretends to be plundered.

[Dec. 1646.] Complaint against Sanburne that, though he en- 92 175
gaged to sell the land, he did nothing in it, and it was June
before Colonel Forbes could get him to set a price on it. Then
he would not produce the title, and Forbes had to search for it in
the Rolls Office. Sir Henry declared there were no charges on
the land except 2,000l. to Lady Clarke, but it was found to be
burdened with debts exceeding by 6,0001. Sir Henry's valuation,
so that nobody will meddle with it, and Sir Henry pretends this
is because it lies so near Wallingford, which he knows to be
false. Forbes has had to be at all the trouble and expense, as
Sir Henry would do nothing.

11 Nov. 1648. Bishop of Rochester to Dallison.—I asked till Michael- 92 191
mas to pay the 1501. because I expect to receive as much from the
lands compounded for, but from Stretley (for which I have to
pay 2007.), I have in 9 years only received 417., and can expect
nothing till Lady Clarke, Mr. Barker, and the other creditors,
who have extended the lands on judgments and leases preceding
my mortgage, are satisfied. From Apse, in the Isle of Wight,
(for which I am to pay 3581.) I cannot receive a penny. As to
Monkton in Thanet (for which I am to pay 3007.), the lands and
rents are sequestered by the County Commissioners, and they
require 461. from me for land which they let to tenants who so
misused it that now it will not let at all, and there is 28. in
the pound for army charges, of which 20s. is paid by the land-
lord, and 4d. by the tenant. I beg further time, and assistance
to take off the sequestration thus unduly laid on.

2 Jan. 1644. Elton complaining that he is hindered by the County

judgment, order that he be first paid before the estate is
sequestered, the rather as he gave information of the estate,

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
30 April 1644. On the petition of John Higden [St. Clement's,
Temple Bar], stating that he had an extent on Bacon's lands
before that of Mr. Elton, who has received rent for part of the
lands, order that Higden receive the last year's rents, and that
he and Elton appear 20 May, to be heard about their extents and
Elton's receipts; the County Commissioners for Suffolk to take
notice, and assist therein.
CASE 92 195 1 Nov. 1644. On information that, the last order notwithstanding,
20
Higden has put some tenants out of their farms, and threatens
the rest, to hinder them from paying their rents to Elton, on
pretence of his previous extent; also on proof that Rob. Marsh
(who was assessed for his and has paid) had a judgment of
600l. against Bacon for a debt of 3007., and has taken out an
extent after Elton is paid, and he and Elton are suing Higden
and Miller in Chancery, on plea that the debt was a pretence to
save Bacon or Miller's estate from sequestration, both being
sequestered delinquents, and an injunction being granted for
quieting Elton in possession of the lands,-order confirming all
previous orders in favour of Elton, and discharging those in
favour of Higden; the rents to be paid to Elton, not to Higden,
and Rob. Marsh to proceed on his judgment when Elton's debt
is satisfied.
Vol. No.

Also, as Higden alleges that John Miller had a right to Bacon's 3 98
lands, by an extent before Elton's statute, which Miller assigned 92 194
to Higden,-order that the tenants pay their rents to Higden,
any former order notwithstanding, the County Commissioners
to take notice thereof; and as Higden alleges that Elton has
received 3177. for the Michaelmas year's rents, both are to
attend the committee thereon 20 May.
3 91
19 July 1644. Higden having falsified the order of the committee, 3 184–6
by inserting words therein after it was signed by the clerk, and
a bill being filed in Chancery to discover whether the debt due
to Higden is real-it being supposed to be a made debt, assigned
by Miller, who was with the King, to free it from sequestration,
the order of 30 April is made void, and Higden is not to
disturb Elton in receipt of the rents.
10 Oct. 1645. The two officers who arrested Nich. Bacon when
attending this committee to be brought in custody to answer

19 May 1648. The business between Elton and Higden referred to 6 3

2 June 1648. Higden's account of debts paid by him for Miller, 92 198
7477., and of moneys due to him by Miller, 7887.; total 1,5357.
July 1648 Statement that Higden confesses receipt of 1,0127. from 92 199
the estate, and that in Chancery he only pleaded payment of one
debt of 4401., therefore the rest probably belongs to the State on
account of Miller's delinquency.
May 1650. Statement by John Base, solicitor to the County Com- 92 200
missioners for Suffolk. The Committee of Goldsmiths' Hall
have ordered me to seize Nich. Bacon's estate for not prose-
cuting his composition, but it is extended to Higden on an
assignment from Miller; the debt was only 600l., and Higden
has received 1,014l. 6s. 2d., and still keeps on his extent. I request
that the case may be examined, and the overplus secured, that
the State be not defrauded.

sequestered in December 1643 by the Commissioners for Seques-
tration of London from Mrs. Anne Parker, his now wife; that
Gibson being in Flanders, where he has turned Roman Catholic,
attached the estate of Mrs. Parker in Flanders for the debt, on
which accouut it has, till lately, been allowed to remain in peti-
tioner's hands. Begs an order to pay in only of the debt, Gibson
having been sequestered for absenting himself and not paying his
assessment, and for recusancy, but not for delinquency.
27 June 1651. The needs of the State being urgent, if the money 24 139

to recover it, the Committee for Advance of Money will report
the case to Parliament.

to reverse the former order for sequestration of Gibson's estate,
as a recusant and delinquent; that the first discoverers of the
debt were the late Commissioners for Sequestration at Camden
House in 1643, but that as Nich. Cheltenham and the late

Assessed at 4007.
[18 Nov. 1643.] He petitions that, being assessed at 1001. by the
County Commissioners last August for his, he shewed that he
had paid 281. on the propositions, which they allowed and accepted
51. for the present. That last November he had a ticket for
4007. from the Haberdashers' Hall assessors. The County Com-
missioners bade him make oath before them as to his 2, which
he said was 45l., and paid 127. to make it up.
He then stated his case to the Haberdashers' Hall Committee,
but was told he must make up his payment to 2007. before he
could be heard. This being impossible, he elapsed the 10 days
for payment. Was then ordered to make oath before the Lord
Mayor and to pay 171. more or be committed; and now Jarvis,
an officer, demands 51., being his salary for the whole 400l., and
10s. for the warrant, which petitioner was obliged to pay. Begs
repayment, having shown his affection to Parliament by a liberal
contribution.

be in discharge of his assessment, it being his proportion.
12 Jan. 1644. County Commissioners for Surrey to the Committee for 93 50
Advance of Money. Statement of Edwards' case as above detailed.
On hearing it, you said he ought not to pay two-twentieths, but
should have his money restored, yet he is denied, on some claim
that he ought to pay an assessment laid on [Thos.] Winder. We
are obstructed by such complaints (which reflect upon us who sit
to advance the service) that people who have been assessed by us
are again assessed at Haberdashers' Hall, and we beg redress.
With notes of reply that it was Edwards' own fault to pay more
in Surrey when he had once cleared; that there had been no
stay of repayment on pretence of Winder; and that if persons
were re-assessed by the Committee for Advance of Money, they
could clear themselves on oath as to their proportion.

CERT. 93 74 7 Dec. 1643. Mrs. Vernon appeals against the assessment, because 93
it is more than he is worth; he was before assessed at 1001. for

his appeal; then he was assessed in the country at 281.; the benefit
of his office is taken away, and they have a great charge of
children and grandchildren, so that if, after all their trouble by
former mistakes, "that little household stuff which we have left
should be taken from us (whereof the beds which above 20 of us
lie upon are the chiefest part), they would bring Parliament
little, and expose us to great misery in this hard time of winter."

13 July 1644. Account by Jas. Hart, jun., of passages relating to
Darcy's assessment for 400l. His ticket was delivered him, but
he pleaded that his land was under sequestration. Finding no
such order, we got a ticket to apprehend him, and as he is non-
resident, we had great difficulties in finding and getting hold of `
him, though I saw him in the Bishop of Winchester's Yard, view-
ing the riding of the great horse, but he had many armed ac-
quaintances with him, and we, being unarmed, could not seize
him. I stayed his rents in his tenants' hands, and had been in-
vited to a venison feast, intending to seize him there, but he did
not come. I went to Surrey and found the sequestration was
taken off his lands, and I got to the house of a tenant where he
was, and stayed all night, but could not get to see him. I said
I would stay a month but I would see him, and then he sent for
me to his room, where he was sighing and groaning over his
debts and engagements. I advised him to come to this com-
mittee, promising him freedom from arrest; he came, and also
took his affidavit before the Lord Mayor as to his estate, but they
enjoined him to pay 301. more than his protestation was for his
lands in Kent.
He said he had paid and lent in money and horses 600l., and
his lady had a statute for 6,000l. for payment of 4001. year, and a
Parliament Order for its payment. His lands in Derbyshire will
not be worth 8001. a year for 5 years, because of raising portions
for his sisters. His yearly revenue is only 5007.; his personalty
consists of his clothes, and horse, which any man may have for
157.; his debts are 1;5001. He offered me his estate for 400l. a
year, but his mother having been kind to me, I would not take
advantage of him. I hope you will grant his discharge.

There have been differences in the parish, which hinder
service, now when religion and laws are at stake, and we should
be united against the common adversary. John Radley has
occasioned much strife by a rate for raising 3 dragoons, which
he has levied very unequally, and he has had warrants issued to
distrain on those who never denied payment, but were only
hoping to be righted. He also suppressed a poor-rate legally
made, and raised one unequally rated, without consent of the
churchwardens and his fellow overseers. There being no
sessions of peace, we present these disorders to you and beg
relief.

the Public Faith if paid within 10 days. I live 60 miles away,
where I pay scott and lott. I cannot attend you without your
leave, being a prisoner, but if you will order this, I will declare
my condition and estate. I am imprisoned on a charge of
treason, and cannot even pay my prison charges, much less so
large a sum, as my tenants pay me no rent, and my credit is
taken away by my unhappy condition. I beg relief, and free-

he was out, but he wrote for a pass, obtained it, attended his
lordship, and having his pass, returned to London. He is old
and in debt, and has a wife and 6 children. His estate lying

not apply to me, as I had surrendered 16 months before.
Pray cast your eye on the articles for the surrender of Oxford.

Arguments in favour of a reasonable composition. The

estate; and in May 1647, when I went, by leave of the House of
Peers, to Bath to recover my health, the County Commissioners
of Wilts sequestered my estate, and sold stable and goods for
8001. I beg a day for hearing, no report having been made to
Parliament in 3 years, and many things material having occurred.

acknowledging his delinquency and wish to compound, bringing

horses value 150%. I surrendered 14 June 1644, when the King
had great armies and strong garrisons, and on 20 June 1644,
was committed to the Tower. On 10 Jan. 1645, desiring to
obtain my liberty and practice for a maintenance, I cast myself
on the favour of Parliament, and submitted to a fine of 4,000l.,
and had then been in prison 7 months, and I so continued 2 years
and 2 months after, during 6 of which I was greviously sick,
finding the Tower a place of great charge and much restraint.
On 14 May 1645, when the rumour of my submission came to
Wiltshire, a party of the King's forces burned my dwelling-
house at Broad Hinton, worth 8,0001.

rectory was settled on the ministers, it was ordered that 501.
should be paid to Tavistock, which was done, but Walter
Godbeare, clothier, and Wm. Grills, merchant, the surviving
trustees, and John Pointer, the tenant, keep the profits, and are
insolvent; out of 4 harvests, petitioner has only received 50%.,
so that many thousands of poor ignorant people are like to be
without a minister. Begs redress of this abuse.

beare and Grills to account for the profits of the rectory,
and pay the arrears, or show cause to the contrary, and to
examine Pointer as to what he has paid to the trustees, and how
he holds the premises, and to take other examinations to

Stert of Curriton, and in 1649-51 by Grills and Godbeare, so that
the State is defrauded, and petitioner has only had 501. instead of

it is to contemn your power," and that he may have his rights.

2 April 1647. Weld and Storer, petition jointly the Committee for 95 159
Advance of Money. The sequestration of Giles's Cripplegate
depends on you for Dr. Fuller's non-payment of his, and you
(on advice of the Committee for Plundered Ministers) have
appointed us to officiate at 1207. a year, arising from the dues.
But by the malignancy of some, the errors of others, and the
poverty of the rest, we are 3001. short of our allowance; though
on our petition for relief, divers of the parish who have not paid
have been summoned, this course has proved ineffectual, through
their not appearing, and the committee's not sitting or having
important business. We beg redress.

21 June 1650. The debt of 2,2001. (sic) due by Powell to the late Sir 8 391
Ralph Dutton, being claimed by his brother John Dutton, the
case is to be heard on 10 July, and Dutton and John Poole, his
solicitor, to attend, and bring the deeds and writings relating to
the debt.

28 June. Powell complains that, Sir Ralph Dutton being dead, his 95 186
brother John lays claim to the money, and enjoys the profits of
the land till it is paid. He being absent two terms, to obtain
a hearing in the case, John Poole, Dutton's solicitor, and 2 or
3 other malignants, obtruded another minister into his living,
that he might not have means to prosecute the case. Begs dis-
missal, or a speedy hearing, or a summons to Dutton and Poole
to attend and make their defence.
11 Aug. 1650. Order on hearing the report that that part of the
Standish Manor and other lands belonging to Sir R. Dutton,
extended by Sir Gerard Fleetwood, be sequestered by the
County Commissioners, and that Fleetwood account therefor.
Also that Sir Ralph's heir and Fleetwood prove their respective
interests in the premises, and then orders will be given for a
composition.
13 July 1650. Powell begs speedy hearing. Owing to the delays 95 187
of John Poole, the cause, which was second in order of hearing,
now stands 20th, and thus these delinquents try to weary
him out.
15 Sept. 1650. Order for an account with the auditor of Fleetwood's
receipts, to which Powell may make exceptions, and Fleetwood
is to depose before the County Commissioners that the statute
entered into by Sir Ralph is real, and without fraud, and has
not been released by him.
19 July. Poole petitions that Mr. Dutton lives 60 miles off, and is 95 188
debarred by the late Act from coming to London, and that the
writings are in petitioner's custody, 80 miles away; there have
been tedious suits of law in the case, so that longer time will be
required. He begs time, reference of the case to a few persons
to state it for a hearing, and the sparing of Dutton from personal
attendance.

Dutton.

relinquishing his interest in all other estate of Sir Ralph Dutton's,
that Powell be dismissed attendance about the debt.

COMMITTEE FOR ADVANCE OF MONEY.-CASES.

19 June 1647. County Commissioners of Salop to the Committee
for Advance of Money.-Being ordered to raise money on the
propositions, we assessed Leveson, who paid part of the money,
and gave security for the rest, and now we hear he is summoned
to London, to be again assessed, and to pay there the money due
to us. We have lately had an order for payment of soldiers,
and have paid 3 regiments going to Ireland, so that our
payments grow greater, and our receipts less; we therefore beg
we may receive the moneys assessed on Leveson and others in
this county.
28 July 1644.
20 July 1647. Committee for Advance of Money to the County 5 280
Commissioners of Salop.-We desire your reimbursement, but 95 198
you must not proceed against Leveson, because he has been
assessed as one of the M.Ps., who, in 1643, deserted the House.
Also all who compounded at Goldsmiths' Hall, are to compound
with the Committee for Advance of Money for their . You
are to restore the goods taken from him by distraint, or their
value, and proceed no further thereon.

gentleman pay twice the same duty, and if you proceed further,
you will be reported to Parliament.
23 Nov. Leveson summoned to pay his assessment -
26 Nov. Committee for Advance of Money to the County Com-
missioners of Salop. You ought not to compel one who has

you have taken, and forbear further prosecution.

Papist. Begs order for seizure of the following particulars :

troop at the siege of Gloucester, he was discharged; that a deed
between him and Perkins, to deceive the State, was proved to
be fraudulent; that his witnesses, Fras. Smith and John Col-
combe, were his servants, and contradicted themselves in their

dam, was taken by Col. Massey and hanged.

The urgent want of money causes us to remind you of your 96 162

during her life, and then for the children, and it was put out to
interest to Sir J. Danvers. When Grey compounded on Oxford

returned as the concealed estate of Angel Grey, and part of it is
paid into the treasury, and the rest to be paid, to petitioners'
utter undoing.

29 Aug. 1648. Committee for Advance of Money to the County 97
Commissioners of Somerset. We sent you down 4 months ago
the Ordinance about Lady Drake, but there have been such
obstructions raised to proceedings on the orders about Lord
Paulet's estates that, though in 4 months the rents are nearly
2,000l., besides the demesnes of Hinton, allotted to his lady for
her, yet only 600l. has been collected, though the parties have
used all diligence. The rents of Petherton rectory, though
ordered to be kept in the tenants' hands, have been received by
you, and converted to other uses. You are to call before you
the tenants who detain the greater sums, and order the restoring
of such as have been diverted to other uses. With note of like
letter, mutatis mutandis, to co. Devon, making the rents 6007.
instead of 2,000l., and the receipts 150l. instead of 6001.

refusals of the tenants, some of whom say they have paid their
rents to Lord Faulet or others, some to the County Commis-
sioners, some to Lady Paulet for her, being much more than
it amounted to, and others refuse with threats to pay at all. He
begs a summons against 6 tenants named, but if all their rents
were paid, the sum would still be 4007. short of the 1,5007.

a grant for the custom of four ships, viz., the Elizabeth, David,
Reformation, and another, which being found rotten, was taken
to pieces. The Elizabeth, 160 tons, laden with 556 hogsheads of
tobacco, paid in custom 800l., the David 190 tons, with 417 hogs-
heads of tobacco, 600l. The Reformation was lost in Ireland,
coming homewards from the West Indies, but was compounded
for. Baltimore compounded with the above owners for the
customs, and received the money by virtue of the Great Seal.
It is conceived the King was not then in a condition to bestow
so great a gift, and it is doubted whether the Seal so produced
was the King's Great Seal; and if it were, whether it were not
procured upon promise of bringing some of the Parliament ships
to the King.

Wingfield, of Reston, co. Hunts, 1,300l. and in 16 Car. sued him
to an outlawry for non-payment. That Leigh was in arms against
Parliament, his estate was sequestered, and he is now dead. A
fine is pleaded in the Exchequer and a deed in 10 Charles,
vesting Wingfield's estate in trustees, but the deed is supposed
to be fraudulent, and made to deceive the creditors who had
judgments on the estate, as Wingfield let and sold land without
consent of the trustees.

that Mrs. Leigh holds lands and leases of houses in the Strand

Fras. Wayte, and left it to his 2 brothers, who have held it till
lately disturbed by Hobson, who had a Parliament Order to raise
money from Leigh's estate. Hobson found that the Waytes
entered into a recognizance to pay Mintern 2,0007. on behalf
of Leigh, long before this manor was purchased, yet he tries to
raise 1,000l. on this estate. Begs that Mintern and Leigh's
executors may recover the sum in law, dormant securities and
matters of trust against purchasers being only examinable in
Chancery.

19 Dec. 1651. Mrs. Eliz. Leigh to bring in her deed of jointure, 11

28 Dec. Order that the debt owing on the recognizance is not
pardoned by the Act of Pardon, there being a judgment in Oct.
1651, before that Act; that it was in trust for Leigh, and that
1,000l. was his own money, and forfeit for his delinquency.
But as there is no proof that the Waytes bought the bond, and
as the recognizance was to be vacated on entering into a new
one to Mr. Dudley, which was done, and 500l. paid him thereon,
to the end that Hobson may have such remedy as Leigh's
executors ought to have had for recovery of the debt,-order
that the County Commissioners for Leicester secure in the
tenants' hands the rents of Keythorpe Manor, and that Rob.
Wilson prefer his bill in Chancery, to ascertain why the Waytes
entered into the recognizance to Minton, and what agreement was
made for cancelling it, and entering into one to Dudley. If any
Chancery injunction be had, the seizure will be taken off such part
of Keythorpe rents as shall be obtained by order in Chancery.
But the debt on this recognizance is not to take precedence of
any other recognizance, or judgment of older date.
23 Dec. 1653. Order that on the Wilsons paying Hobson 208., the 13
hearing of the report be delayed till Wednesday.

and the county forces being in arrear, and the soldiers furious

31 Oct. 1649. Petition of Sir Gab. Vernatt, and Mark Valkenburgh, 99
for the owners of Hatfield Chace Level. The late King granted
large quantities of the drained land in Hatfield Chace to Sir C.
Vermuyden, reserving a rent of 1,228. 17s. Od. to be paid in
proportions by him and those who purchased from him. Vernatt
was to pay 181. 15s. Od. for his land in Yorkshire, and the same
for his land in Lincoln and Notts; Valkenburgh, 42l. 15s. Od.
for Yorkshire, and 181. 17s. Od. for the rest; and Vermuyden
was to pay 2001. 1s. 8d. for Yorkshire, and 4871. 3s. 1d. for the
rest, and his interest is now joined to John Gibbon's.
In 13 Car., these rents were granted to the Duke of Buckingham,
and paid to him many years; since the sequestration, they have
been paid to the respective county commissioners. Gibbon being
7,000%. in arrear for his proportion, charged petitioners therewith,
and got 2 officers to levy moneys on them by his directions,
drove away Vernatt's cattle, sold 8 of his horses, 2 of them
worth 507., for 247., levied money on the tenants, and drives all
before him, by which means he hopes to free himself of the
7,000l. and gain 10,000l. Beg a stay to his unjust proceedings.

petitioner's share was stated at 1507., but abated to 100%., 50%. to

mas, Mr. Gibbon came with 2 officers and the committee's
orders to receive the rents of the level. He informed them of
his agreement with the York Commissioners, but offered to pay
them his proportion for his lands in co. Lincoln, and they
were content and promised not to proceed. Yet under Gib-
bon's direction, the officers seized his horses and beasts, valued
at 3007., sold for 441., 10 horses worth 150l., forced from his

rent of 1,2001. from Hatfield Chace, for 10 years, for which the
committee agreed to accept 2,000l. for all arrears to 3 Aug.
last (1649), considering his claims for defalcations, because he
could not enjoy the proportions which the late King sold, as
16,800l. was paid into the Exchequer for a fine. He begs leave
to make an agreement for the present year in like proportion.
14 Dec. 1649. Order on debate touching the discovery of the
premises said to be made by Col. Venn, that it is not a dis-
covery, as the Committee of co. York had sequestered what
lay in their jurisdiction; also, that the differences between the
tenants as to their proportion of payment be referred to Sir
Wm. Allinson and 4 others. Also, that for the arrears in cos.

24 May 1650. Petition of Capt. Wm. Farrer, for himself, Mark 99
Valkenburgh, and other owners of land in the Chace. The
level was to be drained by Vermuyden, he, the King, and the com-
moners having each one-third; the King's third was conveyed
to Vermuyden, as well as his own third, on rent of 1,2281. He
sold part to Dutch gentlemen, part to Mr. Gibbon and others.
Gibbon was to pay 6541. a year, and was much in arrears, but
by untrue information, got defalcations, and was only to pay
2,000l. in lieu of 7,000l. due. Instead of paying this himself,
he levied 6971. from persons who were to pay little or no rent,
and got bonds for 4907. 15s. more. Beg restoration of the money
and bonds. With account of the proportions of the fee-farm
rent of 4851. granted to the Duke of Buckingham which are
to be paid by John Gibbon and 8 other tenants, according to
a calculation made 12 July 1637.
24 May. Order thereon that the committee cannot give relief, but
leave the petitioners to their remedy at law. Also order for
Gibbon to pay in the remainder of the moneys.
31 May. Order confirming former orders, Gibbon to report what
moneys have been received from the county commissioners in
part of arrears, before the order of 3 Aug. last.
21 June 1650. Order that as John Gibbon was ordered to pay in
6977. 1s. Od., part of 2,000l., accepted from him for the arrears
at Hatfield Chace, and has only paid 300l., and the balance was
ordered to be levied on his estate, it be so levied by sequestra-
tion, sale of his goods, cattle, &c., and seizure of his rents.
5 July 1650. Order on a Parliament Order of 3 July for pay-
ment of 6971. 1s. Od., received from Gibbon as arrears of rent
for Hatfield Chace, to Margaret, widow of Col. Venn, by whose
prosecution it was discovered.
5 July. Note of request of divers tenants of the level that the
former orders may stand in force.
10 July. Gibbon to have time to prove the sums levied by the
York Committee, &c.
24 July. Counsel for the Commonwealth to report on the rent due,
and the defalcations to be allowed.
28 June. Order that the officers of the Committee for Advance of 9 9
Money and George Wood levy the sums due from those who
stand engaged for 4901. 15s. Od., in part of the arrears for Hatfield
Level, unless Mr. Gibbon show cause to the contrary; as there
has been but 6971. 1s. Od. of the 2,000l. paid, and bonds given in
for 4901. 15s. Od., Gibbon is to pay the balance by Friday next.
23 Aug. 1650. Gibbon begs further time, because when the order

besides the 28. in the pound fees; and on reading Wood and
Beverley's accounts of their receipts, and their orders for levy-

Epworth, Belton, Haxey, Crowle, Snaith, Cowick, Rocliffe,
Misterton, and Gringley, and 2811. from Missen, as appears by
Wood and Beverley's answers to former petitions. Of the
1,1577. 2s. 6d. due from these manors, their portion is 6001. if
they ought to pay it (which they think they ought not, having
lately had an Exchequer verdict against the late King's patent-
ees), yet Wood and Beverley have levied in Epworth alone
1,1117. 1s. Od., being 500l. more than their due. They have also
levied 2401. for the last year. Beg that no more may be

there being divers rooms in his house in Long Acre, she lodged
there during her husband's absence in the country, and placed
there the evidences, accounts, &c., of estate, with husband's
goods, linen, and apparel, beside 101. cash and 5 silver spoons
which Capt. Greyson took from her. She, with others in the
house was taken before the Committee for Examinations, com-
mitted to a messenger, and referred, by order of 7 July instant,
to this committee. Is ignorant of any offence, and her poor
husband greatly suffers by her absence. Has lent and paid freely
from his estate on the propositions of Parliament. Begs that the
captain may restore the money and spoons, and the rest of the
goods and writings, and she may be set free.

recusant, but not a delinquent, and that all the writings belong-
ing to his estate, and that of her husband, who is a lunatic,

disposed of to the daughter of Mr. Baylie, a recusant, and Emery
never had 200l. with her, though promised 1,000l. Becoming a
lunatic, his tuition was granted to John Apsley, of Gray's Inn,
on bond with Sir John Shelley, to preserve the estate, but he
much neglected it, on which petitioner got the tuition trans-
ferred to himself. Baylie, having sold lands of value in
cos. Lincoln and Herts, died last August, and part of his
personalty should have come to his daughter, Emery's wife,
but Capt. Greyson had, a little before, taken away all the
writings, and brought them to this committee, where they
remain.
Begs the evidences concerning the lunatic, Mr. Baylie, and Sir
John Shelley's estate, which he has separated from other writings
found in the house, and so much of Baylie's estate as belongs to
his daughter, and will then further the State as to what is due
to them for Baylie's recusancy. Begs the immediate restoration
of the goods, deeds, &c., or leave to recover them by law, as the
tenants detain their rents, and the sea walls and houses decay
for want thereof.
