Being off the coast of France, he affronted the Frenchmen, who clapped him into prison, and the men returned in the ship to Falmouth, then in the King's power, and though Lutton owned no part of her, his wife sold her to Mr. Jones, one of the King's customs' officers. In Feb. 1645, she paid 2001. of the money to Wm. Crossing, clothier, of Iplepen, on bills of exchange, which are in the hands of Emanuel Lutton, her husband's father. In Jan. 1646, Crossing sent wares to Loudon, and sold them to Thos. Culling, of London, for 2201., whereon the debt was sequestered in his hands.

She petitions the House of Lords. — Pleads that in these 105 63 distracted times she has paid all Parliament taxes, though she has lost 15,000Z. by the burning of her goods at Campden House, and other ways, and she never contributed to the King's party. By constant free quarter, her tenants in co. EuLland have left their lands, so that they lie waste, and those in co. Gloucester are under command of the King's forces, and pay nothing, nor those in CO. Lincoln. Her house in Maidenhead Lane, London, worth 180Z. a year, has been employed by Parliament for the Commis- sioners of Sequestration since Api il 1642, and she has not bad a penny rent; 54 -valuable horses, 28 oxen, 128 sheep, and the wool of 400 more, have been seized by Parliament, and the orders of the House of Lords for their restoration not obeyed. She has paid 800Z. in co. Rutland, and lOQl. in co. Lincoln, for her ^. But though she is a peeress of the realm, and lives in co. Rut- land, 70 miles from London, she has had a ticket to paj 4,0001. assessment, though her husband left her 1,000Z. in debt, and she can neither pay principal nor interest. Thos. Noel stated her case to the Committee for Advance of Money, but they ordered her to pay 1,200Z. more than the 800Z., which she cannot do. Being very aged, she cannot attend at Haberdashers' Hall. Instead of a new charge, she begs payment for goods seized, and requital for losses by the King's party, because she would not assist them. 31 July.

In July 1644, the House, forgetting this order, made Mr. Oldsworth registrar, but when they knew my precedent claims, they referred the case to a committee, , which has not yet reported.

Thorne, to send busi- ness to Oxford when it was a garrison for the King, and wrote several letters, and provided messengers to go to and from Ox- ford and London for dispatch of office business, and sent several sums of money for the garrison there. He submitted to the jurisdiction of the said court, as it was then set up in Oxford by the late King, under Dr. Merrick, the judge thereof, and gave order to his man to send money to Oxford for the office, which was paid to Jo. Ashburnham, the King's receiver, for the use of the soldiers there ; and when Mr. Abbot's delinquency was in question, he contributed money towards assisting him. 18 Dec.

I can disprove Wildman's statements if I may be allowed to put in exceptions. I can also prove that Abbot was sequestered in 1643 by the Camden House Committee for con- cealing his goods and non-payment of assessments ; and that on report that records were likely to be embezzled and removed to Oxford, the office was again sequestered, and entrusted to [Hen.] Liuch by Order of Parliament.

John Bradshaw, on behalf of the Commissioners for Breach 106 107 of Articles, summons the Committee for Advance of Money to show cause why they have assessed the petitioner, as the Lord- G-eneral considers that the 12th article of Exeter belongs to those that surrendered at Truro, and that therefore Lord Mohun ought to be exempted, unless cause be shown to the contrary. March 1650 ? Committee for Advance of Money to the Committee 24 09 for Complaints on Articles of War. We have received yours of 27 Feb. last, but are confident that Lord Mohun ought to be taxed. He was assessed 27 March 1646, and appeared 26 Aug. 1646, alleging that the House intended favour to the Cornish gentlemen, whereupon he was respited. Last Novem- ber, we had notice that the House had confirmed the articles of Truro, and that no person therein comprised was exempted from his -^i whereon we summoned him, and he appeared 14Nov. 1649, and alleged that he was exempted by those articles, but a copy of them being found at Goldsmiths' Hall and read, there was no exemption of assessment. Nor is it reasonable that Truro articles should relate to Exeter articles, made six weeks later. My lord produced a reference to the Committee for Com- plaints, and some opinions of the army officers, and a certifi- cate from the General, but we are bound by acts and ordinances, and cannot admit verbal articles. Let him prove that he is included in the 12th of Exeter articles. COMMITTEE FOR ADVANCE OF MONEY.— CASES* 693 71 22 6 336 71 63 7 36 Vol. No. 27 March 1646. A or p.

Owen [to the Committee for 115 70 Advance of Money]. I owed 1,200Z. to Hum. Mackworth, as trustee for tbe children of Eich. Lister, and my estate of West- bury [co. Salop] is in mortgage for it. 500/. of this 1,200Z. is due to John Lister, one of the sons, who is a delinquent, and was in arms with Prince Eupert, and I was ordered by the county commissioners not to pay it him. I owe 500Z. to Erskine, on statute by myself and son 3 years ago, and this the county commissioners have also ordered me to keep in my hands. They afterwards examined me, and seized the money for the State. I beg to be freed from them, and will obey the orders of this committee if I may be saved harmless, being under sequestration. II Feb. Order that he have a month to pay in 250Z. J of 5001. 5 366 discovered by Edw. Cole to be owing to John Lister, delinquent, and then the committee will give order about the other i, and also about 500Z. more which he owes to Dr. Wm, Erskine, delinquent. 8 March 1648.

I beg you to stand my friend. 19 April. Sir William petitions to be allowed J the said debt to 115 72 Lister, having discovered it himself, and convenient time for -74 payment of the other i, being unprovided of money by reason of his composition. Begs on his payment a discharge from Mack- worth, who has a mortgage for 1,200Z. on his Westbury estate, but the land is only worth 11 OZ. a year, and taxes deducted, will bring little to the State. 19 April. The clerk to examine and report who first discovered the 5 425 debt due by Owen to Lister, and Owen to produce the counter- part of the mortgage, when this committee will give further order. April ?

Condover. Sir Wm. Owen to Dallison. I hear you 115 76 are not satisfied with my deed. I owe Lister nothing. Mr. Browne, solicitor to Parliament, says' that 1,200Z. was levied by Lister's father on the lands in Westbury, worth lOOZ. a year, charged with it, of which 500L was paid to John Lister, and it would be most injurious to cause my tenants to pay my rents out of lands not charged. Hum. Mackworth, governor of Shrewsbury, will affirm what I say. 27 May. Col. Hum. Mackworth to Dallison. Owen owes Lister 116 77 nothing. Some of his land was mortgaged to me, as feoffee of old Mr. Lister's children, but no moneys are raised from the estate, or paid to Lister. The county commissioners here have given an order for seizing John Lister's portion when raised, he being a delinquent. If the estate is to be disposed of, I trust I may have it towards my arrears. 29 May. Cole to Dallison. Sir W.

I will send lOOZ. to London next term, and give bond for the rest, which I hope will only be 200Z. at most. John Lister's business is a mistake. 16 Sept. 1648. Sir Wm. Owen to Cole. As to Eich. Lister's debt 115 80 of 500Z., I borrowed 1,200Z. of his father, and the assurance of Westbury Manor was conveyed to Hum. Mackworth, for the money, but Mackworth says John Lister shall have no part of the money, nor will he release it to me, but I think good may be done about Dr. Erskine's 500L The Shrewsbury Com- mittee called on me to pay it, but I refused. I was the first to discover the debt. If I may have a full discharge, I will compound with you, and pay ZOOl. 8 Oct. Shrewsbury. Thos. Hamersley to Bdw. Cole.

I fled when the Cavaliers entered, and by my mother's instigation, my house was lamentably plundered, my horse taken, and one of my servants and I accused of treason for pursuing Lord Digby and Sir Marmadnke Langdale's men, when they passed through the country. My mother entertained the Cavaliers at dinner all the time they stayed, and suffered not a penny loss. Pray forward my petition to the House for my uncle's estate. I served the order on my mother, as I wrote you long ago, but ' I am confident she will not appear to show cause. I live near a mother who plots my destruction, for no man's house in Furness was so abased as mine, and that by her procurement, and she has taken my meadows, so that I have no means of subsisting.

I discoTered the 1001. for yonr use, and you ought to have it as the discoverer, as it is redeemable on payment, and it was not Preston's money, but his lands that were granted to Pym's children. They challenge also 1201. which Tomlinson discovered of Preston's money, and which you ought to have as you dis- covered it before, jarvis should be sent down to seize for your use Marsh Grange and Nich. Gardiner's estate, and my mother's estate for the 1501. ; and Capt. Eipon, Governor of Lancaster Castle, should help him with troops ; also, a warrant should be sent to deliver up Rob.

Pray discover his estate, and I will find you proofs to sequester him. Ask Capt. Ripon to send me soldiers, for Kirby's lease is out on 12 Feb., and I want to enter into possession before Askew can take it.

Till all have paid the first J, the second J cannot be fairly demanded of any, as the assessment is 8,500J. more than the real debt due to the State. Mr. Beverley, formerly employed, might give them all notice. All the bonds, or releases of the sums which are in Cox's hands should be brought to this committee, and also Major Norton's, which the Clerk of the Revenue has noted in Mr. Dodsworth'a case. Endorsed with note [by Fras.

Committee for Advance of Money to Fras. Nevile. Many 24 163 of the Yorkshire gentlemen deny their subscription to the Yorkshire Engagement, and we are put to the proof. The county commissioners are therefore to take examinations in the case ; and unless all the subscriptions are proved, a higher sum will have to be levied on the others. Those who hold back will have higher proportions for their delay. 15 Sept. Notes of Nevile's reply to the above letter. He drew 119 25 up instructions and sent examinations taken thereon at York. He finds that Stookdale, who knows almost all those to whom bonds were given, will justify the subscriptions of many, if not of all. The copy of the Yorkshire Engagement sent in being attested to be true, why should not those who are living and deny their bonds be put to their oaths, and the heirs and executors of those dead be put to proof as to who signed the names. All should pay 4 before being admitted to plead. The debt men- tioned in the list of bonds annexed to the order of 24 May is 19,000Z., of which one bond for 5,80OZ. was to Wm. Lowther, in trust to be paid for arms never supplied, so there is nothing due on that bond, whereby the debt is reduced to less than 15,000?.

As to the Yorkshire 24 176 Engagement, we find from Mr. Nevile that the original Magna Charta is lost, which the commissioners much wonder at, and desire you to make enquiries from those in whose hands you have reason to believe it is concealed. There being copies of it, the original must be found by following it from hand to hand of those in whose custody it has been. Advise with the county commissioners therein. Many, as Lady Osborne and others plead that they have nO' assets; they are delayed till next term, when Mr. Nevile, and such other gentlemen as have acknowledged their sub- scriptions and paid their proportions, or are liable to pay, will appear, and put in exceptions to these pleas.

The State should be satisfied, and we, who are willing to pay our proportions, should be cleared. But we are troubled that the bonds are not brought up, and that all the persons assessed are not compelled to pay their first i as some have done. It should be paid from the estates of those sequestered, or we should be eased of their proportions. There should be some plan for mitigation, as the whole debt is only about 14,000?., and the House wishes it reduced to 10,OOOZ., and promises to excuse me my part. But I have suffered more than any man, and the whole trouble lies on me. S March 1652. Edw. Stockdale petitions. The Yorkshire Engage- 119 46 ment was signed in my sight by most of the gentlemen ; and though they deny this, I can prove it, and also distinguish who signed voluntarily, and who were compelled to sign, so that the latter may be acquitted. I beg to be employed to call all that are liable to pay, and to receive for services which no other could do what Jos. Beverley has, and also a warrant to bring in the bonds of all the parties that lent money for that service, either as a deputy serjeant-at-arms, or otherwise. 3 March.

Wentworth, Fras. 119 61 Nevile, Hen. Ingleby, and other subscribers to the Yorkshire Engagement, to the Protector. They and others, being about 100, signed the Engagement, on which sums amounting to 19,400Z. were borrowed. In June 1649, Parliament authorised the Com- mittee for Advance of Money to compound therefor, and in May 1650, an assessment for 26,000Z. was ordered, and i ordered to be paid. Petitioners and others, 50 in all, have paid the same, but some recusants whose estates were declared forfeit, and others who had compounded, offered pleas, while some pleaded the Act of Pardon. Some refused to part with their bonds, and others said they had been forced to part with their money. Much pains were taken to settle all interests justly, but the late committee's powers ended 31 Jan. last, and the present committee think they have no power in the case ; so all things are at a stand, and neither is the debt due to the State paid, nor are those who have paid J discharged from their bonds, nor the pleas determined, nor the creditors relieved. Beg that the present committee may have the same powers in the case as the late committee, and that the gubscribers, paying in their shares, may have discharge and indemnity.

N 2 COMMITTEE POE ADVAJSTCE QE MONET.— OASES. Vol. No. 18 Aug. 1648. A or p. 30 Nov. 1648. Statement by Bob. Eenwiok. Having l.OOOZ. from 123 22 discoveries granted me by Parliament,! discovered Callow, and desired the clerk to charge on his estate 1,0002. for myself, and 500Z. for Col. Eoger Eenwiok, in Ireland ; but as he did not make an assignment to me to enable me to prosecute, I entertained Capt. Wm. Parsons and the Earl of Kildare into my discovery, for 1,0002., after I was satisfied ; but I expected a larger inventory of the estate, and contributions from them towards the charge of prosecution. Finding that Callow had many friends to pro- tect him against the justice of Parliament, and.that the business would be chargeable and troublesome, I wrote to decline having them joined with me, the rather that wlien incident charges are paid, and the ^ granted to Callow's wife and children, I do not think the estate will reach more than the 1,OOOZ. due to me. I therefore disclaim having any others joined with me, and I beg to discover those who persuaded Callow to take up arms against Parliament, or who have protected him and his estate. NOTE 123 24 4 Deo. 1648. Statement by Fenwiok. I entered my disclaimer of 21 136 others joining in my discovery with reference to the inventory 123 23 of Callow's goods brought in ; biit now I find that most of his estate was not inventoried, because the county commissioners sent a marshal and soldiers with a warrant to apprehend this committee's officers, and bring them in custody. By this, and the disafiection of the people in those parts, none of Callow's goods could be secured unless he were willing. He sold goods of great value after discovery of his delinquency, and since the inventory was taken, has conveyed away most of the goods not inventoried, which were the greater part of his estate. I beg a commission for the speedy appraising and sale of all belong- ing to him, whether inventoried or not; and if the goods in the inventory be embezzled, or fall short of my claim, I beg that » the rest may be made up from those not in the inventory. Also I beg satisfaction of the 600L due by Parliament Order of 6 March 1648, to Col. Roger Fenwick. The overplus to go to the State. 15 Dec. The county commissioners to send up a copy of the in- ventory of Callow's estate, on which they compounded with him, and all proceedings to be stayed meantime. LET. 123 25 4 Jan. 1649.
