February 1647



Feb. 1. Shipley, near Barnard Castle.	436. Jo. Reyne to Nicholas Spackman, at Auditor Searle's office, Charing Cross. We are busy in these parts in preserving our houses, horses, and goods, on the Scots' marching. Your audit servant, Robert Toll, died 29th December last, very comfortably. He will be much missed, for I am sure we shall never have the like of him in his place. We hear that Newcastle was delivered by the Scots last Saturday; they are now all marched out of this county of Durham. Endorsed with request that Cousin Dale will give this letter to Christopher Hodgson, who will deliver it. [1 p.]
Feb. 12.	Indenture between Richard Deacon, citizen and clothworker of London, on the one part, and Humphrey Newton of Caldwell, co. Bedford, and John Newton of Bedford on the other part, that whereas the said Humphrey and John Newton stand bound before Sir Thomas Soame, Mayor of the Staple, and John Glynn, Recorder of London, in 200l., yet on performance of the conditions of certain deeds the bond shall be void. [Parchment. Car. I., Case F., No. 24.]
Feb. 26. Montgomery Castle.	437. Committee of Accounts, co. Montgomery, to the Committee for Accounts of the Kingdom. Lloyd Pierce having refused to perfect his accounts last November, we issued a warrant for his apprehension, but he sheltered himself at Redcastle, where he contrived much malicious practice against some of our members. Afterwards, attending you about his accounts, exceptions were taken by our chairman, when he departed without your consent, and got back to his place of refuge again. Our messenger apprehended him in Shropshire, and brought him to Montgomery, where we conceive he ought to stay until he has satisfied his contempt. We beg you no longer to indulge him in so much liberty of appeal, as if he were unjustly dealt with by us. Signed by Mat. Morgan, Edward Owen, Sam. Biggs, R. Griffith, and Robert Royle. [¾ p.]
