47. Petition of Nathaniel Wheatley, Mayor of Banbury, co.
Oxon, to the Council. The constables of the town, John Yates,
Thomas Robins, and Thomas Pym, having refused to distrain for
ship money, petitioner has done so in his own person, sending some
part of the money so obtained to the sheriff, and having goods in
his custody for the residue. Being threatened by divers of the
inhabitants whose goods have been so distrained that when the
year of his mayoralty is over they will sue him in the Town
Court, he prays protection from the said suits, and warrant to sell
the goods. [¾ p. The order on this petition is calendared on
above date.] |

48. Petition of Richard Adams and Hercules Coomer, High
Constables of the hundred of Winterstoke, co. Somerset, to the
Council. Being bound to appear before their Lordships on the
first Sunday in this month, and through ignorance failing to do
so, they were sent for by a messenger, in whose custody they now
are. They have paid 288l. of the 370l. ship money charged to
them, and, promising to do their uttermost to collect the rest, they
beg discharge. [1 p. They were discharged on above date. See
Vol. CCCLXVIII., No. 36.] |
| [Sept. 26?] |
49. Petition of the same to the same. Petitioners being this
year appointed for the collection of ship money in their hundred,
found, in the assessment delivered to them, divers persons who
neither reside in the hundred nor in the county. Some are
assessed for chief rents, or for lands held for a term of years or
for lives, and other have annuities, but no personal estate, as
appears by the list annexed; so that no distress can be found to
levy the moneys, and the tenants occupying the land being unassessed, petitioners have no power to distrain their goods. Pray
an order for levying the money. [1 p. See Vol. CCCLXVIII.,
No. 44.] Annexed, |

49. i. List of persons assessed in the hundred of Winterstoke, co. Somerset, who have lands there but no goods
