April 1643

April 10. 133. Order of the Committee for Irish Affairs. Whereas a ship is partly laden with clothes and provisions for Carrickfergus, the Treasurers appointed on the Ordinance of 30th January last for a new loan towards the relief of Ireland are ordered to pay Nicholas Loftus, Deputy Treasurer-at-War for that kingdom, the sum of 1,000l., to be by him paid to John Davies, commissary, to be laid out in victuals for Carrickfergus. Signed by Jo. Goodwyn. [Seal with arms. ½ p.] Overleaf.—Receipt by John Davies for the money, dated 10 April 1643.
April 13. 134. Commission by the Committee of Lords and Commons appointed by Parliament for sequestering certain kinds of notorious delinquents and Papists to Walter Blyth to be their solicitor and agent in Warwickshire and Coventry, giving them an account of his proceedings. Nine signatures. [Copy. 1 p.]
April 15. 135. I[sabel] W[arner] to her brother G[eorge] W[arner]. I am glad to hear of your recovery and pray for your safety. I heartily wish you were with our cousin, Thomas Green, or could as safely go to him as when I first advised you to it. I could not satisfy your expectations last week, for I was then amongst the mountains, where I left the old man and our brother in good health and safety, but begin to fear that shall not continue long. Our friend W. is a captain and was very well three days ago, but where he is is uncertain, neither can I tell you where Sir Thomas is. Some think he is at Shrewsbury. Our country gentlemen are not fixed but moveable; to acquaint you with our condition is too tedious to relate, and I refer you to my cousin Richard Broughton, who visited us on his way to Coventry. More we have suffered since, but what they intend we shall, is beyond my capacity; they have such strange inventions of cruelty. Pray let us hear what becomes of the treaty, and send some better news if you can. [1 p.]
April 15. 136. Receipt for 100l. sent by Parliament to be distributed amongst the poor prisoners at Oxford. Signed by Valentine Walton, John Georges, E. Wyngate, and John Francklyn. [½ p.]
April 17. 137. Order in the House of Commons. Whereas on 12th April [Lionel] Playter was enjoined to make no more farthing tokens, and the Haberdashers' Hall Committee was appointed to take course that James East should cause all farthing tokens and the tools, &c., for making them to be seized, which has been done, it is now ordered that East proceed in the making of farthings, giving an account to the Haberdashers' Hall Committee of the weekly profits. [¾ p. Copy. Printed in Commons' Journals III., p. 48.]
April 21. 138. Order in the House of Commons that [Lionel] Playter, formerly intrusted with the making of farthings, bring to the Haberdashers' Hall Committee his accounts, and that [William ?] Harrington and Peter Hazard, merchant of London, be added to [James] East, as overseers of the accounts of the farthing token office. [¾ p. Copy. See Playter's case before the Committee for Advance of Money, in Calendar of that Committee, Vol. I., p. 124. Printed in Commons' Journals III., p. 55.]
