94. County Commissioners for Macclesfield Hundred to Hen. Cockson. We send you a schedule of our delinquents and malignants, noling those who have got their pardons, or compounded for their whole estate. Those marked (a) have compounded for personalty only, and must compound for their real estates, if Parliament so appoint. Those who have compounded at Goldsmiths' Hall are marked thus* We agreed with some about their personal estates, because we thought they would be concealed, or embezzled, and their real estates are small, and under 200l. value.
