Hereford. |
Major Wroth Rogers to the Committee for Compounding. On 10 Jan. last,
I had an order from the county committee to receive 5l. a week towards the
maintenance of my table, and repairs of the breaches of the works. Last
November I was obliged to use 200l. of the contribution money for the army
for victualling and repairing the castle, when Sir Hen. Lingen, by a desperate
plot, attempted its surprisal. I had the command of the Army Committee to
do this, and the county commissioners engaged themselves to make it good
to the Treasury, but they are disabled therefrom by the late order for all
moneys to remain in the tenants' hands till further order. I beg you to grant
an order for my allowance, and for the 200l. [G 114, p. 691.] Annexing

i. Order of the county committee that Major Rogers, governor of Hereford
Castle, be allowed from the next quarter's sequestrations 5l. a week towards
his charges, and that he have 10 loads of wood. 10 Jan. 1648–9. [G 114,
p. 695.] |
|
ii. [Army Committee to the County Committee for Herefordshire.] On your
complaint that Major Rogers has received from your treasurer, Mr. Blayney,
500l. for victualling Hereford Castle, and used menaces to the treasurer if he did
not pay it, we wrote to reprove Rogers, and to say that we would not allow any
part of the money raised for the army to be converted to such use, but must
deduct it out of the pay of the garrison. We find however by his letter,
that of 490l. received, but 200l. was army money, and the rest sequestration
money. We desire you to repay this 200l. to the army treasurer, it being
more fit for sequestration money to supply such occasions than army money,
the whole assessment not sufficing to discharge the pay. [G 114, p. 693.] |
