Isaac Gilpin transmits to Wm. Lenthall, Speaker, by order of Sir Art. Hesilrigge and the rest of the County Sequestration Committee, the originals of the proceedings concerning George Lilburne and Thos. Shadforth, the parties being come to London to attend the business. 153 261
The enclosures are as follows:—
I. 12 Sept. 1642. Warrants to the constables of Darlington ward, and Stockton ward, co. Durham, to send in respectively 20, 30, and 30 horses furnished to Newcastle, for conveying his Majesty's ammunition from Newcastle, on payment of 5s. a day. Signed and sealed by Sir Wm. Carnaby, Sir Thos. Riddell, Sir Thos. Liddell, and George Lilburne. 153 329
–332
II. 8 Sept. 1647. Information by Thos. Shadforth 153 299
1st. That Lilburne, being a justice of peace, joined with Sir Wm. Carnaby, Sir Thos. Riddell, jun., and Sir Thos. Liddell, in issuing warrants to bring in 80 horses from Darlington, and 60 from Stockton ward, to convey the King's ammunition from Newcastle. 152 299
2nd. That he sent a musket to Col. Hilton, then Colonel under the Earl of Newcastle against Sir Hugh Cholmley and Col. Boynton.
iiird. That he compelled a servant of his, by beating him, to serve against Parliament.
III. 16 Sept. 1647. Depositions in proof thereof 153 301
iv. 18 Sept. Certificate by Ralph Lambton. Lilburne was taken, 11 Nov. 1642, and brought prisoner to Durham; there I visited him, and often tried to persuade him to yield and be freed, on giving a horse or 150l. to Sir Wm. Lambton for the Earl of Newcastle's army, urging him, for the sake of his wife and children, not to hold out; but though he was cruelly used, he said he would rot in prison rather than assist against Parliament. 153 297
v., vi. Note and certificate in proof thereof 153 266
296
VII. 30 Sept. Lilburne's answer to Shadforth's charge 1st. Does not remember signing any warrants for the King's service. 153 303
2nd. Denies sending any men to Col. Hilton to fight against Parliament, but long ago corrected a servant for refusing to serve in the trained band under Col. Hilton, when he was Major of the trained bands.
3rd. Absolutely denies it.
No man in the North more opposed superstitious actions. Was brought before the High Commission Court, and sent to gaol for finding fault with Dr. Bazeer's superstitious prayers, and was sent 3 or 4 times to London, by warrant from the Archbishop of Canterbury, for speeches against bishope, and by the Privy Council for refusing to pay ship-money, to his loss of 1,000l. Took 11 witnesses to London to prove his case in Parliament, but greater matters stayed his proceedings.
In 1642, when the Earl of Newcastle came to the North, was indicted for not coming to prayers, and put off the bench of justices by Judge Heath. Was reported to the Earl as the greatest enemy in those parts, and sent for to Newcastle, put into restraint, and much abused by his officers, as puritan, rogue, and roundhead.
Stole away with Lever, Carr, and others, and went to Edinburgh to ask help from Pickering, Parliament's agent there. Returned home on his wife's assurance that Sir Wm. Lambton would protect him. Met the county gentlemen to try to dissuade them from setting up the Commission for Array; narrowly escaped being taken by them, and getting away to join Capt. Hotham, was seized, brought to Durham, robbed of all he had, and taken to York, where he was kept 14 months, resisting the offers of Ralph Lambton to have him liberated, if he would contribute to the Earl of Newcastle's forces.
Accuses his informer as being an associate of delinquents, aiding the Commission of Array, refusing to serve under the Earl of Essex, being a favourer of ministers banished for disaffection, a concealer of delinquents' goods, an oppressor of the people, &c. Says the present information is brought to shuffle off proceedings on foot against the informer, with whom he has lately quarrelled, though they were good friends formerly.

[6 April 1649.] Petition of Thos. Shadforth to the House of Commons. Has long since complained to the County Commissioners of Durham, that Geo. Lilburne, J.P., aided the Earl of Newcastle, by giving his oath to ministers and others, and by joining with Sir Wm. Carnaby, Sir Thos. Riddell, and Sir Thos. Liddell in pressing 140 horses from Durham to carry ammunition to the King before the battle of Edgehill. The warrants are now in the hands of John Blackston, M.P. Also that he assisted the King's deputy-lieutenant, and Commissioners of Array. That he armed a servant who fought in Col. Hilton's regiment at Marston Moor, and after the defeat, returned to Lilburne's house. That he then by cunning got into places of trust, which he has betrayed by obtaining for his friends great bargains of lands. Begs that worthy persons in the Northern Committee may be appointed to hear these charges. 155 352
6 April. He petitions the Northern Committee that the witnesses in support of his charge may be examined in the 155 349
country, as he has lost so much by the Earl of Newcastle's forces, and by raising a troop of horse for Parliament, that he cannot bear the charge of bringing them up and maintaining them in town.

4th. That he joined in the last invasion made by the Scots, and published letters of intelligence, discouraging such as took part with Parliament.

2nd. Denies it, being at that time prisoner for 8 months, though 60 years old, in York gaol, for refusing to join the Earl of Newcastle.
3rd. He bid for lands to encourage others, and they were let low because of the unsettled state of the country; but the did not combine with his brother and Mitford, and has taken no lands since the Ordinance forbidding sequestrators to take them. He had ⅓ of Ford Manor from Sir Wm. Smith, as in right of his wife, and ⅓ of 2/3 from [Thos.] Hollyman, as dower of his wife, but has been so troubled with debts of John Hilton's, assessments, free quarters, and billetts, that he would gladly have given up the lands.
4th. He denies entirely, stating that he tried to suppress the invasion.
27 Aug. 1650. Petition of Lilburne to the Committee for Compounding for an order to the County Committee to return him his books of accounts, which they have seized with a strong hand, and yet demand his accounts, which he never refused. 153 97

[6 Nov. 1650.] Petition of Lilburne to the Committee for Compounding. Was justice of peace many years in the King's time, and tried to preserve the people's rights against his arbitrary prerogative; resisted ship-money and clergy innovations at great expense, being twice imprisoned, and on his appeal to Parliament, found great respect from some who are now his adversaries. 153 103
When the last war arose, was the forwardest for Parliament, and therefore taken prisoner in Sept. 1642, and forced to sign warrants for summoning horses for the Earl of Newcastle. He and his party so violently opposed the Commissioners of Array that it came to blows, and he had to fly for life, and leave his wife and 12 small children to the fury of his adversaries. Was seized before he could get to young Hotham, carried to Durham gaol, and then, though 60 years old, marched through mire and dirt to York, where they threw him into a dungeon, and used him barbarously 14 months, as is well known to Sir John Boucher, M.P., his fellow prisoner. Was then judged worthy of an honourable exchange, and afterwards employed as J.P., and as Commissioner of Militia and of Sequestration.
In 1645 a delinquent, brother in law of a Northern Parliament man, to smother his own guilt, accused petitioner of signing those warrants, and he was reproached for it in the House of Commons. Pressed Sir Ant. Hesilrigge and the Committee to bring the case to an issue, after it had lain 2 years dormant, but the accuser prestended that petitioner was so powerful that the witnesses durst not appear. Obtained an order in the Committee to transfer the case to Parliament, when the accuser's brother offered to cease the prosecution if petitioner would cease his charge against his delinquent brother.
He declined, and in 1648 the case was brought before a Parliament Committee, Sir Ant. Hesilrigge and a brother of his accuser being among the judges. Brought up 7 or 8 zealous Parliament men as witnesses, and fully cleared himself, and a report was ordered to the House, and he advised to return home meanwhile. But the report being delayed, his adversaries, having displaced from office the old Parliamentarians in the country, brought against him a second charge of fraud last May, and sequestered his whole estate, and he has never yet been able to bring the case to and issue. Begs copies of his charge, and a fair hearing.
6 Nov. Order for his estate not to be sequestered for delinquency, or faults in his accounts, until he has a copy of the charge and proofs, and unless there be further cause of delinquency than has been transmitted. 10 201
8 Nov. Frances, wife of Metcalfe Ripon, merchant of Newcastleon-Tyne, informs that George Grey offered her husband 40l., 60l., and at length 100l. in lieu of a debt of 160l. due to him by John Brignell, on bond of double that sum, and threatened, if he refused to accept it, to pay the money to the State, the husband being a delinquent; and at length, when he was prisoner in London, being in want of money, she accepted the offer, and gave up the bond. 155 27

Losses by John Hilton, who took the land when he was in prison; claims upon it of ⅓ by the widow of Hen. Hilton, who in 1645 married Sir Wm. Smith, Bart., as her jointure, and of ⅓ of the remaining; 3/2; by Margaret, widow of Rob. Hilton, brother and heir of Henry. Has duly accounted for the manor, and committed no waste. Also accounted for ¼ of a colliery at Lambton, rented from Sir. Wm. Bellasis and George Grey, but denies that it belonged to Ralph Lambton or any Papist.
29 April. Order on information that Lilburne has received large sums from Ford Manor, that the County Committee examine witnesses as to its value and his profits, allowing him to crossexamine. 14 99
4 July. Petition of George Lilburne to Parliament. Before the late wars, was deeply engaged against the tyrannical power of the late King in point of ship-money, suffered much, and was several times in prison. Hoping liberty from this Parliament, promoted its interest in the Northern Counties, being justice of the peace, and held meetings, and tried to raise forces to oppose those being raised in 1642 for the King. In October opposed the Commission of Array at hazard of his life at the Sessions house, Durham; had to fly for his life, and tried to join Col. Hotham; but being apprehended by the Earl of Newcastle, was carried prisoner to Durham and in November was dragged on foot, through mire and dirt, at the tail of the King's carriages, to York Castle, where he was barbarously used till the end of 1643, when he was released on exchange, his house being meanwhile plundered, and scarce bread enough left for his 12 small children. Has since continued faithful in offices of trust, as Commissioner of Militia, Sequestrations, &c., and that in times of danger when others have deserted. 153 75 73
This notwithstanding, he has been persecuted for 4 years by the County Commissioners, the Committee for the Northern Association, and the Committee for Advance of Money, on pretence that in Sept. 1642, he signed 2 warrants to bring in ammunition to the King's forces then in Newcastle garrison. Begs speedy judgment, without further vexation, exhausting of his estate, or loss of his time.

He denies that he holds any money of Lambton's, or that Ralph Lambton ever had an estate in Lambton colliery, which was leased in 1647 by Sir William and Hen. Lambton to Grey and Sir Wm. Bellasis; at first they allowed Ralph Lambton to put in stock, but dismissed him for unjust dealing, and when the Earl of Newcastle held the country, he disposed of all the coals. Grey denies that he has moneys in hand from Harraton colliery, but is prepared to give accounts. [See the case of the Harraton Colliery claimants, 20 Oct. 1649.] 87
