His estate being sequestered for complicity in Sir George Booth's rising, and his son John begging allowance of a rent-charge of 30l. a year on his sequestered estate, the County Commissioners are to examine witnesses on oath to prove the deeds, and to take care that they are not abused by any personating the witnesses. 243 171

Thomas Baker, Wrexham, Co. Denbigh.

16 Nov. 1659. Vol. G No. or p.
The North Wales Committee having reported badly of him, the Committee for Sequestrations will deal as severely as they can with justice, but cannot deny him the liberty of an appeal and trial, as he is resolved to stand upon it; so the North Wales Committee must examine witnesses, let him cross-examine, and send up the depositions, but his goods and rents cannot be disposed of before trial. As to his concealed goods, the penalty is not on a supposed delinquent who conceals, because no man is a delinquent till he is adjudged or confesses, but upon second persons who conceal delinquents' estates. 59 138
