Committee for Advance of Money to the Militia Committee of London.
We hear that Capt. Cooke, of the Yellow regiment, has granted a warrant to
his marshal to apprehend and carry to Wood Street Counter Martin Dallison
and Dan. Cox, our clerks, and Rob. Dunscombe, one of our officers, and there
to remain 2 days without bail, because, being his soldiers, they came not out
at the sound of the drum, to perform duty. It was the captain's duty, as
they are our officers, and in immediate service of Parliament, to acquaint us
before he issued his warrant. Consider that their whole time is spent in the
service, and they are often out of town. They desire no freedom from other
taxes, but this of finding men and arms, which during their employment is
reasonable. We send you a list of the 12 officers for whom we desire exemption. I doubt not you will take notice thereof. With list of the names,
being the three above-named, and |
