Gloucester. |
17. Commissioners for Sequestrations for County Gloucester to the Committee for Advance of Money at Haberdashers' Hall. We received your express,
requiring us to send up a schedule of the personal estate of all Papists and
delinquents within our county, as also of all money received and paid, together
with the balance in hand, to the treasurers at Guildhall by the 30th inst., by
virtue of the Ordinance of Parliament of 19 August 1643; but the same might
have been more properly given by the committee who transacted the work at
that time, and who are now dead, removed, or absent, than by us, who are but
newly appointed, and strangers to the work; nevertheless, we have examined
the records, and sent up the schedules. Though some of the compositions may
seem low, we are confident they were made at the time upon very good reasons,
as the country was then in a miserable condition. The money you write of the
committee have paid, according to an Ordinance of Parliament of 10 May
1664, for maintenance of this garrison, which otherwise could not have been
kept up, and have accounted for the same, so that nothing now remains in our
hands. [1¾ pages.] |
