On 25 March 1647, he leased for one year a house in Love Lane, Aldermanbury, from Edm. Edwards, at 20l. rent, of which he paid 15l.; but, in
obedience to an order of this committee, detained the last quarter's rent till
obliged to deposit in the hands of an officer of Wood Street Compter. Begs
that he may not be further molested therefor. [1 page.] |

91. Petition of Fras. Bethum, Provost Marshal for Parliament's Guard,
and his assistants to the Committee for Advance of Money. On a commission
from the Derby House Committee, they have fulfilled their duty, in spite
of menaces against their lives by malignants and others; by so doing, those
of them who were tradesmen have lost their trade, and have only their pay
to depend upon. They had an order from the two Houses for 200l., but have
only received 80l., and beg speedy payment of the 120l. [¾ page.] |

92. Petition of Capt. Rob. Rynd and 5 other officers to the Committee for
Advance of Money. Have much money due to them for arrears, and in
attendance for payment, have spun out much time, and spent more than they
have received. Having heard of an estate, real and personal, of a notorious
Papist, whose father was "chief actor in that horrid and unparallelled gunpowder plot," and who, finding himself exempted from composition, has fled
beyond seas, they beg a warrant to John Elliott, their trustee, to search for,
seize, appraise, and sell the said estate, defalk therefrom 1/5 for their discovery,
and keep from the remainder all their arrears of pay. [1 page.] |

93. Petition to the Committee for Advance of Money of Margaret, wife of
Capt. Wm. Gualter, who served Parliament in those wars, lost his estate therein,
has arrears of 200l. due, and is a prisoner in Newgate for debt, so that she has
not food for her 2 small children. Hearing that some moneys are to be disposed of by them for the distressed, begs a part thereof. [2/3 page.] |
|
94. Petition of Wm. Lane, treasurer, that his accounts may be audited,
and be discharged from his office. Little expected at his appointment that he
would be required so long, and 2½ years ago, and often since, has begged an
audit, but could not obtain it. Being partner in a trade, his co-partners
liberated him 2 years, but the last 2 years he has had to attend according to
his bond, and, his father being very aged, he is obliged to attend to the business.

95. Col. John Gurdon to the Committee for Advance of Money. Susan,
widow of Giles Greenaway, slain in Parliament service at the last battle of
Newbury, is a great object of charity, having 3 small children. There are
many arrears due to her husband, so I beg for her part of the contribution for
distressed widows now to be distributed. [1 page.] |
