45. County Commissioners for Devonshire to the Committee for Advance of
Money. We send you new discoveries and certificates on appeals, which we
could not send earlier, because of the late troubles and dangers by the post,
among which is Mr. Putt's charge. We believe, by what was done against the
prosecutors and threatened against us, that he is the chief cause of the trouble
put on us in this journey. The prosecutors have urged warrants to examine
more witnesses and complete their proofs, but his being high sheriff of the
county made us as modest therein as we could be, lest he should plead that as
an obstruction to his work; also we could not well attend to it, because of our
employment in the county militia. We send examinations in several cases of
delinquents. [Some are in Tables 23 January and 8 July 1651; of the remainder,
being eight, there is no further account.] |
|
We send particulars of the money received, part is to be paid in to the treasury,
and the rest will be returned as speedily as possible. The tenants complain
much of an unexpected charge of free quarter, contrary to order, and of high
rents; they clamour for allowance, or they will be enforced to leave their
bargains. |
