It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said Richard Carter, Thomas Burnham, John Paynton, Richard Prince, and Thomas Warland, be, and are hereby, discharged from any further Attendance upon this House concerning this Matter; and that their Bonds given to the Clerk of the Parliaments as aforesaid are hereby appointed to be canceled and delivered up.

It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That it be referred to all the Judges, to consider what Remedy the Persons who have laid on the said Actions and Executions may have by Law for securing their said Debts; and if they have none, then to set down such Means as they shall judge requisite for the securing thereof; and to make Report to this House on Wednesday Morning next.

Mangy released.
