the 13th of this Instant April, we have, in the Presence of the Counsel on either Part, examined the
Causes of the Restraint of John Baynes, and do find,
by Certificate from the Prison of The Counter belonging to the Sheriffs of London hereto annexed,
that he is in Custody of the said Sheriff for Eighteen
Matters in the said Certificate mentioned, Sixteen
of them being upon Plaints against him before the
said Sheriffs in Actions of Debt, and upon the Case
(fn. ||) of Trespass for the Debts and Damages, amounting
in the whole to above Thirteen Hundred Pounds;
the Seventeenth of the said Actions being brought
by an Informer, as well for the King as for himself,
for Two Hundred Pounds Debt, demanded upon
One of the Statutes made against Recusants, as we
are informed; and the Eighteenth Matter being a
Capias Utlagatum awarded against him out of the
Court of King's Bench, at the King's Suit, upon
Conviction there for Recusancy, by Outlawry, before the Time wherein the said Baynes doth pretend
himself to be retained a Servant to the Lord Morley:
For the Indictment itself, for his Recusancy in not
coming to Church, was found in Easter Term, 16°
Caroli Regis, before the Beginning of this Parliament, as appears by a Copy of that Indictment produced by Baynes's Counsel, and hereto annexed;
and the Outlawry upon that Indictment was had
4 Februarii, 16° Caroli Regis, being now above
Two Years and Two Months past, as appears by
a Copy of the Capias Utlagatum hereto annexed; and
the Time of the Retainer by my Lord Morley doth
not appear to us otherwise than by an Affidavit of
one Ambrosse Hopton, produced by Baynes's Counsel,
and sworn 15 Aprilis, 1643, whereby it is affirmed
that Baynes hath been a Servant to the Lord Morley
for Two Years, or thereabouts, before the making
of the said Affidavit, as by the said Affidavit hereto
likewise annexed appears: All which we humbly
refer to your Lordships further Consideration.
