London Fifty Thousand Pounds, which they
have undertaken to advance for the Payment
of the Army raised in the Defence of the
Parliament.
Ordinance for Re-payment of 50,000 l. advanced by the City of London.
"Whereas the Lord Mayor and Commonalty of the
City of London, at the Request of the Commons in
Parliament, have promised to advance, by Way of
Loan, the Sum of Fifty Thousand Pounds, for the
Payment of the Army raised in Defence of the Parliament, Part of which Sum is already advanced, and
disposed for that Purpose, and the Residue is to be
paid with all Speed: To the End, therefore, that
the same may be secured, and paid again to such Persons or Companies as shall or have advanced any
Sum or Sums of Money for the raising of the said
Fifty Thousand Pounds, it is Ordained, by the Lords
and Commons in this present Parliament assembled,
That all and singular such Sum and Sums of Money,
as shall be raised or paid in upon the Ordinance of
both Houses of Parliament, for a Weekly Assessment upon the several Counties and Places in that
Ordinance mentioned, to commence from the Third
Day of this Instant August 1643, for Two Months,
shall be a Security for the Re-payment of the said
Fifty Thousand Pounds, with Interest after the Rate
of Eight Pounds per Centum: And, for that End, it
is further Ordained, That the Treasurer of the Army
shall and is hereby authorized to pay, to the Treasurers of Money and Plate, all such Sum and Sums of
Money as shall be paid in upon the Weekly Assessment,
as the same shall come in, until such Time as the said
Fifty Thousand Pounds with Interest as aforesaid, or
so much thereof as is and shall be advanced, be fully
satisfied; and, for the doing thereof, this shall be a
sufficient Discharge to the said Treasurer of the
Army: And, in Case the said Fifty Thousand Pounds
with Interest shall not be paid and satisfied out of
the Money raised, and to be raised, upon the said
Weekly Assessment, then the said Lords and Commons do hereby promise and undertake to secure the
Residue, that shall remain unsatisfied, out of the First
Money that shall be levied by any Ordinance of both
Houses, or out of any other Monies that the City of
London shall desire."
Ordinance for raising Horse, for Preservation of the Kingdom.
"Whereas, in a late Ordinance of Parliament, intituled, "A Declaration and Ordinance of the Lords
and Commons in Parliament, for the speedy raising
of a Body of Horse, for the Preservation, Peace, and
Safety, of the Kingdom, to resist the Insolences and
Outrages committed by the Soldiers of the King's
Army," there is no Provision made that the Tenants
shall pay the several Sums of Money that shall be
assessed upon the Landlords, for the Lands, Tenements, or Hereditaments, which they hold of them;
by reason of which Omission, great Inconvenience is
likely to happen unto the Commonweal (if it be
not prevented), for that many of the said Landlords
are gone out of the Country, and many others of them
have not sufficient Goods to be found, whereby to be
distrained for the said Sums of Money: For Remedy
of which Inconvenience, be it now Ordained, by the
Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament, That
whatsoever Sums of Money are or shall be set or
imposed, by virtue of the said recited Ordinance, upon
any Landlords, for or in respect of (fn. *) any Lands, Tenements, or Hereditaments, held of them by any
Tenants, the same Sums of Money shall be paid by
their several and respective Tenants (for and on the
Behalf of the said Landlords), for and towards the raising of the aforesaid Body of Horse; which said Sums
of Money (so to be paid by the said Tenants for the
Landlords as aforesaid) the said several and respective
Tenants shall (upon such Payment made by them
thereof) deduct and defalk out of the next Rents payable by them unto their Landlords; for so doing, the
said Tenants, and their Heirs, Executors, Administrators, and Assigns, and every of them, shall be (by Force
of this Ordinance) (fn. †) acquitted, and for ever saved harmless, against the said Landlords, and their Heirs, Executors, Administrators, and Assigns, and every of them;
any Grant, Covenant, Condition, Writing Obligatory,
or other Matter whatsoever, made heretofore to the con
trary notwithstanding: And it is further Ordained, by
the said Lords and Commons, That if any of the said
several and respective Tenants shall refuse or neglect to pay (for and on the Behalf of their respective
Landlords) any of the said several and respective
Sums of Money (so imposed, or to be imposed, by
Force of the said recited Ordinance, upon their said
several and respective Landlords, for or in respect of
any Lands, Tenements, or Hereditaments, held of the
said Landlords by the said Tenants as aforesaid), for
and towards the raising of the aforesaid Body of Horse,
unto such Persons unto whom the same Monies ought
to be paid by the Intent and Meaning of the said
recited Ordinance, that then it shall and may be lawful to and for the respective Deputy Lieutenants and
Committees of Parliament mentioned in the said
recited Ordinance, or any Two of them, to appoint a
Distress of the Goods of such Tenants to be taken, and
to be sold, for Satisfaction of the same Sums of Money,
which Distress and Sale shall be taken and made accordingly."
Ordinance for fortifying the Isle of Lovingland, in Suff. for Security of Yarmouth, &c.
"Whereas the Hundred of Lovingland, in the County
of Suff. and the Hundreds of The East and West
Flegg, in the County of Norff. are next adjoining to the
Port and Town of Greate Yarmouth, and are Places
of great Importance for the Safety and Relief of the
said Town and Harbour, and of the Inhabitants in
that Part of the Country; and the said Hundreds are
so situated, as no Access by Land is or can be had or
made unto them, but at certain Passages and Causeways, which may with small Charge be fortified and
secured; and, in these Times of Danger, great Security thereby may be to that Part of the Country:
It is therefore Ordered, by the Lords and Commons
in this present Parliament assembled, That the Passages, Ways, Bridges, and Causeways, leading to or
in the said Hundreds, be forthwith fortified and
secured, in such Sort and Manner as may best tend
to their Security, and Safety of the said Hundreds,
at the Costs and Charges of the several Freeholders,
Land-owners, and Inhabitants, within the said Hundreds respectively; and the Deputy Lieutenants of
the Counties of Norff. and Suff. respectively, or any
Five or more of them, or such as they or Five or
more of them shall appoint, shall and may, from
Time to Time, assess all such Persons as are Freeholders, Landholders, and Inhabitants of the said
Hundreds, for such Estate, as well Real and Personal,
as they have in the said Hundreds only, and not elsewhere, in the most indifferent and equal Manner;
and, in Case of Neglect or Refusal to pay such Money
so assessed, it shall and may be lawful for the said
Deputy Lieutenants, or any Two or more of them, to
appoint such Person or Persons as they think fitting,
to distrain the Persons so assessed, or their Farmers
and Lessees, for such Sums as shall be assessed on
them respectively; and the Distress so taken to sell,
rendering the Parties the Overplus, and, in Case of
Resistance, to break open Doors of Houses, Barns,
and Stables; and all Mayors, Sheriffs, Justices of
Peace, Constables, and other His Majesty's Officers, to be aiding and assisting in the Execution
hereof.
"And it is further Ordered, That, in Case of imminent Danger, or Approach or Invasion of an Enemy,
it shall and may be lawful for the Lord Lieutenants,
Deputy Lieutenants for the Counties of Norff. and
Suff. respectively, or any Three or more of them, to
nominate and appoint such Officers and Commanders,
and such and so many Soldiers, as they, or any Three
or more of them, shall hold fitting and necessary to
be put in the said Hundreds, for securing of the said
Hundreds, and keeping the said Passages there, to be
maintained at the Charge of the said Freeholders,
Landholders, and Inhabitants of the said Hundreds
respectively, and to be levied as abovesaid."
Order for 100 l. Contribution money to Sir James Barry.
"It is this Day Ordered, by the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament, That One Hundred
Pounds shall be bestowed upon Sir James Barry, out
of the Monies that are come in, or shall come in, upon
the Act of Contributions for Ireland, in Consideration
of the great Loss the said Sir James Barrey hath
sustained there, and the great Necessity he is reduced
unto by the Rebels; and the Receivers of the said
Monies are hereby authorized and required to pay
the said Sum of One Hundred Pounds to the said Sir
James Barrey, or such as he shall appoint to receive
the same; and an Acquittance under the Hand of
the said Sir James Barrey, or his Assignee, shall be
a sufficient Discharge to the said Treasurers, for
so much as they shall pay forth by virtue of this
Order."
