2500 l. paid by the Earl of Thanet, towards discharging the Earl of Dorset's Debts, remaining in Mr. Gurney's Hands.
This Paper was brought into this House, and commanded to be read, as followeth:
Whereas the Earl of Thanett paid, in the Year
One Thousand Six Hundred and Forty, the Sum of Two
Thousand Five Hundred Pounds unto Sir Edward Hales,
Alderman Gurney, Mr. Laurance Whittacre, and one
Mr. Malborne, to be employed towards the Payment
of the Debts of the Lord Richard Earl of Dorsett
deceased; they have kept the said Money ever
sithence that Time in their Hands, and not paid it
according to a Decree in Chancery in that Behalf
made; so as the said Earl of Thanett hath no lawful
Discharge from the Creditors of the said Earl of
Dorsett, but is liable still to their Clamour, as if he
had never paid the said Money.
The Money, as the Earl of Thanett is informed,
rests wholly in the Hands of the said Alderman
Gurney, who stands a Delinquent, and the Money so
in Danger of being lost, the Earl of Thanett having
often desired them to pay the Money according to
the Decree; so as if the House, in this Time of
Necessity, please to call for this Money, it will rest
safer in the Parliament's Hands than in the Hands of
One who is a Delinquent."
Message to the H. C. that it may be applied for the Safety of the Western Parts.
Hereupon this House thought it fit to send this Paper
to the House of Commons, and to acquaint them how
it came into this House; and to propound unto them,
that the said Two Thousand Five Hundred Pounds
may be employed to the Relief of the Western Parts,
to Plymouth, Poole, and Lyme, according to the Ordinance of Parliament.
And accordingly a Message to this Purpose was sent
to the House of Commons, by Sir Rob't Rich and Mr.
Page:
Abp. of Cant's Trial.
Next, the House proceeded to hear the Residue of
the Evidence against the Archbishop of Canterbury upon
the Seventh Articles of the First and Second Charges.
The Evidence being ended, the Archbishop desired
some short Time to recollect himself, to prepare to make
his Answer.
And the House gave him Time till Four of the
Clock this Afternoon.
Adjourn.
House adjourned till 4a post meridiem.
