Oct. 4. Marlborough.	63. Order of the Court of Sessions for co. Wilts. on complaint of William Penny, that Edward Shoard, Constable of Maiden Bradley, having wrongly levied rates without consent of the churchwardens of the parish, and not having made proper submission, be bound over in 100l., and two sureties also bound in 50l. apiece, to appear at the next sessions, and that in the meantime he pay back the moneys he has collected, and pay also the moneys rated upon himself. And upon certificate by Sir Henry Ludlow of his conformity the Court will give further order. [2¼ pp.]
[Oct. before the 10th.]	64. Petition of George Kirke and others to the Council. It will appear by the letter of the Justices of the Peace for co. Lincoln (see Vol. CCCXXXIII., No. 11) that they committed six of the rioters [in the West Fen], delivering two of them to the under sheriff, and giving him a warrant to apprehend the other four. Mr. Snowden, one of the justices, charged him to send the two speedily to the gaol, but the next morning Mr. Coney, another of the justices, met him taking a prisoner to Lincoln gaol, and, asking him why he did not take the other two, he said this prisoner was of consequence, and left the other two to be brought at leisure by a bailiff. The other four are not yet taken. Pray letters to the High Sheriff to apprehend the four rioters, and also to the justices thanking them for their care of the service, and desiring them to find out the rest of the rioters. [1 p. See No. 73 below.]
