May 1643
| May 1. | 139. A computation of the moneys due to the Scottish army in Ireland, conformable to the pay of the English army there. [1 sheet. Torn.] |
|---|---|
| May 11. London. |
140. Alderman Thomas Andrewes, high sheriff of London and Middlesex, to [the high constable of —county]. We were ordered by the House of Commons to bring up the arrears of contributions for the relief of the distressed Protestants in Ireland, and we sent agents into every county with books of instructions to the sheriffs, constables, and all officers concerned, but very little has come into the Poll Office, Guildhall, from your county. Pray despatch the moneys you have received, and give us an account of what you have paid to the sheriff, lest you have your name returned to the House and your person sent for by a messenger. You are to make this known to your partner that we may receive a just account, and the names of the parishes in your hundred. [1 p.] |
| May 12. | John Goodwyn, Chairman of the Committee for the affairs of Ireland, to the Dean and Chapter of Winchester and the Warden of the College there. We hear from the messengers employed by us in Hants to collect the new loan for Ireland that the Cathedral Church and College at Winchester, being privileged places, distinct from the city, and no particular directions having been given to the Dean and Warden, nothing has been done there. I am ordered by the Committee to recommend to your best care the advancement of so pious and charitable a work. [Copy. See No. 127 above, p. 23.] |
| May 18. | 141. Certificate of the Committee [of Accounts] to the House of Commons that Francis Hurdman has received 2,910l. 7s. 4d. on the composition of 2s. 6d. on every butt of sweet wines brought into the several ports, from Michaelmas 1641 to 18th of this May, 1643, of which 1,651l. 5s. 3d. should be allowed him. Of the 1,259l. 2s. 1d. due by him, he craves 28l. 8s. 3d., being 2d. in the pound for the expenses of collection. [1 p. Draft.] |
| [May.] | 142. [Isabel Warner] to G[eorge] W[arner]. The country affords no news but what comes post to you before my letters, else I might relate a story of Stafford, but I believe you have heard it. Colonel Percy came up with the Queen (fn. 1) and visited the town where your grey horse was, and took him with them, and the best horse your friend had besides. Mr. Richard Gree is now at liberty and went to Harborough with them, but could not prevail. He dealt very strangely with the country where he came. They made no difference betwixt friends and enemies, which has caused great dislike in those parts. Mr. Sharpe, who was in prison but a little before, lost above 300l., as is reported. Mr. R. G. sent a letter to acquaint us, which we sent speedily to W., and by chance he has procured your horse again. What you will be the better I know not, for W. has taken the horse, and for ought I know means to keep him. [1 p.] |
