January 1649

Jan. 3. 534. Colonel Thomas Rokeby to Colonel Kempson, London. Not having heard from you for five months, I believed you to be dead or out of England, for Capt. Corbet sent me word that you had killed a man. I moved Monsieur le Tellier for raising soldiers, but there is no money to be had. We have only had one month's pay since I left you. This I will bring or send you, but it is more than I can do in future, as our commissary is very strict. Prince Robert's regiment is put into mine, and so is Colonel Lunsford's. Colonel Thorpe's regiment is re-formed, whereat he is ill content. [1 p.]
Jan. 18.
Londonderry.
535. Sir Charles Coote to Sir Adam Loftus. I formerly told you that Mr. Tucker had mis-spent some of the moneys entrusted to his care. With much ado, I have got all from him but about 140l., and how that will be obtained I cannot say. I think fit to acquaint you that the bearer of this, Mr. King, has given good testimony of his affection to Parliament, and has faithfully acquitted himself in the management of the moneys for the army here committed to his care. If you have not otherwise disposed of it, I think he may supply your deputy's place to your satisfaction. I have sent him to inform Parliament of the present condition of their affairs here, which is very sad. [1 p.] Annexed,
535. i., ii. Affidavits, sworn on 30th September 1652, by Sam Tooker and John Malcott, concerning the taking of the said Tooker by the Scots in Claneboys, and the loss of his papers. [= 1 p.]
