Committee for Advance of Money to the County Commissioners for Gloucestershire. In yours of the 13th, you note that the Act of Pardon has put some
stop to your proceedings, and ask directions. All seizings and securings of.
estates are discharged thereby, if no judgment has been taken; those who apply
on this ground we discharge, and order return of their securities, but it
would not be safe for you to proceed without special order. No sequestrations
made before 1 Dec. last are pardoned by the Act. Send us a list of those in your
county who were then sequestered, with their estates, and on what grounds, and
we will direct you. |

before 1 Dec. 1651, are not discharged. We can give no rule for further proceedings in such cases, and you are to certify how far you have proceeded,
