Order of the Commissioners for Sequestrations—on request of the Trustees
for Maintenance of Ministers, that the rectories, tithes, &c., claimed by them
may be given into their disposal, especially those named in a certificate from
co. York, of 11 Nov. 1654—that a particular of those claimed be sent in and
examined by the registrar, with the surveys remaining with the said trustees;
and if they agree, the committee will give such orders as may be most agreeable to their trust, and may most free the trustees from trouble and expense.

Jas. Dewy to the Commissioners for Sequestrations. Particulars of cases,

distress can be taken; and if I re-enter, I should void the grant, and there
would not be so much bid again, it being let very high. |
