[9 March 1653.] Chamberlain petitions the Committee for relief
on Articles of War. Can prove by Sir Thos. Fairfax's certificate that he was in Truro Articles, and by Fairfax's endeavours
with Parliament, most of those included compounded at 2 years'
value. Came to London and addressed the Committee for Compounding, but was refused as being a Papist in arms, so that the
profits of his estate have ever since been received by the State,
and he and his children reduced to great extremities. Being
now in the late Act of Sale, will be deprived of his estate,
though the honour of Parliament and faith of the armies is
concerned therein. Begs to compound on these Articles, with
allowance of all or most of what has been received from his
estate towards his fine. |

his name being in the late Act for Sale, that he be relieved
against the sale of his estate—he having petitioned to compound,
5 June 1647, but no proceedings taken thereon—and that
he be allowed to compound on the said Articles,—the order of
Parliament of 26 Oct. 1649, allowing the benefit of them to
Papists in arms,—at 1/10, or 2 years' value; the receipts of his
estate to be defalcated from his fine. |

|

1 Sept. It appearing that the 3 years' rents received from the
estate amount to more than the fine, it has been discharged
without payment, and at his request he is to have the rents due
since 29 Sept. 1652, as allowed him by the Committee for relief
on Articles of War. |

28 Dec. In reply to queries by the County Committee, the Committee for Compounding order that as to the 1/5 paid to the
children, viz., 42l. 8s., 10d., the auditor certifies the receipt from
the estate for 3 years, ending 29 Sept. 1652 at 196l. 14s., above
taxes and quit rents; but if that included the 1/5, it may now be
deducted. As to the Earl of Richmond's claim of 2 years' quit
rents from Somerford, he has not compounded for it, and therefore it must continue sequestered. As to Chamberlain's being
a recusant, the Committee for relief on Articles of War have
decided that he is to compound on Truro, Articles notwithstanding, and therefore they are to discharge his estate without
further trouble. |
