6 July. Order that the Committee for Compounding allow
petitioner's title to the estate sequestered for recusancy of
Eliz. Mansfield, widow of Thos. Roots, who only held it for
life, and it was entailed on petitioner, but as he was a recusant
convict in 1625, they cannot so far notice his present conformity as to discharge 2/3 of the estate, till Parliament declares
what shall be considered conformity; he may have 1/3 and his
mansion house, and the 2/3 are to continue sequestered for his
recusancy. |
