R. 186 578		 28 April 1646. He begs to compound. In 1643, when quietly residing at home, in perfect obedience to the Parliament, being then the King's ward, aged but 19, was, by a party of the State soldiers, causelessly pillaged of his goods, stripped of his clothes, violated in his person, and so threatened with wounds and torments that he was forced to fly to the enemies' quarters, 6 miles distant. The soldiers had no other pretext against him save that he had some of his name on the adverse party, arguing that he therefore was a malignant. His narrative is notoriously known to all the country, the County Committee at Chichester having expressed much sorrow for the accident. But for this violence, would never have taken arms against Parliament. Has been sequestered, lost many of his goods, and his woods have been felled at a loss of 2,000l.

The County Committee granted 80l. a year 2 years ago to Dan. Curry, a godly minister, plundered of all his estate by the enemy; but he has returned to the West, and they, being 500 families, are so plundered by the King's forces that they cannot raise a maintenance for their minister.
