my disbursements you will discourage me. I hope you have

sending all with Captain Constable. With bill for porterage, &c.,

220. The Earl of Manchester to Major-General Crawford. I am
exceedingly joyed at your letter, imparting your good success in
the taking of Sheffield Castle, which we have all great reason to
bless God for, and the more that you have lost so few men before
it. Whatever has been laid out by you, either for encouragement
to the soldiers or other necessaries, shall be repaid. I thank you
heartily for your care of the regiments under your command, and
agree, as you desire, that 100l. be given to your own regiment, 50l.
to Colonel Montague's, and 50l. to Colonel Pickering's, as also 60l.
for shoes and stockings for your men, which sums I pray you
disburse, and they shall be allowed you. Endorsed by Crawford.

Mr. Dillingham's, Bolt and Tun Alley, Fleet Street. My Lord
desires you, out of the 2,000l. ordered you yesterday, to pay 100l.
to Richard Tredwell, cutler, of London. You need not take any
acquittance, for I have received one already, but he will deliver
up to you a note under Colonel King's hand, which please keep.
With receipt by Tredwell, 3rd of September. [1 p.] |

222. Order in the House of Commons, that Captains Miles
Dodson, Thomas Constable, Richard Warren, and Thomas Howse,
who have served in the entertainment of Parliament, shall have
the Public Faith for such moneys yet unpaid as they have warrants

223. Order in the House of Commons, that Mr. Strode and
Mr. Ashe acquaint Sir David Watkins that the House is well
satisfied of his good affection, and returns him thanks. [Printed
in Commons' Journals, Vol. III., p. 609.] |
|
With note that this order was made because Sir John Clotworthy had misinformed the House that Watkins had subscribed
large sums for the service and never paid them, and was "a
beggarly unworthy fellow." Strode proved that Watkins had
disbursed "for the advance of our brethren of Scotland" 8,492l.,
and other sums. Also that he had paid a fine of 1,500l. on
security to be saved harmless against the King, and 500l. engaged
for Mr. John Pym. Dennis Bond moved that Sir David should be
sent for to the House, and that Clotworthy should ask his forgiveness.
