50l. a year, allowed by the Committee for Plundered Ministers
out of Hungerton Rectory to Wells [Thos. Weld], vicar of
Wanlip, co. Leicester, is paid him, notwithstanding the letters

12 May. Sir Robert is to settle out of the rectory of Hungerton
the 50l. a year on the minister at Wanlip, 500l. being allowed
him therefor; also 50l. a year on each of the ministers of Towcester, Daventry, and Hemington, for three lives, out of

June? Having paid a moiety, and secured the rest of his fine,
he complains of the order to settle 200l. a year upon four small
ministers, and to receive abatement only after the rate of
7 years' purchase. Compounded for Towcester Rectory as of
the clear yearly value of 230l., held of the Bishop of Lichfield,
and bought it a little before the beginning of Parliament at
12 years purchase. One farmer has prohibited all persons from
setting out petitioner any tithes, affirming that he is admitted
tenant to the parsonage. Before the said order, had sold it to
Alderman Adams, and so cannot perform the order. The
rectory, moreover, required 600l. to be spent on it, to make the
title good. |

July? The parishioners of Towercester complain that Sir Robert's
agents terrify them with arrests and threats, and beg that his
hands may be tied form molesting them, in pity for the poor
condition of the town, which was a King's garrison, and the
a sufficient were plundered, and made unable to maintain
a sufficient minister. [27 signatures.] |

disobedience to orders, and begs maintenance of his grant, as

to the State; if he takes the arrears, Weld will lose all his
labours and journeys to London. |

20 March. The parishioners of Hungerton beg the Committee for
Compounding, if they buy that rectory of Sir Robert for the
church, to settle it not on the minister of Wanlip, but on their
minister, Thomas Hollier, who for 42 years has diligently and
painfully preached the word there, and whose allowance is
only 40 marks a year. |

|
20 March. Committee for Compounding to the County Committee for Leicester. We judge it right to settle the rectory
as requested, but being unwilling that the country should lose
a man of so much worth as Wells, we provide that,—Sir Robert's
lands in Ingarsby, compounded for by him at 650l. a year,
having been returned as worth 800l. a year, and so let to him,—with his consent, all the surplusage shall be paid to Wells. |

wasted. The arrears due to Wells from the date of the order
of the Committee for Plundered Ministers are to be satisfied
out of the profits of any part of Sir Robert's estate in the
county, growing due at Lady Day 1648. |
