Owen Wood, Rhosmore, Co. Anglesey.


	Vol. G.	No. or p.

Pleads that he opposed the late revolt of the island from their obedience to Parliament to the uttermost of his power, and to the danger of person and estate; that this notwithstanding, two several payments were imposed upon him by fine of the Commissioners, as his proportions of the first and last payment on the composition of 9,000l., within the precise days limited by the Act, whereupon, as he humbly conceived, he was immediately pardoned, and acquitted of delinquency if any such had been.	137	111
Thereupon Parliament chose him as the only man they could confide in to be high sheriff of the county, and he has ever since continued an active Commissioner for Parliament. He was assessed a third time, but the Commissioners took up his ticket, as he had answered the Act by his former payments. Yet they have assessed him a fourth time, have not answered his appeal, and threaten to summon him as a defaulter.
Having paid as much as a delinquent in arms, and Parliament distinguishing between those active, and those compelled to share in the insurrection, he begs confirmation of immunity.
26 July 1653. The Commissioners for gathering the remainder of the fine of 24,000l. imposed on North Wales are to certify why they have assessed him a fourth time, and meanwhile to forbear proceedings.	25	140
