Aug. 25.
Queen's Court.
Council for Advance of Money to Ald. John Bernard, of Hull. We hear that you have sued and imprisoned Wm. Sikes for a debt of 216l., which he incurred by taking up moneys for the State. As he cannot pay you at present, Parliament has ordered him money, charged it on this committee, and wishes us to use our best means for his enlargement. The 216l. shall be paid you in course, or sooner if we can accomplish it, and meantime you shall have interest at 8 per cent. We request you, therefore, to discharge Sikes, showing thereby your charity to him and your good affection to Parliament. [A 24, p. 15.]
