10 Nov. 1652. Committee for Advance of Money to the Commissioners for co. Carmarthen. We find you are held off
from your duty by the allegations of Wm. Gwynn, who claims
the Act of General Pardon. This is frivolous, because the
debt was sequestered by the late Committee for Advance of
Money in 1647 and 1648, and we have made divers orders in
the case. Proceedings detailed; no payment has been made,
all orders notwithstanding, and now we wish you speedily to
levy the 300l. ordered, and return the rent-roll of the estate,
and you shall have indemnity of Parliament for what you do. |

24 March 1653. Committee for Advance of Money to the
Trustees for Sale of Delinquents' Lands. We hear that Wm.
Gwynn intends to have the lands in his mortgage surveyed as
the Earl of Worcester's lands, and then to buy them back from
the State, hoping thereby to avoid our orders, and get them
more cheaply than by paying the debt. We desire you to stay
these proceedings, and let the money due on the mortgage be
paid into our Treasury. |

sent by the Committee of Safety with Mr. Milner to Worcester

Milner said they were so undervalued that the State would not

not valued at all, because Mr. Glynn protected them, and for
doing it, was gratified with jewels to a great value. That

keys, and would not deliver them up, saying he would satisfy
the committee himself. |
