David Edwards, Redrith, Surrey.

8 Nov. 1643. Vol. A No. or p.
Assessed at 400l. 63 83
[18 Nov. 1643.] He petitions that, being assessed at 100l. by the County Commissioners last August for his 1/20, he shewed that he had paid 28l. on the propositions, which they allowed and accepted 5l. for the present. That last November he had a ticket for 400l. from the Haberdashers' Hall assessors. The County Commissioners bade him make oath before them as to his 1/20, which he said was 45l., and paid 12l. to make it up. 93 49
He then stated his case to the Haberdashers' Hall Committee, but was told he must make up his payment to 200l. before he could be heard. This being impossible, he elapsed the 10 days for payment. Was then ordered to make oath before the Lord Mayor and to pay 17l. more or be committed; and now Jarvis, an officer, demands 5l., being his salary for the whole 400l., and 10s. for the warrant, which petitioner was obliged to pay. Begs repayment having shown his affection to Parliament by a liberal contribution.
29 Dec. 1643. Order that the 17l. deposited by him, with 28l. lent, be in discharge of his assessment, it being his proportion. 75 165
12 Jan. 1644. County Commissioners for Surrey to the Committee for Advance of Money. Statement of Edwards' case as above detailed. On hearing it, you said he ought not to pay two-twentieths, but should have his money restored, yet he is denied, on some claim that he ought to pay an assessment laid on [Thos.] Winder. We are obstructed by such complaints (which reflect upon us who sit to advance the service) that people who have been assessed by us are again assessed at Haberdashers' Hall, and we beg redress. With notes of reply that it was Edwards' own fault to pay more in Surrey when he had once cleared; that there had been no stay of repayment on pretence of Winder; and that if persons were re-assessed by the Committee for Advance of Money, they could clear themselves on oath as to their proportion. 93 50
23 Jan. Order that the money he paid in Surrey after he was reassessed be repaid him, and that the 5l. paid, and what was formerly lent be in discharge of his assessment, being his proportion on oath. 2 237
