Petition of Thomas Almon, M.A., Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, to
the House of Commons, that Richard Johnson and Thomas Crouch, and their
accomplices, may be called in question for misdemeanors. |
|
At the time of the first war against Parliament, the plague being in Cambridge, the College was broken up, and most of the Fellows were sent
away, but Crouch. Johnson, and 7 others remained; and taking advantage of
the absence of the rest, seized on such plate and moneys as were then in the
college, to the value of 500l., and 800 ounces of plate, and carried them to
York, to be used in the war against Parliament, to the hazard of life, liberty,
and religion. Has long expected that these offenders would be called on to
make good the damage to the State and college, but instead of that, they make
themselves disposers of all things in the College,—though against its statutes,
and the Ordinances of Parliament,—tyrannize over those who have been cordial
to Parliament, and abet its foes. Can prove what he says, having long lived
in the college; begs that the men may be questioned, the college reformed, and
God glorified. [A 21, p. 173.] |

4s., and this should be rectified in the assessment book. [2/3 page.] |
