	10 July. Order in the Committee for Advance of Money accordingly.	7	154

	12 Sept. 1649. He begs speedy payment of more, the 60l. being seized by creditors almost before it was paid him, his wife being weak and in much distress, and he not daring to go out for fear of arrest for debts.	123	142
	12 Sept. Order for 40l. from the money to be paid by Mr. Strode	7 123	264 143
	14 Sept. Note of payment of 100l. out of the 450l. ordered; and note by Treas. Dawson, 2 Dec. 1651, that no further money has been paid him.	123	144

Elizabeth, Baroness of Sussey, his wife, petitions that, her husband being cast into prison for 150l., for which he engaged himself on behalf of the State when he was general of artillery—was forced, in order to gain his freedom, to sell his order for 450l. to Wm. Ridges, an upholsterer in Long Lane for 200l. That Ridges has paid but 141l. of the 200l., and the rest in goods, nothing near the value rated. Her husband is beyond sea, and she in a sad condition with a charge of 10 children. She begs relief, that Ridges may be paid the money received and the commodities, and she ordered the rest. Noted, "Committee cannot do anything in it."	123	145
O.P. 123 147	14 July 1652. Sir David Hasteville, prisoner in the Fleet, petitions the Council of State. I came to the King's Court 24 years ago, I and all my generation being Papists, but I became in conscience a Protestant, and for this I had 5,000l. a year in places, and promotion in France, taken from me, being Knight Commander and Great Cross of the Christian Militia, Abbot Baron of the Vale of Holy Cross, Prior of Beaulieu, General Commander of the Order of Camaldules, &c., &c.	123	146
	In the late wars,—having been trained in martial affairs abroad, and having refused several proffers from the late King and Prince Rupert—I engaged under the Earl of Essex, was in the battle of Edgehill, was chosen general of artillery to Sir Wm. Waller, raised 314 men, maintained them 10 weeks at a charge of 500l., was colonel under the Earl of Essex in the West, dangerously wounded, and neither asked nor received a penny; and being in the last action at Worcester, I am condemned in France to be beheaded, and my estate confiscated. I offered General Cromwell, if the State needed aid, to bring in 10,000 Swiss, having long commanded amongst them. I have lost 3 children through want, having been prisoner since 23 June last. I beg renewal of the order to pay me the balance of 350l. due, and a settlement by pension or otherwise, to keep my family from perishing.

	15 Sept. Wm. Ridges, skinner of London, petitions that on 24 Oct. 1649, Hasteville sold him the 350l. still due on his Parliament Order, but the Committee for Advance of Money refused to pay the money without a renewed Parliament Order, being ordered not to pay money except on Parliament Order. That Lady Hasteville has promised to try to obtain this Parliament Order, on his promise to pay her 60l. more, but he fears that she is trying to obtain payment of the rest to her husband or herself, and has got an order from the Council of State to certify the case. Pleads that he gave Sir David more for the Parliament Order than any other would have done, and begs that his case may be certified to the Council of State, and he not deprived of the benefit of his assignment.	123	153 154

	20 July 1653. Order thereon that Brereton draw up a report to be presented to the Council.	12	396
	13 Sept. 1653. He reports that in 1650, Hasteville revoked his power of attorney to Ridges, for non-payment of the sum agreed on, but that the Committee for Advance of Money cannot pay the residue, 350l., without a Parliament Order.	123	158

Calcott Chambers, New Soaphouse, Foxhall, Surrey.


	Vol. A	No. or p.

Depositions to the effect that there was treasure hid in his house, for which he had been offered 25,000l.; that it had been a coining place, where money had been coined for the King, and that the Queen had come to mass there weekly, and taken the accounts of the coiners, but that those who had been employed therein, or were likely to discover the treasure, being 12 persons, had been poisoned.	123	159 –165
17 Oct. 1648. Chambers petitions the Committee for Advance of Money. Overtures were made me by Thos. Wells to discover treasure hidden in my house 14 years ago, and I was at first over-credulous, but finding their vanity and falsehood, I refused to neglect my employment and follow his fancies. Thereupon he and others framed accusations against me and my wife, pretending, out of zeal to the State, to discover treasure belonging to Papists hid in my house, whereas he had long sought, by advice of astrologers and magicians, to find the fancied treasure, and thereon he accused me and my wife to Speaker Lenthall. We attended Lenthall on summons, and the falseness of the accusation was so apparent that we were released, and also Mrs. Sherwin, committed on the same matter. But though, by the Speaker's order, a thorough search was made in and about the house for days together, and nothing found, yet a fresh order has been procured to dig in my house, which interferes with my employment of soap-boiling, and I and my family are disquieted and plundered. It is most improbable that money should be hid in my house 14 years ago, before any rumour of war, therefore I beg to know—	123	166
1st. Who is to repair my house and grounds after the digging?
2nd. What is to be the limit of the time allowed for digging in my house, that I may not always be subject to be insulted over by malicious people ?

Wyatt, delinquent in arms, and the concealment carried on by John Eliot, a Commissioner of Array; he confesses that he promised to obtain the estate for Richard, who conceals it under colour of a will said to be made by Thomas, who died in Bristol, a King's garrison, as an uncompounded delinquent. Eliot pretended that the estate was but 500l., and that Richard compounded on the South Wales Act, for his own and Thomas' delinquency, and got this certified by Parliament Commissioners there, by putting some of it, value 2,000l., into their hands.	123	170
	On these untrue informations, the case was dismissed, Eliot endeavouring to conceal the estate because he owed money to the delinquent testator, for which his lands had been extended. Beech begs re-examination, and security taken for the estate, as Richard says he will fly to France rather than the State shall be a penny better for it, and he hopes the King will soon have his own again, and then he will know his friends from his foes.
