Warrant from Treasurer Danby to the King's Remembrancer to
forbear further proceedings against Edward Backwell for the
debt seized into the King's hands on the extent awarded under
the Exchequer seal against Thomas Browne and John Browne
upon two bonds to the King : said extent being directed to the
Sheriff of Surrey, an inquisition was taken Jan. 27 last before
John Appleby, Sheriff of Surrey, whereby it is found that
Edward Backwell, by bond dated 1673, Sept. 14, is bound to
said Thomas Browne in 2,880l., conditioned for payment of
1,440l. after 14 days' notice, which bond the said Sheriff, by
virtue of said writ, seized into the King's hands, whereupon
process of scire facias has been awarded against said Backwell
to show cause why the King should not have execution against
him for said 2,880l. : the present stay to be by reason that said
Backwell has advanced several great sums of money for His
Majesty's service and that as the same still remain owing to
him at the Exchequer he is disabled from the speedy payment
of said debt.
