	The Treasury Lords to the Earl of Northampton. The King has been pleased to be present at the Treasury to hear the depositions upon the return of the Commission lately executed in Whittlewood and Salcey Forests, and being thereby very sensible of the injuries done to his woods there was pleased to advise with the Attorney General as to the way of prosecuting the offenders; and finding them to be inferior officers acting under your Lordship's authority, and that consequently your Lordship alone is to be answerable to the King for any abuses committed by them, it is his Majesty's pleasure that you forthwith dismiss Mr. Kingston and Mr. Newton as men criminal in their trusts. Without your ready compliance herewith the King will be forced to take that course which the law has provided for the preservation of his woods.	Ibid, p. 94.
