uppon the sale of the said manors, parkes and premeses it pleased

and alsoe out of the rents and profits of the estates of delinquents
under sequestration. But the Parlament rising befor the report
could be made, noe satisfaction hath hitherto bene made to your
peticoner, although all others that have had the like interest have
had and received satisfaction for the same. Your peticoner
therefore humbly prays your consideration of the premeses and to
order a speedy payment of the said money, it having bene often
examined and allowed and these many yeares forborne in order
to the service of this Com. Wealth. Delivered and read in the
Parliament 10 Dec. 1656." Draft. Unsigned. ¾ p. (General 15/18.) |
