now turn to the affairs of Sir John Danvers. 
In June, 1649, it was propounded to the House that whereas Sir 
John Danvers, in consequence of his affection and adherence to the 
Parliament, had been deprived of the estate of inheritance which 
would have descended to him as heir to his brother, the Earl of 
Danby, at the common law, by the will of the said Earl, dated 19th 
December, 1640, and published in November, 1643—the case of 
Sir John Danvers should now be referred to the Committee to whom 
the counter claims of the Lady Katharine Gargrave, sister and co- 
heir of Earl Danby, had also been addressed, and their opinion be 
desired as to what was fitting to be done for the relief and satisfaction 
of Sir John Danvers. In October following it was voted that the 
sum for which the Danby estate was compounded for by Lady 
Gargrave should be presented to Sir John, and that he should have 
the benefit of so much of his brother’s proper estate, both real and 
personal, as was sequestrable until the same were compounded for, 
To gratify him still further it was ordered that in the winding up 
of the Marquis of Winchester’s affairs a security in which Danvers 
was bound in the Marquis’s behalf to pay £500 to Mr. George 
' Phipp should be annulled, and the burden fall on the Marquis’s 
estate. 
Under these circumstances Sir John’s “ particular” exhibited the 
following items :—old rents, parcel of the manors of Morgans and 
Milbourne’s Court, in Chittern All Saints and Chittern St. Mary, 
worth per annum £37 7s.; lands called “ Jea” in Chittern and 
Lavington, £80 a year; tenements there, £2 4s. He holds also a 
“ George and Garter,” the property of the late Earl, valued at £350. 
He prays that he may be allowed £500, chargeable on the lands at 
Chittern unto one Mrs. Flower for her thirds in the said lands, also 
the perpetuity of £50 per annum charged by the late Earl on the 
same lands to pay the almsfolk and schoolmaster of Dauntesey for
