sufficiently attested. That his influence was considerable may be 
inferred from the fact that the Wilts Committee thought it 
necessary to send a troop of horse to Bradford, who carried him to 
Malmesbury, where £160 was demanded as the penalty of his

He is seised to him and his heirs of a manor in Bradford, the old 
rents whereof are £18 2s. Tne demesnes and woods and water 
mill there were valued before the troubles at £120 per annum. A 
like estate in the manor of Trowle, old rents, £20 9s.2d. A like 
estate of houses and tenements in Bath, £37 11s.9d. He craves 
allowance in respect of £60 for two annuities payable to his brothers, 
John and William, by the will of their father, John Hall, deceased 
in 1680; also of £300, payable to his sister Anne, on the day of 
her marriage; also of £40, the unpaid remainder of a like portion 
to his sister Dorothy. Also of £4 5s.4d., reserved rent to the 
Marquis of Winchester for the manor lands and mill in Bradford 
aforesaid. Also of £1 18s. 8d. yearly paid to the Crown for tenths 
for the said lands and tenements in Bradford and Bath. He is 
indebted upon several bonds above £800. Fine, at a sixth, £660.
