Communicated by Mr. James Waylen, 87 
Crown; which rent being unpaid the executors of Bickers have 
made their re-entry and avoided the re-demise, and the whole 
principal debt of £1700 remains unpaid. The manor of Kingsbury, 
in Somerset, yielding £20 in old rents, is mortgaged to Frances, 
daughter of Sir John Weld, in consideration of £3000 debt and 
interest, but no part being paid the mortgagee is in possession by 
order of the Committee of Lords and Commons for Sequestrations, 
The manor of West Pennard, in Somerset, worth in old rents £20 
a year, is mortgaged to Dudley, Lord North, in trust for the Lady 
Dacre, in consideration of £5000 debt and interest, which being 
wholly unpaid the mortgagee is here also in possession. The castle 
of Newark and lands at Newark, Stoke, and Avesham, in Notts, 
worth annually £240, are mortgaged to Lady Katharine Gargrave, 
in consideration of £2060, but no part thereof being paid the 
mortgagees are in possession. His five water corn-mills and two 
fulling mills, at Newark, yielding £90 per annum, are mortgaged 
to Sir Edward Powell for £500, which being unpaid Sir Edward 
Powell hath entered. The customs of Carlyle, yielding annually 
[a blank] ave mortgaged to Sir Theobald Gorges in consideration of 
£2000 with proviso to be void on payment, but no part is paid and 
the said customs are now of no value. He formerly held a lease 
from the Crown of the post-fines at a rent of £2272 8s., then of 
much greater value than this rent, but now, having been long out 
of possession and the Court of Wards being down, he knows not 
what it yields, but he desires a reserved liberty to compound for the 
same when its value shall be ascertained. He had also a pension 
from the Crown of £1000 a year out of the Tin farm, but has 
received nothing these many years. He is indebted to several 
‘persons at least £20,000, and his tenants have paid for the Par- 
liament’s service fully £3300 to re-imburse which will take at least 
three years. (He had formerly received £200 a year for keeping 
the King’s mares and foals, but this form of emolument, having 
‘shared in the ruin of his royal master, eould not now be scored 
against him.) 
A letter from Sir Thomas Fairfax was put in, acknowledging 
that the Earl’s house at St. James’s had sustained so much damage
