the doubt, as shown by the following letter, written seven years 
after by the newly-constructed county committee :— 
“Whereas we lately received from your Honours a list of divers. delinquents: 
who have formerly been fined, but you do not find have paid their fines—where- 
with also we received your order to summon such of them, mentioned in the list,. 
to appear before your Honours, to shew cause, &c. We certify that only three: 
of the list were ever of this county, viz., Mervin Touchet, of Compton Esq. 
William Thurman of the Devizes, gent. and Thomas Wanklyn of Westbury, 
gent. We have sent our agent to enquire into their estates and to summon 
them; and we find that Mervin Touchet is not resident in this land, nor hath 
estate real or personal in this county. And we find that William Thurman of 
the Devizes in the year 1648 was assessed at Haberdasher’s Hall at £200 for the 
twentieth part of his estate, and by an order of the committee for advance of 
money, dated 16th April, 1649, he was discharged of that assessment; it ap- 
pearing to that committee that he was no delinquent, as appears by an order 
under three of their hands produced to us. And we find that Thomas Wanklyn 
hath satisfied his fine and hath a full discharge for the same. Which is all at 
present, saving that still we are—your very humble seryants.

though his case is amply described, the final adjustment of his fine 
seems to be absent. 
Sir James Tuynye, of Longleat, Kt., and Str Henry FREDERICK 
Tuynne, of Cawse Castle, Bart. Touching the delinquency of Sir 
James Thynre; he was formerly a Member of Parliament, but
