obedience of the Parliament long before lst December, 1645, he 
had a right to compound ata tenth. Neither was any allowance 
made for dower, dubitable lands, or judgments; all which were 
specified in his “ particular ” and allowed to others in the like case. 
—That soon after the setting of his fine, Sir James Thynne laid

to the Parliament as aforesaid. Since which time there hath been 
received out of his estate £3500 to the use of the Commonwealth, 
according: to certificates.
