search they were able to make, only the moiety of two tenements in 
Salisbury could be discovered as belonging to him, worth about £12 
per annum, which therefore they had sequestered. 
Joun Winvover, of New Sarum, gentleman. Was a captain in 
arms against the Parliament, and commanded a company under the 
Lord Hopton. He quitted the Royal army early in 1645, took the 
two oaths, and retired into private life. In his defence he relates 
how, in August, 1644, he was carried prisoner to Fallersdowne 
(Falstone) Castle, near Sarum, being then a garrison for the Parlia- 
ment, and continued there a prisoner until he gave bond unto the 
Wilts Committee there residing, with two sufficient sureties, in the 
sum of £1000, to appear before them at three days’ warning, and 
not to depart from his own house at Sarum without leave. After 
many requests made to them he obtained their permission to come up 
to London and compound. His messuages and houses in Salisbury 
are worth £10 per annum—lands at Stratford held for the term of 
his life, £30—goods to the value of £40. He got the committee 
sitting at Longford Castle, consisting of Alexander Thistlethwayte, 
Humphrey Ditton, Robert Good, and Richard Hill, to certify that 
his life estate was charged with an annuity of £15 to his sister, 
Katharine, and that this was her only maintenance. For this, 
therefore, an abatement was made of £14; but he asserts that no 
adequate allowance was made for his debts, which were very great.

Epwarp Yersury, of Trowbridge, gentleman. “He lived for 
awhile in the King’s quarters, and was in the commission to find 
the Parliaments’ friends delinquents and to sequestrate them as 
such,” But though he had allowed himself to be put thus promi- 
nently forward, he could at no time have been regarded as a thorough- 
going partisan, At the beginning of the war he advanced, as he 
himself confessed, £15 to the Parliament’s Proposition Fund; but 
this fact becoming known to the Royal party by a book of loans 
which they contrived to get hold of, they threatened to indict him 
at the Salisbury Assizes; and the county of Wilts then lying under
