in £30 for his personal estate. He took the King’s Oath of Association, ob- 
served Friday’s fast, and was no preaching minister. 
10th December. Edmund Willis, of Sarum, a soldier in the King’s army, is 
fined £5, and gives security to appear at three days’ warning. Samuel Bell, of 
Sarum, tanner, kept the enemy’s guard at Sarum, being a soldier in the Com- 
mission of Array. He now pays £10 upon the Propositions. 
1lth December. Rowland Plott, of Tollard Royal, subscribes £10 upon the 
Propositions. [This gentleman figures largely in the pages of John Aubrey, 
who claims him as a cousin. Happening to be on board the same ship in which 
Lord Cottington, of Fonthill, was sailing to Spain to negociate the Spanish 
match, Plott by his personal accomplishments so attracted the ambassador’s 
. Notice that he was forthwith nominated his Gentleman of the Horse. In the 
Civil War, so soon after following in England, we find Plott first siding with 
his patron for the King, then subscribing for the Parliament, and finally pub- 
lishing his marriage banns in the Market Place of Salisbury. At the date of 
which we are now treating the report is as follows :—‘ Mr. Plott sat in the 
Salisbury Commission at the Illegal Assizes in 1643, but as it appears that he 
did it not out of malice, but carried himself very moderately, and did many good 
offices for the Parliament’s friends during the time he sat; and hath since 
suffered much by plunder and the loss of one of his arms, being wounded, and 
hath of late shewn himself very friendly to the Parliament’s forces by giving 
intelligence; and hath, moreover, taken the Covenant, and now gives £20 and 
three cases of pistols; which, considering his good services afterwards and his 
former sufferings, we think a considerable sum, we accept it in full discharge not 
only of his delinquency but of his twenty-fifth part.”] 
11th December. Mark Hancock subscribes upon the Propositions £10. 
15th December. Henry Colepepper, of Enford, clerk, hath taken the Cove- 
nant, and subscribed upon the Propositions five pounds. 
15th December. Concerning Sir Henry Clark, whose stock was seized on 
suspicion, it appearing by certificate from the Hampshire Committee that he is 
not a delinquent, but hath given them £300, and now my Lady Clark freely 
giving to the use of the Parliament the sum of £100, we waive the supposed 
delinquency and give a protection accordingly. 
16th December. John Selwood and Richard Hickes, tenants unto Sir Giles 
Mompesson for his farm at Deptford and his “ rowless thing” called Hurdles at 
Wiley, have agreed to pay for the use of the State their last Michaelmas half- 
year’s rent, viz., £18 for the farm and £3 for Hurdles; but in future 40 marks 
for the farm, without waste or spoil; John Selwood taking Hurdles at £8. 
[Rowlis, rowless, and rowlas, an epithet of frequent occurrence, probably means 
worn out or profitless.] 
16th December. The Lord Baltimore hath been before this Committee and 
compounded for the year until Michaelmas for the manor and demesne of Semley 
called Hook Farm and certain lands in Tisbury called Farnell’s and five other
