1666.J OF THE MARQUIS OF WORCESTER. 289 



Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, that 

 the Duke of Albemarle, the Lord Chamberlain of his 

 Majesty s Household, the Earl of Anglesey, the Lord 

 Arundell of Warder, and the Lord Howard of Charlton, 

 be appointed a Committee to wait on his Majesty and 

 represent unto him the sad condition of the said Mar 

 quis and his Lady.

From the Marchioness petition we obtain a further

 Marquis was placed, even seven years after the Bestora-

 and by the way of loans from friends, from secured 

 money-lenders, and for assigned portions of interest 

 in the profits to arise from working his &quot; Water-com 

 manding Engine.&quot; 



In a report made to the Duchy of Cornwall* (although 

 two years later) full particulars are furnished of the 

 nature and extent of the property in which the 

 Marquis was interested, as stated in his preceding 

 petition. The Surveyors General say : &quot; Foxhall 

 house is parcel of the manor of Kennington and 

 Duchy of Cornwall, and the use thereof was lately 

 allowed by his Majesty unto Mr. Jaspar Calthoff, who 

 was employed in the making of guns and divers engines 

 and works for his Majesty s service, since whose death 

 part thereof hath been granted by his Majesty to Peter 

 Jacobson (the said Jaspar Calthoff s son-in-law) for his 

 life, and the residue is enjoyed by this Petitioner (widow 

 of the said Jaspar) in favour of her said late husband s
