June, 1647, when Charles was removed from Holmby. 

 He rode that day as far as Hichinbrook House, and 

 afterwards proceeded to Childerley,* near Cambridge. 

 The Earl of Leicester crives the followino' version 

 of the king's removal from Holmby to Newmarket, 

 June 4, 1647: — "On Tluirsday, at night 

 the 3d of June, Joyce came to the bed- 

 chamber doore, the King being in bed, and told some 

 of the wayters, that the King must presently be gone ; 

 they told him that the King was layd to rest, and 

 desired him not to disquiet his Majestye. He an- 

 swered, that he had orders to remove the King, and 

 that therefore he must go in. The King, hearing a 

 noyse, rose out of his bed, putt on his breeches, came 

 to the doore, and asked what the matter was. The 

 doore bing opened, Joyce went in and desyred the 

 King to make himself ready to remove. The King 

 sayd, he was there by the order of Parlement, & 

 would not remove ; requiring Joyce also to tell him 

 what warrant he had. Joyce replied, that he had his 

 warrant in his sword, and that he would answer what 

 he did ; and told the King, that his Majestye must go 

 betimes in the morning. So there being no remedy, 

 the King went with them, who brought him to New-

 Hore. John Hore, Esq. ; who was Sheriff of this County and Hiotting- 

 donshire, 4 Henry VI., and Member of Parliament for Cambridgeshire 

 3 Henry VI. resided here. From this Family the Lordship came to the 

 Cuifs, who have had a Seat here a long Time : for Sir Johti Cutis was 

 Sheriff 3 Henry VI H. whose Descendant Joh7i Cutis Esqr ; was created 

 Baronet June 21, 1660. The late Lord Cutis, Baron of Gowrajt in 

 Ireland, and one of the Justices of that Kingdom, was a collateral Branch 

 of this Family, and possessed the Estate here, but sold it." — Camden,
