312 The Wiltshire Compounders. 



been issued for his relief by the commissioners appointed to mediate 

 between the Church and the ancient tenants, yet Dr. Davenant 

 refuses to render any obedience thereto. Ordered by the House 

 that Mr. Hungerford, Mr. Ernie, and Mr. Daniell, three of the 

 Wilts members, endeavour to treat between the parties. Result 

 not stated. 



John Lowe, of Dinton, gent., was in arms against the Parliament, 

 but his name is not among the compounders. 



John Lord Lucas, of Crudwell. The manor of Crudwell, cum 

 Escott, £240 — the manor of Ewridge cum Yatton, £39 5s. 4d. — and 

 Eowleswick Farm, in the tenure of Mr. Arch, £46 13,?. 4^. These 

 were his Wiltshire estates, but he had others in Berks, Surrey, and 

 Essex. Fine on the whole, £590. 23rd November, 1650. 



Henry Manning, of Salisbury, gent. Adhered to the enemy 

 during the first and second wars ; he petitioned in December, 1650, 

 and says that he has never been sequestered. He is possessed of 

 two horses and a colt, worth fifteen pounds, and he has five pounds 

 in money. Fine, at a sixth, £3 6s. 8d. Several of the Mannings 

 of South Wilts were active in the King's cause. 



Sir William Master, of Cirencester, Knt., was at first so friendly 

 to the Parliament's cause that he maintained a horseman in arms 

 for their service. But Prince Rupert's raid on the town was such 

 a rude shock to his patriotism that he forthwith consented to act in 

 concert with the local collectors for the royal army. When all was 

 over, he took the Covenant in 1647, but prayed to be excused 

 travelling to London, as the passage was so dangerous. His fine 

 was £1483. In Wiltshire he merely held demesnes in the manor 

 of Ogbourn Meysey, a farm there called Hendies Hill, and the first 

 crop of certain hay-grounds at Latton Eysie and Cricklade, worth 

 altogether £126 per annum. 



Sir Giles Mompesson, of Sarum, Knt. His delinquency in 

 shown in his having left his habitation and gone into the King's 

 quarters, in whose service he was taken prisoner at the rendition of!
