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. 



John Windover, of New Sarum, gentleman. Was a captain in 

 arms against the Parliament, and commanded a company under the 

 Lord Hop ton. 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 o£ 

 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. 

 Fine, £39. 5th August, 1646. 



Edward Yerbury, 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 ol Wilts then lying under
