ROYALIST COMPOSITION PAPERS.

[See Calendar of the Committee for Compounding by Mrs. Everett Green.]

William Baron Craven of Hampsted Marshall Berks

30 Jan. 1647-8. Begs to compound for his inheritance of Hinton Grange co. Somerset purchased and held by a demise to expire 9 Jul. 1649 by Cicely Countess Dowager of Rutland, of which were sequestered for her recusancy.

6 Mar. 1650-1. Order in Parliament that his estates be confiscated he being an offender according to the declaration of 24 Aug. 1649 that all who have served Parliament and betrayed their trust or who adhere to Charles Stuart son of the late King are rebels.

11 Mar. His estates seized and sequestered.18

Aug. 1653. He petitions Parliament. By its consent went beyond seas before the war began and has been out of England ever since and never acted in any war against Parliament. Upon a debate touching putting his estate into a Bill of Sale it was twice voted in the negative by the late Parliament and at length carried in the affirmative by 3 voices at the most, there being only 47 present. His estate was accordingly sold and a great part thereof purchased by the members who voted its sale. Could not obtain a hearing from the late Parliament against the Bill. Since that time the only witness upon whose testimony

18 A very late date, which makes it quite clear that he was not an active partisan in the Civil War.

he was held guilty has been convicted of perjury for that deposition. Begs repeal of the vote and Act so far as it concerns him.

11 Feb. 1653-4. Petitions the Protector. By reason of business of greater consequence to the public his case was not reported to the House before the dissolution. His personal estate is not declared to be forfeit by any Act of Parliament yet on a bare vote the greater part thereof has been seized and much thereof sold and by colour thereof a personal estate of his brother, which petitioner held as administrator has been disposed of. Begs discharge of sequestration upon personal estate and liberty to dispose thereof for his present subsistence and free disposal of his brother's estate :

Referred to Committee at Haberdashers Hall to report.

8 Sept. Further sale of his estate stayed by order of the Protector in council.

Among the claimants on the estate

22 Jul. 1651. Sir William Craven begs allowance of his claim to household goods in Combe house co. Warwick sequestered as belonging to William Lord Craven and that on security given the sale may be forborne.

4 Feb. 1651-2. Anthony Craven begs examination of his title to an annuity of £200 on Combe Abbey granted to him by William Lord. Craven in 1650 but which he cannot receive because the estate has since been sequestered. [G. 78, 203]

17 Mar. The witnesses to the deed being all in Holland, begs a commission for their examination there, and receipt of his annuity meantime on security. [G. 78, 202]

17 Mar. Allowed it for three months on security if he can prove that he received it till the sequestration. [G. 16, 151]

13 Mar. 1654-5. Anthony Craven of London petitions that Lady Mary Talbot sold him 7 Nov. 1654 for £4,500 her annuity of £2,000 on manors in cos. Worc. Wilts, Chester, Derby and Salop, for 60 years or her life on rent of £1,000 but on 3 Dec. of it was sequestered for her recusancy. Begs discharge, the purchase being made before the sequestration. [G. 78, 270, 412]

27 Jul. Reading and Brereton are fully to instruct themselves in the case and it will be heard the first Thursday after the adjournment. [G. 28, 22]

[Other references are G. 78, 403, 411, 414, 416, 418, 423.]
