Letter from Sir William Wliitmore to Lord Craven. There is a discovery made of £1,000 worth of the ' King's goods formerly taken out of Ludlow Castle. The writer thinks it may be a piece of seasonable service if his Lordship will procure an order for Colonel Moor, Governor of Ludlow Castle, or Captain Vincent Edwards, Deputy Governor, to seize the goods. (L. J., xi, 82.) 1660, July 16. Petition of Sir John Trevor, Colonel George Twisleton, and Andrew Ellis. Petitioners, taking notice of an order for hearing a cause depending between them and the Earl of Derby on Wednesday next, attended the Clerk for an order to summon witnesses, but were informed that he could not issue forth any orders for that purpose without direction of the House, by reason whereof petitioners are straitened in time, and cannot get their witnesses ready against that day; they therefore pray that a later day may be appointed, and that a letter of summons may be directed to the Countess Dowager of Derby, and an order for the attendance of the persons mentioned in the annexed paper, who are all material witnesses in the cause. (L. J., xi, 93.) Annexed: 1, list of witnesses; 2, petition of same. That such letters of summons may be issued as will induce the Countess Dowager of Derby and Lord Chief Baron Bridgman to appear at the hearing, and give evidence. 1660, July 16. Petition of divers lords, knights, and gentle¬ men of Cheshire and North Wales, on behalf of themselves and many others. Petitioners having been in August last in His Majesty's service in Cheshire, were at the then next ensuing quarter sessions, presented and indicted for high treason; which indictments still remain on record. They pray that the justices by whom they were presented, and the juries, may be disabled from bearing any office of trust, and be excepted from the general pardon. (L. J., xi, 94.)
