[? July 23] Charles Bertie to the Auditor of the Receipt. Treasurer Danby has heard the difference between Alderman Backwell and Mr. Lindsey touching an order for 1,000l. on the fourth quarter of the subsidy and payable to said Backwell. His Lordship has determined that what money remains in the Exchequer upon that [the Subsidy] Act shall be applied and paid towards the discharge of said order, and that Mr. Lindsey shall bring into the Exchequer so much money as shall make up the said 1,000l. to discharge said order entirely which sum [when it has been so issued to him] said Backwell has promised to pay [back] in [to the Exchequer] upon the account of the Queen's portion.

Treasurer Danby to the Clerk of the Peace for co. Berks. The King has commanded that Exchequer process should issue for enquiry and seizure of two thirds the real estate of Recusants. In pursuance hereof process was heretofore issued into the several counties out of which returns of convictions were then made, upon which (through whose default is not yet known) little or nothing was done. It has therefore been thought fit not only to renew the commissions against all such as were then convicted, but also to add thereto such other convictions as have been since that time returned. The care of such conviction is by law in a great measure entrusted to you and I therefore send you herewith the commission for your county (not knowing to whom fitter to address it), together with the schedules and instructions, desiring you to give speedy notice thereof to the Commissioners within your county, and that you do to the utmost of your power forward and quicken the due execution and return thereof. Warrants Not Relating to Money VI. pp. 157-8.
