File NLW MS 9064E/2023. - Copy of an order by the Commissioners for Compounding, etc,

Upon reading an Order of the Trustees for the sale of the fee-farm rents, March 1, 1652, whereby it appears that Auditor Hugh Powell did, upon March 13, 1650, contract with the said Trustees for the fee-farm rent of All- Angels' Chapel near Braynford in Isleworth and Heston, Middlesex, of £16 0s 6d. per annum, which contract is since assigned to Edward Price, and the whole purchase money paid into the Treasury, March 24, 1650; it is therefore ordered that such part of the said rent under sequestration be forthwith discharged, and the said Edward Price be permitted to receive and enjoy the same without interruption, and that he be paid the half year's rent due March 25, 1651, and the Commissioners of Sequestrations are to deduct a due proportion of taxes out of such fee-farm rent and repay the purchaser, taking care that the Commonwealth does not pay a greater part than what is due. If the party out of whose estates the said rent is issuing be a recusant, then the Commonwealth is to pay only two- thirds and the recusant the other third. And if the party be a delinquent or Papist delinquent, the Commonwealth is to bear four parts of the said rent and the delinquent a fifth, deduction in taxes being made as above.
