Petition (name of the petitioner Roger Mostyn of Mostyn, esq., crossed out) against the action of the commissioners for securing the peace of the Commonwealth in the six counties of North Wales in taxing the petitioner in a tenth part of his estate in spite of his protest that since his composition with Parliament in 1646 he has lived peaceably and not acted against the Commonwealth. Unsigned certificate follows testifying to petitioner's integrity by petitioner's neighbours.
A long letter giving legal opinion. He has read the enclosed injunction and finds that it extends not only to the quiet possession of the complainants but also of their tenants, which is very unusual and indeed contrary to the rules of Chancery published by Lords Whitlock and Keeble, which rules are not contradicted by the late ordinance for the regulating of the Chancery. But these lands, he perceives, are not in question: the only thing in question is the mountains concerning which Owen makes a query - whether that being open at the time of the bill exhibited and not three years enclosed, Owen may not interrupt the complainants' tenants from enclosing? The writer thinks he may, for the injunction does not extend to give any other possession than they had at the time the bill was exhibited and three years before, which possession of theirs was not in severalty at either of those times .
Certificate discharging William Owen of Porkington who on his personal appearance before them showed that he had no estate real or personal in Shropshire.

As commissioners, etc., (see Nos. 674 and 675) they summon Sir John Owen to appear before them at the house of Arthur Spencer at Conwy on 16th January next by 10 o'clock in the morning, and to bring with him particulars of his estate real and personal, etc.

Discharge of Sir John Owen on parole. They are desired in the name of the Lord Protector to suffer Sir John to pass to his own house there to abide quietly and to go about his lawful occasions without any let or molestation.
The little gentleman at Chancery Lane end and the writer yesterday renewed their address to Lord Strickland upon the letter and petition formerly delivered him touching Owen's enlargement - having indeed before heard of some inclination in the Protector to relieve some persons in restraint. They found Lord Strickland very civil, and he told them that he had already moved the Lord Protector on Owen's behalf and found him propense to favour him. But Lord Strickland had not received his positive answer as yet but would suddenly do it. He told them to stay at the Council door, 'my Lord being then within and asleep', till he came out, and after a little stay he brought them his Lordship's answer that Owen was to be discharged. Accordingly he went with them to Mr Malyn, his Lordship's secretary, and gave him Owen's petition and directed him to draw up a letter to Colonel Croxon, which his Lordship would sign, that Owen might be forth-with discharged and that without any other terms than upon parole and that Owen should live peaceably and be forthcoming if there were cause. His Lordship's letter cannot be signed before Monday because he goes out of town today and returns then. 'You may please not to forget my Lord Strickland's civilities, which I and your little gentleman were eye witnesses of. If you please to write him a letter of thanks, I think it may not be disadvantageous to you. Ingratum si dixeris omnia dixeris.' Owen's discharge, God willing, will be sent him by the next post with care. 'The little gentleman says you may send for your horses and hawks by that time your discharge comes to you and he says your partridges will be afraid of your release. Sir, there is some expectation of the release of many others suddenly but whether of all or not we cannot tell'.
Be pleased to understand how the business between Sir John and Mr Holden stands. About eight years ago Sir John and Mr William Owen were outlawed at Holden's suit upon a bond of £400 for the payment of £200. Two years since, when Mr Owen Wynne was sheriff, an outlawry was delivered to the deputy-sheriff by an agent of Holden's. By inquisition it was found that Sir John was seised of lands to the value of £100 to £200. Since which time Ellis Hughes, the under-sheriff, was prevailed upon not to file the inquisition until last Hilary term. Meantime William Owen preferred a bill in Chancery against Holden, and doing little good thereupon Holden has now transmitted the outlawry and inquisition to the Exchequer and has got a levari facias directed to the Sheriff of Caernarvon to levy all the cattle on the ground before found. Owen's counsel has advised him not to stir in it until the beginning of next term. All their opponents will do now should be easily overthrown. Thinks that if the sheriff were not 'our' friend the cattle should be put out of the way for a time. Holden's agents have another bond of the penalty of £1000 for the payment of £500 which they intend to put in suit against Sir John at the next Caernarvonshire Sessions. All the witnesses to the bond are dead and they will never be able to prove it. 'In the interim make under-sheeriffe your friend and you shall not need feare any disturbance of your or your tenants' cattle'.
