of the enemies have been taken prisoners sallying out of Carli●● which are made commanders againe under our commanders and yet prisoners suffere● to lye in irons in Carlile for the Parliaments cause above one whole yeare and 〈◊〉 in a●ged 10. That some of the commanders doe give protection unto Delinquents and Sco●tish Papists which did betray the towne of Dumfre●e into the hands of those called the Black-band as Marquesse Mountrose and that company the same are protected which in Scotland were proclaimed Traitors these have free liberty to goe amongst 〈◊〉 to see the state of our country and to give the enemy intelligence whereby great d●●ger may ensue if not in due time prevented 11 That some of the chief commanders did before time under pretence to be for the Parliament breake and divide a certaine wel affected party that stood for the Parliament and with their assistance the Country was brought under the bondage of the Array working that by fraud which the rest of the Commissioners of Array could not doe by force who leaving the Country to the plunder fled to the enemy where they tooke the oath for the Earle of New-castle and made in that service Commissioners of Array and cruelly persecured those that were well affectted to the Parliament by imprisonment 12 That divers of the Delinquents are suffered to keep their armes 13 That small or little profit is like to be made of the Sequestrations by reason of the favour showne to the Delinquents many of which have had time to convey away their personall goods and the rest eyther not sequestred or at small rates valued or suffered to sell their goods after Sequestration 14 The said Committees for sequestrations or any officer for sequestrations have not taken the oath injoyned by Ordinance of Parliament upon them nor any presentment made by oath save such as is done by de●●●quent Justices 15 That malignant scandalus and de●●●●●ent Ministers and such as are non-preaching and maintainers of superstition and have been great urgers and abettors of the gentry and commons against the Parliament and such as cast aspersions upon the wel-affected pressing the booke of common-prayer are borne out and counte●●anced Some informations delivered by the Scottish Commissioners to both Houses of Parliament given to them by the two Commissioners of the wel affected of Westmerland and Cumberland sent hither to present Articles to the Honourable House of Commons THat many of the Commanders and members of the Committees who were in actuall Rebellion against the Parliament under the Earle of New-castle and did take the oath prescribed by him are still continued in their former ch●arge and imploiment That generally the gentry of those Counties are Papists Malignants and very disaffected to the Parliament That very little of the Sequestrations of Westmerland and Cumberland have been uplifted many of those to whom it is entrusted to put the Ordinances of Parliament in execution being themselves Delinquents That some of the Committee for Cumberland being desired to sequester the estates of Delinquents said they wished there were no Sequestrations at all and that they had warrant from the Commissioners of Parliament not to Sequester That if the Sequestrations had been duly up-lifted they would have maintained the Scottish forces that quartred in those two Counties and the Country no waies ho●●●●●n burthened That the reason of the Scottish forces imposing asseafements upon the Counties did proceed from the Malignity of the Committees who either refused or neglected their duty in assessing the Countrey and uplifting thereof and yet under hand stirred up the Commons to withstand the Scots taking up assessements That Sir Wilfride Lawson brother in law to Master Richard Barwis a member of the House of Commons and one of the Committee of both Kingdomes with the Scottish Army is a knowne Malignant was actually in Rebellion under the Earle of New-castle against the Parliament and continued in Armes till those Counties were reduced to the obedience of the Parliament and yet notwithstanding is now intrusted with the Command in chief of the Parliaments forces in those Counties and is also made High Sheriffe of Cumberland and one of the grand Committee for the Northerne Assosiation That Sir Wilfride Lawson with the assisstance of John Barwis Uncle to Master Barwis the Commissioner and William Briscoe cousin to Master Barwis have without consent of the rest of the Committee levied great summes of moneyes upon the Country distrained their goods and committed their persons to prison who refused it and have also raised great summes of money under pretence for the publique service which they doe still deraine in their owne hands That when the country people complained of Sir Wilfride Lawsons souldiers and condescended both upon the names of the persons and the goods neither the persons were punished nor the goods restored That Sir Wilfride Lawsons men had pay from the Country and yet tooke free quarter and stole horses whereof they would make no restitution That Colonell Cholmeley having desired Sir Wilfride Lawson to cause his soldiers to discharge their quarters with money they received as he did in his Divition Sir Wilfride Lawson wrote a bitter railing letter against him whereof Colo. Cholmeley sent the originall to the Commissioners of Parliament That Sir Wilfride Lawson did formerly and of late protect divers Papists and others declared Traytors by the Estates of Scotland That Sir Wilfride Lawson Major Thomas Barwis kinsman to Mr. Richard Barwis the commissioner and others his officers conveighed in victuals to the enemy in Carlile That the enemy falyed out strong and frequently upon the Scots and colonell Cholmeleys Quarters but kept faire correspondence with Sir Wilfride Lawsons Quarters That when they came out upon Sir Wilfride Lawsons Quarters sometimes the souldiers wanted powder and when they had powder they were discharged upon paine of death to shoot against the enemy though the enemy was much inferior in number That Thomas Barwis Major to Sir Wilfride Lawson when any of his owne souldiers were taken prisoners had them released at his pleasure and also released other souldiers that were taken prisoners for money That they are fully perswaded that the Towne of Carlile had been long since taken but for the correspondence and supplies given to the enemy by Sir Wilfride Lawsons forces and i● all probability those partes had been againe put under the Enemies power and the well affected in at had condition as formerly if the See as forces had been with drawne from Carlile That many of those forces that entred the South of Scotland called the Black band under the command of the late Earle of Mountrose are received and have command under the said Sir Wilfride Lawson That Thomas Lamplough was in Armes and actuall Rebellion against the Parliament and tooke the Oath prescribed by the Earle of New castle That the said Thomas Lamplough brother in law to Mr. Barwis the Commissioners is a savourer of Malignants and procured the releasement of
