Goods c. to the value of 4000 l. besides the loss of Offices then in his guift disposed of to Pennington of as great a value He borrowed 500 l. of Mr. William Chamberlaine and Mr. Pettit upon the Security and Assignment to them of the said 500 l. deposited in the Chamber of London 10 Septem 1642. He being in the Tower 3 Decemb. 1642. was Assest 1000 l. for his Twenty fifth part which he not paying his Estate was Sequestred by order of Haberdashers-Hall in Feb. following and so continued till November 1647. Besides his Imprisonment 19 April 1644. and the 1000 l. assessed by Haberdashers-Hall the Committee of Goldsmiths-Hall issued out Warrants to several Counties to restrain his Rents upon pretence of 5000 l. also assest on him by the House of Commons Sir Richard Gurney Petitioning to the Commons they sent Mr. Ash to him to know whether he would pay the 5000 l. and he should be freed of Imprisonment and Sequestration Sir Richard paid the 1000 l. to Haberdashers-Hall 15 April 1645. and had orders for discharging his Sequestration Mr. Ash reports to the Commons 2 March 1645. that Sir Richard Gurney obstinately refused to pay the said 5000 l. whereupon The Commons ordered the levying it upon his Estate 4 March 1645. The power of Haberdashers-Hall and Goldsmiths-Hall as to freeing his Estate of Sequestration held in debate till April 1647. before he could get free of Sequestration Apr. 1647. Sir Richard Gurney died a Prisoner of the Tower of London 3 October 1647. His Executors Thomas Lord Richardson Nov. 1647. 1647. 1648. 1649. and Sir John Pettus Knight in right of their Wives Coheirs to Sir Richard Gurney proved his Will and by vertue thereof and Deeds of Settlement made in June 1641 his Trustees and Executors were so Industrious that before the end of the year 1649 they sold and disposed of all his real Estate and with the money paid great debts which Sir Richard owed before and had contracted during his more than five years Imprisonment and thereby they thought to have enjoyed the Personal Estate in quiet so as they did not think it safe or prudent to stir in this 500 l. or any other of his personal Estate as conceiving the personal Securities were not so visible as the real Estate The Executors divided the Personal Estate under Hand and Seal 24 Decem. 1650. whereby this 500 l. and the Interest fell to Sir John Pettus his share and upon the Accompt thereof did pay several considerable debts the other assign'd debts proving of little benefit to him But the Executors having as yet no discharge of the said 5000 l. although there was a Cessation did not think fit to stir in this and according to their fears so it happened For The Commons did order the Commissioners of Goldsmiths-Hall 3 Novemb. 1652. forthwith to levy the same for the use of the Admiralty Thereupon the Commissioners ordered the Executors to pay it within seven days 4 Novemb. 1652. or they would proceed to levy it and notwithstanding all their applications 25 January 1652. Letters were sent from those Commissioners into every County where Sir Richard had any real or personal Estate to Sequester it sold or unsold accordingly every particular purchasor of his real Estate in and about London were summoned viz. Sir John Frederick c. to the value of 10000 l. and they did appear but the Executors seeing after a long defence for themselves that the Committee was resolved to levy it upon the Purchasors and the Executors being sensible that the Purchasors had purchased the Lands without any Covenant from the Executors against any Act of Sir Richards the Executors were so just that they in discharge of the Purchasors freely offered that they would pay the 5000 l. rather than the Purchasors should suffer and not only so but paid their charges and gave them a good Dinner besides of which generous dealing the Commissioners were so sensible that they allowed to the Executors some further time of Appeal to the House of Commons but the time being elapsed and the Commissioners pressing for the mony one of the Executors viz. the Lord Richardson gave Bond for the payment of 2500 l. but Sir John Pettus the other Executor proffering his Interest for the satisfaction of the other 2500 l. the Commissioners refused whereupon he suffered himself to be Sequestred about two years before he could get his discharge whilst the Executors were thus transacting about his real and personal Estate several of the Debtors to Sir Richard Gurney did apply themselves to the Executors offering that if the Executors would make such abatements as they proposed they would pay the Executors if not they would discover the same to the Commissioners so that the Executors did abate at least 3000 l. rather than have their debts discovered Amongst the rest of the Discoverers April 53. two Aldermen whereof one is now living informed the Commissioners of this 500 l. in the Chamber of London due to Sir Richard whereupon orders were issued to the Chamber to pay in the money which the Court was ready to obey but the aforesaid Assignment to Mr. William Chamberlaine and Mr. Pettit being not cancelled it was produced and proved without taking notice of the Reassignment of it to Sir Richard Gurneys Executors
