To the Honourable the House of COMMONS Assembled in PARLIAMENT The humble Answer of Nicholas Loftus Esq to the Petition of Christopher Syms HEE saith that there was such a Warrant as is set forth in the Petition directed to Sir Adam Loftus Knight then and now Treasurer at Wars for Ireland for the payment of 603 l. 13 s. 0 d. to part of the Train of Artillery belonging to the Army of 8000 Irish raised in the yeer 1640. then intended against the Scots of which summe there was no part thereof mentioned or intended to be due to the Petitioner who was onely then appointed a servant and Agent to receive there monies for them Upon which Warrant this Respondent being then Deputy to Sir Adam Loftus did at severall times pay unto the Petitioner and others for the said Train of Artillery and by directions of the Lords Justices and Councell of Ireland the summe of 500 l. or there-abouts for which the said Sir Adam Loftus hath severall Acquittances to produce unto whom this Respondent hath lately given up a full Accompt of all matters then committed to his trust and charge And as for the remain of the said Warrant neither could the said Sir Adam Loftus nor the Respondent his Deputy pay the same to the Train of Artillery as was intended as likewise divers other Warrants for great summes for want then of Monies in the Kings Exchequor the Treasure being so exhausted by the foresaid Irish Army and that Army being then to bee disbanded there wanted Monies for that purpose so that Sir Adam Loftus to prevent the dangerous consequence that might arise by those rude and barbarous Souldiers in their disbanding Did then ingage himself his eldest Son Sir Arthur Loftus and divers others of his Friends with this Respondent and took up great sums of Monies upon their credits to help to disband them with quietnesse which great sums his Majesty is to make satisfaction for hereafter and for which the said Sir Adam Loftus his Friends and this Respondent are still ingaged by reason the Rebellion there breaking out so suddenly there came in no part of the Kings Revenues of Ireland to discharge their foresaid ingagements nor many other great summes of Monies disbursed then and before for the King This Respondent further saith that upon payment of part of the foresaid summe of 603 l. 13 s. 0 d. to the Petitioner as is abovesaid he the said Petitioner did at that time deliver up the foresaid warrant to this Respondent being necessary so to doe that it might be produced before the Commissioners of Accompts to passe so much as this Respondent had truely paid thereof and no more which Warrant doth remain on Record in the Office of the Auditor-Generall of Ireland by which the whole truth of this Answer may fully appear And this Respondent doth beleeve that either himself or his Servant did then give the Petitioner a note in writing declaring what summes were then paid to the Petitioner on the foresaid Warrant and what did then rest unpaid thereof This Respondent also saith and is able to make it evidently for to appear by authentick Records that hee hath not passed any more of the said Warrant on his Accompts than truely and Re-vera he hath paid thereof and for which hee hath Acquittances to produce Nor hath this Respondent taken poundage for any more of the said Warrant then hee hath truely paid and passed in his Accompts as of right hee ought to doe and which was just and lawfull for him to take neither did this Respondent ever desire or intend or if he were willing so to doe was it in his power to make use advantage or profit of the remain of the foresaid Warrant which rests yet unpaid as is suggested by the Petitioner And further this Respondent saith that if the Petitioner have any such Certificate from the Clerk of the Pells as hee alledgeth hee hath it is apparently false or the Clerk is therein very much mistaken for that the Petitioner alledgeth his Certificate to bee made about foure or five years since in July 1641. at which time the foresaid Warrant was not past on any Accompt untill May last 1646. Since which time the Petitioner cannot say that hee had any Certificate thereof from the Clerk of the Pells And therefore this Respondent humbly prayeth that hee may bee dismissed with such reparations as this Honourable House shall think fit NICHOLAS LOFTVS Printed at London by John De●● Robert Ibbitson 1646.
