many years cruel close Imprisonment He then petitioned the House of Commons for Reparations They refer'd his Petition to a Committee Witnesses were examined and after a full Hearing of his Cause in the House of Commons it was there Resolved upon the Question That all the Proceedings of the High Commission Court Star-Chamber and Council Board in Sentencing Excommunicating Suspending from the practise of Physick Fining Pilloring Cutting off the Ears Close Imprisoning and Banishing of your Petitioners Husband were contrary to the Law and the Liberty of the Subject and that all those who had so unjustly sentenced him should make him satisfaction for his Sufferings and Damages sustained thereby That troubles coming suddenly upon this Nation the Lords and Commons Ordered no private business for a time should be heard and that Order being often renewed put a stop to the begun Justice in his Cause That your Petitioners Husband being then imploy'd in special Service by the Parliament was taken Prisoner and for full two years and four months kept close Prisoner in Dungeons and loathsom places for his fidelity to the Parliament which hindered the further prosecuting of his Petition but when by way of Exchange he had obtained his Liberty his Cause was presented unto the House of Lords where it had also a full and deliberate Hearing and his shameful Sufferings which were so cruelly executed that thereby he lost the hearing of one Ear irrecoverably his cruel close Imprisonment Banishment great Losses in his Estate being necessitated to sell his Land which was your Petitioners Joynture besides the loss of his practise in Physick which before his troubles was very great were by sufficient Witnesses sworn and examined fully proved The Lords Ordered That the several Sentences and Proceedings against your Petitioners Husband should be for ever totally vacated obliterated and taken off the File in all Courts where they were remaining as being illegal most unjust and against the Liberty of the Subject the Law of the Land and Magna Charta and unfit to continue upon Record That the Lords gave Judgment That your Petitioners Husband should have four thousand pounds paid him by way of Damages They appointed a Committee to consider how to raise the four thousand pounds That it was Ordered by the Lords your Petitioners Husband should by the advice of his Councel Learned bring in an Ordinance to be passed both Houses of Parliament That the four thousand pounds assigned him by that House may be raised out of the Estates real and personal of the Duke of Lenox the Earl of Dorset the Lord Cottington and Sir Francis Windebank An Ordinance was presented passed in the House of Lords and from them sent by their own Messengers unto the House of Commons where it lay Dormant a long time but at length it was there read the first and second time and the House of Commons in the Debate thereof considering that your Petitioners Husband and his whole Family were utterly ruined by the foresaid unjust and cruel Sentences refer'd it to a Committee to proceed upon that Ordinance sent from the Lords with Amendments and Additions of Names for the raising his Reparations out of the Estates of all those which that House had formerly voted ought to give him Damages That Committee met They proceeded upon and perfected that Ordinance and in their Amendments it was Ordered and Ordained by the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament That for increase of Reparations your Petitioners Husband should have five thousand pounds paid unto him and to be raised out of the Estates of Dr Juxon James Duke of Linox James Marquess Hambleton Philip Earl of Pembrook Henry Earl of Holland Edward Earl of Dorset John Earl of Bridgwater Francis Lord Cottington Sir Henry Vane the elder Knight Sir Nathaniel Brent Knight Sir John Bramston Knight Sir John Finch Knight or out of the Estates of any one of them as in that Ordinance it doth more fully appear That Colonel Rigby Chairman to that Committee was appointed to make the Report and to present that Ordinance with the Amendments and Additions of Names to the House of Commons but in the interim he was made a Judg and as he said could not sit in the House except they called him in to sit amongst Them yet he earnestly desired some others of that Committee to make the Report and present the Ordinance and for that end when he was to ride the Circuit he delivered unto your Petitioners Husband all his Orders and the foresaid Ordinance of the Lords and Commons as it was agreed upon and wrote with his own hands in the Committee promising if it were not presented by some other that when he returned he would adventure to go into the House of Commons to present that Ordinance unto them but soon after his return from the Circuit he departed this life others promised fair but delayed the performance in so much as that Parliament was dissolv'd before the full consummation of our Sute was obtained and our Ordinance then lay as dead until the Sessions of the last Parliament to whom your Petitioners Husband presented his Grievances The Committee appointed by that Parliament for Petitions took special Cognizance of his Cause and they unanimously agreed that he ought to have five thousand pounds Damages paid unto him out of the Estates of all those or any one of those which the former Parliament in their Votes and that Ordinance of the Lords and Commons with the Amendments and Additions of Names had Ordered and Ordained should give him Reparations They Ordered that Alderman Ireton should report their Result but before he could make the Report that Parliament was also dissolved That your Petitioners Husband then made his Addresses unto his Highness the Lord Protector who held it most just that he should
