THat the Honourable House of Commons were pleased in August 1646. to order that the sum of five thousand pounds should be raised by the said County for disbanding of the Derby shire forces , which said moneys were to be repaid out of the Compositions of Delinquents estates in the said County ; That 3981 l. 10s . part of the said 5000 l. was repaid according to the said order to Sir John Curson and Sir John Cook by the Treasurers at Gold-Smiths Hall , and the remaining sum being 1018. 10 s. transferred to be paid out of Deans and Chapters Lands , But afterwards in September 1650. It was ordered that the said 1018 l. 10 s. should be paid out of Delinquents estates which shall be sold .

Now because the petitioners are many of them very poor men , and have been long out of their moneys and are not able to subsist without present payment thereof , having been at great charge , and spent much money in attending to get satisfaction of the moneys remaining due to them , and which was advanced by the order and for the service of the Parliament , and for which many of them have paid interest ever since the borrowing thereof .

They humbly pray your Honours to commiserate their sad Condition , and that you will be pleased to give order that payment of the said sum of 1018 l. 10 s. may be made unto them by some of your Treasurers for Delinquents estates for Compositions .

And they shall pray &c.
