THE Deplorable CASE OF THE Officers , Inn-keepers , and Clothiers , that Served in , Quartered , and Cloathed the Army raised by an Act of Parliament , in 1677. and Disbanded by another Act , in 1679.

THAT the said Army being Raised to enter into an actual War against the French King ; several of the said Persons , upon the Credit of the Act of Parliament , in the Year 1677 , did furnish the same with Clothes , Utensils of War , Quarters , and other Necessaries , amounting to a very considerable Summ ; not doubting but to receive full Satisfaction for the same , having their Credit built upon so Sacred a Security , as that of an Act of Parliament .

That it so happened , That the said Act , For Granting a Supply to His then Majesty , for Paying off , and Disbanding the said Forces , fell short of answering the End for which it was given : For that the said Army being employed to suppress the Rebellion at Bothwell-Bridge , were kept longer in Pay than the time by the said Act directed ; by Reason whereof , divers of the said Persons for want of their Money , ( not being able to make good their Credit they obtained to supply the said Army ) were forced into several Prisons of this Kingdom , where some died , and others still remain ; and others were necessitated to abscond from their Families , and the rest have sustained great and apparent Damages thereby .

That they have often Address'd this Honourable House by Petitions , for Relief in their Misery , and your Honours have as often been pleased ( which they gratefully acknowledge ) to make Orders thereon of References to Committees : And those Committees several times , viz. The 16th . of July , 1689 the 15th . of May , and the 25th . of November , 1690 , Reported to your Honours the State of your Petitioners Debts , viz.

That the Act , For Granting a Supply to His then Majesty King Charles the Second , of Two Hundred and Six Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Two Pound Seventeen Shillings and Three Pence , for Paying off and Disbanding the Forces raised since the 29th . of September , 1677. fell short of answering the End for which it was given , Principal Money Sixty One Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty Six Pound Three Shillings and Eleven Pence , besides Interest for the same , as the said Act directs : And that the said Sixty One Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty Six Pound Three Shillings and Eleven Pence is due for Quarters , Clothes , Accoutrements , &c. as appeared by Certificates , signed by the then Commissioners for Disbanding the Army , and Orders of the then Lords of the Treasury thereupon directed to the Exchequer , where they are Registred ; as likewise appeared by the Auditor , Sir Robert Howard's Certificate thereof .

That upon the making of this , and such like Reports to the House , the House was as often pleased to Resolve to go into Committees of the whole House , to consider of Ways and Means for raising the Supply granted for the Payment of the said Debt , as by the several Entries in the Journals of this Honourable House will more fully appear : But approaching Prorogation , together with the then Necessities of the War , prevented your Compassionate and Just Intentions of giving them Relief .

Wherefore , and in Regard the said Debt was contracted under the Credit of Acts of Parliament , It is humbly prayed . That your Honours will admit them into your Compassion and Justice , that their Case may be Considered and Relieved . Hoping your Honours ( who are the Representatives of this Nation ) will believe , That the satisfying this so just a National and Parliamentary Debt , will not only much redound to the Honour and Justice of this House , but will also increase the Credit of His Majesty's Exchequer upon the like , or any other Occasion .
