Excerpt from Records of the Committees for Compounding, Etc; With Delinquent Royalists in Durham and Northumberland: During the Civil War, Etc;, 1643-1660 Resolutions, Ordinances, and Acts of Parliament relating to the sequestration of estates and to compounding for delinquencies during the Civil War, are fully recorded in the Journals of the House of Lords and in the more copious Journals of the House of Commons, published by the authority of Parliament in yearly volumes. Proceedings of Parliamentary and County Commissioners, to whom was entrusted the task of seizing, valuing, letting, and sometimes selling estates, or of compounding with the owners thereof, are preserved at the Public Record Office in London, and in the Cathedral Library at Durham. The Ms. at Durham is but a fragment; the MSS. in London extend to about 300 volumes. Two Calendars of the Record Office documents have been issued under the editorial supervision of Mrs. Mary Anne Everett Green - namely, a Calendar of the Proceedings of the Committee for Compounding, etc., 1643-1660, and a Calendar of the Proceedings of the Committee for the Advance of Money, 1642-1656. From these sources the present volume has been compiled. It comprises - 1. The Ms. at Durham, which consists of 80 pages (written in a small, neat hand), bound up in Vol. 22 of the Hunter MSS. It appears to be a contemporary transcript of original records relating to sequestrations in the county of Durham by Sir William Armyne, and other Parliamentary Commissioners, who held courts of confiscation in various parts of the county during the years 1644 and 1645. 2. Extracts from correspondence between the authorities in London and the Commissioners for Sequestrations in the counties of Durham and Northumberland, from 1645 to the Restoration of the Monarchy.
