THe Parliament by an Ordinance of Novemb. 24. 1642. enabled Ferdinando Lord Fairfax , to receive Money , Plate , Horse , and Armes upon the Propositions , for which the Publique Faith was to be engaged . Col. Gill upon that Ordinance lent Ferdinando Lord Fairfax 60. li. upon the Publique Faith , and raised a Troop of Horse compleatly armed with Swords , Pistolls , Back , Breast , and Pot , wherein he disbursed 600. livre. a great part of which Monies he borrowed upon Interest . Col. Gill served under the command of the Lord Fairfax as Captain , and Major of Horse , untill his Arrears amounted unto 1657. li. 16 . s . 3.d . The Parliament by Ordinance of the 22 May , 1647. provides for the payment of one third of the Arreares of the Northerne Officers , to be accepted by them for the whole in full satisfaction . Col. Gill one of those Officers , his Accompts being audited , and so stated , that the 600. li. . advanced by him in Horse and Arms upon the Publique Faith , was accompted amongst his Arrears , was then in a straight , conceiving that the Parliament intended not to give one third in full for his Money lent , yet being in necessity for monies by reason of his losses in serving the Parliament , was willing to accept of one third in full for his Arrears , and to receive one third of his 600. li. . lent , but not for satisfaction ; therefore upon the 27 of May , before he took an Assignement for any money , five dayes after the said Ordinance passed , he petitioned the Committee of the Northern Association , shewing that he could not accept of one third for the whole of his 600. li. . lent , and that the Ordinance mentioned only Arrears , and desired that his Case , with his losses and sufferings , might be represented to the Parliament ; the Committee ordered , That his Petition should be reported to the Parliament . Thereupon Col. Gill received his Petition and Accompts from the Clerke of the Committee ( as appeares by a Note of the Clerks hand ) and put them into the hands of Mr. Bryan Stapleton to report to the Parliament , as he hath already testified . After two years expectation of reparations for his losses and sufferings , and the 400. li. . the remaining two thirds of his 600. li. . lent money , the Act of Parliament passed for doubling upon Deans and Chapters Lands , and Col. Gill was advised , and did beleeve , that without offence he might double the money that he had lent upon the Publique Faith , and he did double the 400. li. . ( the two remaining thirds of the 600. li. . lent in Horses and Armes ) which with the Interest allowed , amounted to 600. li. NOw if any conceives that Col. Gill hath gained by the Common-wealths Service in receiving one third of his Arreares , and Troop , and doubling two thirds of his 600 li. . lent in Horses and Armes with Interest , hee humbly offers the abovesaid Accompt , That by his receiving one third of his Arreares and Troop , ( whereof he lost 387 livre. ) by the Parliaments transferring the same from the Excise to Deans and Chapters Lands , and by his doubling the two thirds of his Troop , and Interest for the same , he never yet received in money his 660 li. lent upon the Publique Faith . Col. Gill humbly craves your favour to consider , That he hath been a constant sufferer for the Parliament from the beginning of the War to this day , and hath upon his credit advanced great sums of Money for their Service , and lost his Estate and Calling which was , and would have been of great advantage to him , and he desires that he may not be ruined in his attendance upon your Honours , he having waited near nine Moneths after a heavy sentence given against him , and nothing can more certainly ruin him and his Family then a further long attendance , under the sentence given against him ; He beseeches you therefore that the report of his Case now resting in the hands of Col. Downes may be speedily heard , and he humbly hopes he may yet be thought capable of doing further service for the Common wealth . GEORGE GILL ▪
