Orders set down and agreed upon by Colonel John Lambert, Commander in chief of all the Forces in the Northern Assotiation, and the Council of War held at Wakefield, for the equal distribution of the said Army into quarters, and the better regulation thereof. I THat all Officers and Soldiers, be equally distributed and quartered upon every Parish and Town, according to the chief Constable's rates: & the several Officers of the Troops & companies of Horse and Foot, (for the more speedy and equal prosecution thereof) are to take the advice and direction of the chief Constables in their respective wapontakes, or divisions, II. That all soldiers be equally quartered upon every man according to his estate, in the Town or Parish where it lieth: And if in case any person having lands or other profits liable to assessment (in the Town or Parish where he hath no house nor entertainment) for billeters, shall refuse to pay his proportion assessed upon him for lands or other profits; then the Officers of the Troop, or Company appointed to quarter there, shall upon complaint made to him or them, appoint so many soldiers to quarter at his dwelling house, as comes to his proportion, provided it be within the same Riding of this County, or the same County in other parts of the Association, and if not he is to certify the Commander in chief thereof. III. That all Officers and Soldiers so quartered shall content themselves with such ordinary diet, as those with whom they quarter usually afford themselves and their families: And if any shall otherwise enforce, or attempt to enforce his Landlord to provide dainties, or extraordinary diet; upon complaint to the next superior Officer in commission, such Officer shall compose the business betwixt the quarterer and the Landlord, or in case he cannot, to certify the business to the Commander in chief. iv If any Landlord shall refuse to admit or entertain such as are duly quartered upon him, according to the rules aforesaid, than the Captain or chief Officer present, with the Troop or Company, shall send some Commission Officer with such assistance as shall be needful to cause the quarterer to be received into and settled in his quarter with as much quietness as may be: And if any Landlord shall be refractory or obstinate, in not entertaining or supplying with necessary quarters, those that are duly quartered upon them: The chief Officer present with the Troop or company (if he cannot otherwise compose the difference between the Landlord and the quarterer) shall send such obstinate refuser to the chief Officer present with the Regiament, who shall (if there be cause) transmit him to the Commander in chief, either in safe custody or otherwise (with respect to his quality) to answer his contempt. V Whereas great abuses are committed by some Soldiers in receiving money of their Landlords, for discharge of quarters, which they do not pay; It is Ordered, that if any Landlord having no accommodation for quarter shall desire to table abroad, or for other causes, be minded to hire out their quarters, that then their said Landlords shall not agree with their Soldiers, nor give them money to quarter themselves elsewhere, but shall agree with some inhabitants in the said Township or Parish, for convenient quarter, and fit accommodation for them from week to week, as they shall think fit: and the soldiers are hereby required to receive no money as aforesaid. VI Whereas divers Officers and Soldiers, do many times upon their own sleight occasions or pleasures, absent themselves from their quarters, and during the time of their said absence, do demand money in lieu of their quarters: It is therefore ordered, that no Officer or Soldier shall demand or receive any money from their Landlords for the same, except they be employed upon the public service; or the private soldier have licence from the Captain of the Troop or Company to which he belongs, and a ticker expressing the place he is to go to, and the time allowed for his stay, and the Officers from the Commander in chief. And all Officers are hereby required not to give leave to any Soldiers so to departed their quarters, except the Soldier shall make it appear, that his occasions are real and urgent, and then they are to receive of their respective Landlord's money in lieu of quarters, according to the time allotted in the said tickets, one moiety whereof is to be paid upon the departure of the Soldier, and the other moiety at his return: Provided the money so allotted do not extend above 15 d. per diem for every Trooper, and 6 d. per diem for every foot soldier and for Officers as hereafter is set down.
