Notes

Andrew Miller of Chepping Wycomb, apothecary, who claimed “that he served his late Majestie King Charles the second in the severall Regiments of the Lord Mordaunt and Earl of Cleveland and under the severall Commands of Captain Baron and Captain Bridges,” asked to be admitted to a life pension in place of the late Richard Hynton, on account of his poverty. Although the Court had “received a very favorable Character” of him, they were not able to grant his request, as he had not produced “any Certificate from his Officers… as by Law required.” But they granted him £2 for his immediate needs, as well as 2 s. 6 d. to pay the Clerk of the Peace for a copy of this order. They gave him leave to petition again with the required certificate, and ordered that his petition be filed in the meantime.
