Notes

Fol. 34: The court was informed that Sir William Mason of Grey’s Inn served Charles I in the Civil Wars and had thereby become a great sufferer and very indigent. It was agreed that he was a fit person to receive a pension. It was therefore ordered that Jonah Ricroft, Treasurer for Maimed Soldiers for the hundreds of Osulstone, Edmonton and Gore, pay him a gratuity of £6 out of the surplusage remaining in his hands and that Henry Hawley, Treasurer for Maimed Soldiers for the hundreds of Elthorne, Spelthorne and Isleworth, pay him a pension of £5 per annum.
