The full story from Mocavo....
May 17. 133. Petition of Giles Theyer to the Committees for the Par-
liament. That he being possessor of a team in Beckenham
was obliged to disburse 51. 3s. 4d. to redeem his team of horses,
they being seized for non-payment of the l0d. tax levied on that
parish; the deficiency was caused by inability to collect the sum
assessed on Dr. Skynner, late rector of that parish, who was then
under sequestration. Older having been passed by the Committee
that money disbursed for taxes unpaid of lands in sequestration shall
be allowed out of the rents from the tenants, or upon account by the
Treasurer of Sequestrations. Petitioner being a poor man prays
that order may be taken for repayment to him of the said sum,
which he cannot afford to lose. Underwritten,
133. I. Ordered that Daniel Shetterden shall repay the money
advanced by Giles Theyer. Dorso,
133. II. Receipt by Giles Theyer for 51. 3s. 4d. received of Daniel
Shetterden. 18th May 1644.
133. III. Ordered, that as the above-named sum was omitted to be
allowed to Mr. Shetterden upon the passing of his former
sequestration accounts, the same be allowed to him out of
such sequestration money as is now in his hands.
I rather like that. He must be too old to be Giles senior, so possibly his father.
