| Description | Petition of William Grice, who was made free of the City by Assembly on 16 April 1644 and paid £10 for it but afterwards left the City as it was in the hands of the King's party and did not return until it was reduced to obedience of the Parliament. Since the Ordinance of Parliament disenfranchised him, he had attended Parliament and brings a letter declaring the opinion of a Committee of Parliament that they conceive the petitioner is not within the intention of the Ordinance. Note of voting. He was to be admitted gratis. |
