Revenue Committee of Lords and Commons
1647 (30 November) from Westminster, Warrant from the Revenue Committee of Lords to Thomas Fauconbridge, Receiver General of the Revenues. Written on paper folded in the usual manner bearing a filing endorsement to the reverse. Small tear to reverse partially patched. Signed by the Earl of Salisbury, Philip Baron Wharton, Henry Mildmay, Cornelius Holland and Thomas Hoyle. For the pay of Charles Kirke the sum of £35 17s. 9p. for hay, straw, oats and beans, for:
"his Majesties' Coach Horses, & Saddle = Horses"
"Captaine Titus Esquerrie his Nagg"
"Captaine Robert Preston his two Naggs"
For fourteen nights, 12-26 November, according to two detailed bills "vouched under the hand of Captaine Robert Preston".

This payment covers the first days of the period of rather more than one year that Charles I spent on the Isle of Wight. He crossed the Solent on 13 November 1647, and arrived at Carisbrooke Castle on the 14th; Col. Robert Hammond, the Governor of Carisbrooke Castle, and cousin of Cromwell, had crossed over to meet the King and returned to the Isle of White with him. Hammond thus became the custodian of Charles, until he was removed as Governor on 21 November 1648, after which the new Governor, Isaac Ewer moved quickly and transferred the King back across the Solent to Hurst Castle on 1 December 1648. Within two months the King was executed.
