Commissioners of Discoveries
1656 (8 July) Worcester House, Order from the Commissioners for Discoveries to Sir Robert Pye 'the elder', of the parish of St. Margarets, Westminster; partly printed on paper with a small tear to the top left. Signed "F. Parkhurst.".
The order states that "Whereas Edmund Stephens of Lemster in the County of Hereford Gent on the behalf of His Highness the Lord Protector, hath exhibited an Information before the said Commissioners, against Sr Robert Pye the elder". Pye is therefore "desired to appear before the said Commissioners at Worcester House in the Strand, in the County of Middlesex, on Tuesday the fifteenth - day of July".
The printed text usually reading 'required' to appear has been crossed out and replaced by hand with 'desired' to appear, possibly reflecting the delicacy involved in summoning Pye, a former MP and public servant. Photo
Commission for Discoveries (1656) had been set up to seek out lands and goods belonging to the State and Protector that had been improperly concealed by private persons. The Commissioners relied on informers for leads and up to this point had found little.
Ferdinando Parkhurst, Registrar to the Commissioners for Discoveries.
