^{page 184 note a} On the 26th February 1641–2 the house made an order, upon the report of sir Philip Stapleton, for the payment of certain allowances to the garrison of Hull, amounting to,£11 85. per diem. (Journ. ii. 457.) On the same day an order was made, that the marquess of Hertford, or whosoever else had the charge of the prince, should forthwith bring him to London. In reference to the latter order the following words were written in our MS. under this note relating to Hull, and afterwards struck out again, “That if we had the prince heere, wee should doe well enough with the parliment. Fetch him to Whitehall.”
