_Bishops' Lands_.--In the month of September, 1642, the Parliament
appointed a committee for the sale of Bishops' lands; and an account of
some sold between 1647 and 1651, will be found in vol. i. of the
_Collectanea Topographica_, 8vo., 1834. On the Restoration, a committee sat
to inquire into these sales and make satisfaction. Bishop Kennet refers to
a MS. containing the orders of the commissioners, but does not state where
the MS. was deposited; nor has Sir Frederic Madden, who communicated that
article to the _Collectanea_, met with it anywhere.
Can any of your correspondents give any information upon the subject, or
say where may be found any accounts of the sales of the lands under the
parliamentary orders, or of the proceedings of the commissioners appointed
to make restitution upon the king's restoration?
