John Lucas, etc., “say they carried divers pictures, with frames, others without frames, and some rayles into Mr. Withers House [it will be remembered that Anthony Withers had purchased the house from Newton in 1637–8] in Queen’s Street, now in the possession of Col. Popham, the which goods above said these examiners say are the proper goods of Mr. Withers” (Interregnum Papers, A., 98).
