, and it was a public scandal that a great part of this wanton
and wasteful extravagance remained unpaid, to the undoing of the
undertakers. On 25 August, 1659, in the _Kalendar of State Affairs
(Domestic)_, the following occurs: 'Report by the Committee appointed
by Parliament to examine what is due for mourning for the late General
Cromwell, that on perusal of the bills signed by Cromwell's servants,
and of the account of Abr. Barrington, his auditor, it appears that
L19,303 0_s._ 11_d._ is still due and unpaid for mourning. Also that
Nath. Waterhouse, servant to Rich. Cromwell, should be authorized to
see the persons in a list [missing] annexed for that mourning. Col.
Rich to make this report. Schedule of debts due to 11 mercers and
drapers for the funeral of the late General Cromwell. Total L19,303
0_s._ 11_d._'
