TitleCopy of D1232/O/24 with Sanders' answers to the allegations against him: (a) Was never commanded to go in person to convey the ordinance (b) When he heard of the fight at Egginton, he found that his men had gone to his country house and, the stables being locked, he could not get his horse - he marched out with the foot, but had not gone half a mile when they heard the enemy were beaten (c) The exchange of Captain. Baker for Mr Thacker was disliked both by the Committee and the commanders, but he spoke nothing against Essex's order (d) Was never ordered by Gell to go with any part of the regiment to join Fairfax for it was not decided how many should go before he went to London - his business in London was a petition for an additional committee (e) Upon returning from London, he was ordered by the deputy lieutenants to go to the horse at Southwell - he desired to be spared a day or two for health reasons - after a few days he went, but told the deputy lieutenants they had no power to command him (f) Upon receiving Essex's letter and the tender of a new commission, he said he would go to London and deliver his commission to Essex - he would refuse a new one as he knew how he had abased the old (g) He was allowed to go to his own house upon promising not to stir (h) He asked if he might have the privileges of a Cavalier prisoner to go to church and walk in the streets - he was told he might but must not go outside the works - he said he was indifferent whether he made use of the permission until he was released - he had no liberty at all until 8 Feb and was not fully released until Essex's letter arrived on 15 Feb (i) It was agreed between Gell and himself that he should appoint his own officers (j) If there be any suggestion that the major and his Captains be separatists or the like, the contrary will be proved (k) If it be claimed that they go about to suppress the gentry, it is utterly disclaimed
