John Fountaine, a lawyer at Lincoln's Inn, will be named a delinquent and remanded to the Tower for refusing to honor Parliament’s request for monies for the prosecution of the war, Anglia Rediviva has learned.

“It’s my opinion such ‘voluntary loans’ – which are nothing less than forced confiscation of the private property of the individual -- are a clear and egregious violation of the Petition of Right,” Fountaine said. "The lamentable state of the Kingdom is the result of the King's constant contempt for that charter of English liberties, and I am appalled that Parliament, which claims itself the defender of same, is like Charles hypocritically seeking to render it null and void.”
