Ibu'liamoJitary Horough of Clitheroe’*: •• lu the tliree Parliaments of Cromwell’s Pro- loclorate, Clithcroc, like all the Mualler boroughs, was not represented. They were suimnoncd and sat, respi’ctivi'ly, in the years 1053, U55I-55, and lO.IO-oS. The first of throe Assemblies, that called in 1053, wa.”. in no .strict souse an eleeti'd House of Ctmi- moiis. It was a gathering rather of more or less notable Commoners known to bo friendly to Cromwell’s system of govern­ ment, and when Cromwell himself chose out, without reference to the electoral bodies, to assist him in the task of govern­ ing. For the County of Lancaster three members were apptiinted. Tlicy wero Willian AA'est, Esq., John Sawroy, Esq.; and Hohert Ciinlilfe, Esq. The last-named was of Sparth House, in Clayton-le-Aloors—a z(?alous Croiuwclliaii and an Independent in leligious jiersuasion, a momher of the church of Air. Thomas Jollie at Altham, later at AVliymomlhouses, near CHthoroe. This was nickiiamed the * Little^ Parlia­ ment ’ and tho “ Hareboncs Parliament.* Carlyle designates it a ‘ Puritan Conveii- tiim* of Notables.’ It very speedily dis­ solved itself, December 12th, l(i53.

In the third, sum­ moned in September, IGofi, Sir Hichard Houghton,' Hart., of Hoghton Tower, was one of tlic four Lancashire Alomhcrs.
