Conyers himself had gone to Dublin, upon the passing of the act sequestrating the property of all the Protestants by James's parliament, to endeavour to obtain a remission of the decree, so far as it concerned his house and adjoining grounds.
The sporting instinct of the landed Englishman has led to the enactment of laws under which an ordinary person goes smack to jail if he is caught sequestrating a clandestine pheasant bird; but it does not militate against the landowner's peddling off his game after he has destroyed it. British thrift comes in here. And so in carload lots it is sold to the marketmen.
He was complaining bitterly that Ireton had not carried out his promise, and handed him over the estates of Penford-bourne. "We have no excuse for sequestrating the estates," replied Ireton.

He had actually served as one of the King's Commissioners for sequestrating the estates of Parliamentarians in three English counties.
