SIR GEOFFREY SHAKERLEY, knt. his successor in 1624. This personage, a staunch and devoted loyalist, suffered severely for

his attachment to the STUARTS. He was

several times imprisoned, and had his lands confiscated. Upon the restoration, however, he obtained restitution, and was appointed by the king governor of Chester Castle.

During the battle between Poyntz and Sir Marmaduke Langdale, on Rowton Heath, Colonel Shakerley was commissioned to carry the intelligence of an advantage of the Royalists to the king, in Chester, then beleaguered, and to avoid a troublesome circuit, he crossed the Dee in a tub, his horse swimming at the side; and offered to carry back the king's commands in a quarter of an hour, in the same manner. CHARLES delayed, Poyntz rallied, and the royal cavalry were destroyed, which put an end to his Majesty's project of joining Montrose, who was then in force in Scotland.
