490, 505). An ordinance was passed on 3 March 1647 for paying him 1,448l. in satisfaction of his arrears (ib. v. 477). At the sale of bishops' lands in 1647 and 1648 Harvey purchased for 7,617l. 2s. 10d. the manor of Fulham, Middlesex, other land in Fulham for 674l. 10s., and a fee farm rent out of the manors of Burton and Holnest, Dorsetshire (Nichols, Collectanea, i. 3, 123, 127). He also bought from the Nourse family of Woodeaton, Oxfordshire, the lease of the great tithes of the see of London, and resided at the episcopal palace at Fulham. On being nominated one of the commissioners to try the king he attended regularly; but on the last day (27 Jan. 1649) he expressed his dissatisfaction with the proceedings, and refused to sign the warrant. Soon afterwards he was made first commissioner of customs and a navy commissioner. In the beginning of November 1655 Harvey sumptuously entertained Cromwell at Fulham (Mercurius Politicus, November 1655, p. 5740), but on the 7th of that month was ordered to the Tower for joining with three other commissioners of customs in defrauding the Commonwealth, and he was subsequently dismissed from his office. In January 1656 his wife Judith obtained permission for him to reside at Fulham for a month, on his giving security for 10,000l. (Cal. State Papers, Dom. 1655–6, pp. 8, 55, 92). On his promising to refund the money fraudulently acquired he was discharged from custody in the following February (ib. Dom. 1655–6, pp. 169, 352–3, 1656–7, passim). At the Restoration, though he surrendered himself, he was excepted both as to life and property; on 16 Oct. 1660 was brought to trial at the Old Bailey, and was sentenced to death, but was ordered on 31 Oct. 1661 to be confined in Pendennis Castle, Cornwall (ib. Dom. 1661–2, pp. 130, 134).
