will prevent suits for any particular sums. |

105. Sir Rich. Onslow to Sir Wm. Batten. Sets forth the just
causes of complaint against Mr. Cooper about the carriage of timber.
The distance, instead of being 12 miles, is 14 or 16, for if the outward part of the forest be within 12 miles, the carriers have to
fetch their lading four or five miles within it. Timber that requires
frames is laid on such persons as have only waggons, which when
they bring them, are sent back empty. The warrant, though dated
in May, is kept till harvest time, so that a convenient service is
made a burden, and the burden a wrong, all which might have been
helped by the better ordering of the justices and purveyors. [Adm.
Papers.] Encloses, |
|
105. i. Warrant by George Woodroofe and George Vernon to the
High Constable of the Hundred of Woking, on authority of the Act for providing timber for the use of the
navy, to charge, within that hundred, 100 sufficient
teams and carriages, with horses or oxen, to carry timber
from Aliceholt to Chertsey Haw, at the rate of 1s. per
load per mile, to be charged on parishes and places
within 12 miles of the forest. May 26, 1663. With
note by Wm. Cooper, 29 July, that the names of persons
having horses and oxen are to be returned to him, at the
White Horse, Wrecklesham. |
|
105. ii. J. Lloyd, Hen. Hildyard, and Arthur Onslow, justices of
peace [of Surrey], to Mr. Cooper, purveyor of the forest.
John Martin, chief constable of the Hundred of Woking,
has received a warrant requiring him to provide 100
teams for conveying timber from Aliceholt Forest to
Chertsey Haw, for the use of the navy, but as very few
parishes of the said hundred lie within 12 miles of the
place of lading, they are not chargeable for that service.
Requests a meeting to confer upon it.
Guildford, August 1, 1663. |
|
105. iii. Sir Rich. Onslow, Hen. Hildyard, and Arthur Onslow
to the Same. Great complaint is made to the justices
at Guildford concerning the above charge; few persons
are liable, and carriages cannot be had without
paying 20s. a load beyond the King's price of 12d. per
mile; so great a charge must not be imposed upon the
few persons liable by law. If a meeting be not assigned
at once to consider the matter, complaint will be made to
the Navy Comrs. Guildford, August 3, 1663. |

ago. Begs signature to the warrant for payment. Annexing, |
