August 1624



Aug. 1. St. James's.	78. Lord Danvers to Sec. Conway. My demands have been thought requisite both by the Council of State and War; yet if this petty proportion of 50 soldiers seem too heavy for three subsidies, let me have 25 rather than fail; for without warrant and means to pay such artificers as the island affords not, the place and furniture run to ruin. After all this summer's attendance, I beg you, both as a friend and Secretary of State, to see me dispatched. [1 page.]
Aug. 6.	79. Sec. Conway to the Clerk of the Council. The King sees no reason why M. St. Sauveur should be put out of office, nor why he should have a pension of 100l.; and therefore approves the report for payment of arrears and restoration to office. An Act is therefore to be entered in the Council Book, and letters written to Jersey accordingly, according to a form which I send you. [²/3 page.]
Aug. 6. Beauvoir.	Minute of the above letter. [Conway's Letter Book, p. 143.]
Aug. 18.	80. The Council [to the receiver of Jersey ?] The bailiff of Jersey having been suspended from his place, and since long attended the hearing of his cause, with allegations for his justification, His Majesty referred his suit to some of this board, who find no means to relieve him but either by granting him a pension of 100l. a year, for which he was recommended to His Majesty, or restoring him to his office, and paying him the arrears which remain in the hands of the governor or any other. His Majesty, finding no matter of charge against the bailiff, and holding it not suitable to remove an officer without sufficient cause, is pleased that John Herault be restored to the office of bailiff, with all perquisites, and that the arrear grown due since his sequestration be forthwith paid to him; the execution of all which we, in His Majesty's name, hereby require you to cause to be performed, without question or delay.
	For the arrears, His Majesty has already signified his pleasure by his own letters, which he requires may be performed accordingly, and such fees, &c. as have grown due since the receipt of those letters are to be duly paid to Mr. Herault. [1 page, draft.]
