Report by Treasurer Godolphin to the Queen on the Governor of
Virginia's demand of stores and arms for the defence of that Province
viz. to the value of 3388l. 3s. 4d. (the said matter being referred to
the Lord Treasurer by order in Council dated May 18 last). There
is no parliamentary provision for this. I therefore propose that
your Majesty's revenue of quit rents in Virginia [which is] reserved
for the emergent occasions of that Government (whereof the sum
of 4970l. 11s. 0d. is now in the hands of the Receiver there) be applied
to pay the said 3388l. 3s. 4d. to the Office of Ordnance in England:
and that directions be given to the Governor there to take care
that the inhabitants who shall receive same do respectively pay
the cost thereof. Warrants not Relating to Money XVII, p. 390. |

order in Council dated May 21 last). I find by an account of the
Receiver of the Four and a Half per cent. Duty in the Caribbee
Islands that there are effects in the Crown's warehouses there to
the value of 5500l. I propose that 3500l. thereof, when sold, be
applied in the first place for sending over an able engineer, a storekeeper, a master gunner and 17 other gunners as mentioned in the
said report viz. in advancing them a quarter's salaries and in laying
out upon such fire arms and "ammunition as is most wanted in that
island" see infra p. 322 under date Aug. 6]: and that the
remaining 2000l. be employed towards making good the demands
of the Governors of the Leeward Islands "as far as it will reach by
a proportionable quantity of each species" and especially of fire
arms and ammunition: and that the further produce of the same
revenue (after the 1000l. per an. to the heirs of the Earl of Kinnoul)
be applied by royal direction from time to time as shall be found
most requisite. Warrants not Relating to Money XVI, pp. 390–1. |
