said George Benyon, son and heir of said Sir George, did (as
we are informed) sign an acquittance acknowledging the
receipt of the said sum of 442l., which acquittance was for
some time taken to be a good acquittance to the said [Sir
George Benyon's] executors for payment thereof but afterwards
by them refused to be accepted and the money thereupon
paid into the Receipt of our Exchequer, and for want of some
words which should have been expressed in our said letters of
privy seal (although we have thereby given the said 442l. to
the said George Benyon) some doubt ariseth whether the said
moneys can now be issued out of our Exchequer by virtue
thereof." (Money warrant hereon dated Feb. 5 ; to be
satisfied by issuing a like sum to said G. Benyon, which is
paid into the Exchequer by the executors of said Sir George
for so much due to the King from them : the same to be

Instructions from Treasurer Danby to the Customs Commissioners
in reply to their represention of the 29th ult. As to the
Collector of Barnstaple and Bideford, which by former orders
were made members of the port of Appledore and directed to
pay in their money and account to that as the head port, which
settlement you find inconvenient and pray my direction therein,
I direct that (according to your proposal) Barnstaple and
Bideford do account to Mr. Litcot, Comptroller General of
Customs in London port, and that they pay in their money to
Mr. Mountney, Cashier of the Customs.
As to the Collectors of St. Christopher, Nevis, Antigua
and Montserrat whose receipts are very small and therefore
unwilling to give any securities but their own bonds, you may
permit them to remain in office on giving only their own bonds.
As to Mr. Donalston, owner of the ship "St. John," of
London, a prize ship taken in the late war and condemned in
the Admiralty of Scotland, which ship being lately arrived
from Barbados was permitted to discharge on deposit of
strangers' Customs and is since made free by royal warrant of
Jan. 17 [last], but the privilege of a free ship is denied for
this voyage, because the warrant bears date since her arrival ;
you are to construe said ship as a free ship for her late voyage,
and to take only natives duty for that voyage.
As to that wherein you pray direction whether meal and
flower imported shall pay the duty as for the corn whereof it is
made, according to the Act of tillage, touching which you
received my former directions upon the opinion of Sir William
Jones, I direct that meal so imported be seized and in case
the duty as for corn be refused that a trial be brought upon
it and prosecuted at the King's charge.

Warrant from Treasurer Danby to Sir William Jones, the
Attorney General. The Honble. James Herbert, second son of
the late Earl of Pembroke, claims the manor of Milton [Kent],
with all liberties, privileges, wrecks of the sea, courts baron and
leets, and all fishings in the said manor by grant from his late
father, to whom same was granted by Charles I., said Herbert
conceiving that by the words all fishing he had sole right to
fish in a place called the East Grounds, extending through the
parishes of Iwade, Elmley, Murston, Tenham, and Tong, in the
rivers or arms of the sea there, fished accordingly ; upon which
complaint was made by the fishermen of Strood to the [Privy]
Council Board. A Quo warranto was ordered to be brought
for Herbert to shew his patent by which he claimed, and said
Quo warranto was brought accordingly, to which said Herbert
pleaded that he had the sole and several fishing. But the
words sole and several fishing being not in the patent he has
since obtained His Majesty's letters patent bearing date
Jan. 23 last, whereby is granted to him the sole and several
fishing and dredging for oysters in the said grounds in all the
Hundred of Milton, so that none are to fish there without his
licence. And thereupon said Herbert prays a non pros to be
entered against the said Quo warranto. You are hereby to cause
a noli prosequi to be entered whereby the said Quo warranto
may be made void.

Report to the King from Treasurer Danby on the petition of
[William Wogan and William Mainston, gent., and of Sir
Thomas Wolstenholme, Sir Nicholas Crisp and Sir John
Shaw], as by the order of reference of Dec. 23 last. I find
that said Wolstenholme, Crisp and Shaw did pay that part of
the 30,000l. which Sir John Jacob or his heirs should have
paid to your Majesty, and thereupon it was requisite they
should have aid of your Majesty's process whereby to reimburse
themselves out of said Sir John Jacob's estate. Petitioners
Wogan and Mainstone have paid and satisfied the other
petitioners, Sir Thomas Wolstenholme. Sir Nicholas Crisp and
Sir John Shaw. I therefore think it equitable that your
Majesty's extent should be assigned for the satisfaction and in
aid of the said William Wogan and William Mainstone, and
for the protection of their respective purchases unto their
trustees until that part and proportion of the aforesaid
30,000l. due from said Sir John Jacob may be raised out of
his estate, and also for such other purposes according to equity
and good conscience in such manner as the Barons of the
Exchequer shall from time to time determine. In which
assignment from your Majesty care is to be taken that these
and such other trusts as your Majesty shall think just should
be expressed, lest other purchasers and creditors of Sir John
Jacobs' estate should receive prejudice thereby.

Warrant from Treasurer Danby to John Birch, Auditor of
Excise. On the foot of the accompt, 1671, June 24, to 1674,
June 24, of the late Farmers of [the] London [Excise], there
was depending 30,218l. 4s. 0d. for arrears of rent due for the
Additional Duty of Excise after the rate of 54,000l. per an.
Of this they have since paid 10,000l. in part. Said Farmers
have not only alleged that they never entered into any
covenants to pay the aforesaid yearly rent but also that they
lost, besides their pains in collecting that duty, [viz. to the
extent of] about 18,000l., which loss they prayed allowance
of. The King has hereon granted (and I hereby warrant) an
allowance in account to said Farmers in the first place of
2,430l. for the interest of their quarter's advance ("although
I did formerly order the said interest should not be allowed
unto them because the said Farmers did not pay their rent for
the said Additional Duty at the usual days of payment by
their covenants appointed for the old duty of Excise") and
further 4,788l. 4s. 0d. towards their alleged loss, "and so
there will remain due from the said Farmers 13,000l., in part
of which I am contended at their earnest request, and upon
the said Farmers striking of a tally, to accept in payment for
4,000l. one order registered in His Majesty's Exchequer, bearing
date the 8th day of November, 1670, payable to Sir Robert
Vyner, kt., or his assignees, for so much lent by him to His
Majesty upon the revenue of the Customs, commencing at the
feast of St. Michael the Archangel in the year of our Lord
God 1671, as by a tally of loan levied at the Receipt of His
Majesty's Exchequer dated [evenly] with the said order
appeareth" ; the moneys due on said order having become
payable to said Farmers by several mesne assignments. The
balance of 9,000l. they are to pay in 14 days from the 3rd
inst., on payment whereof they will be even and quit. You are
to take notice of this and make allowance as above.

hereby from time to time to permit the Victuallers of the Navy
for the time being to ship off by a free cocquet all such
victuals as shall be so directed as above by the Navy Commissioners
to be shipped off for His Majesty's service.
