They are therefore hereby to be so appointed Receivers of said Revenue, great or small, certain or casual, "whether the same belonged to us [as private revenue] before our access to the Crown of England or descended, accrued or came unto us by the demise of our late royal brother King Charles the Second of blessed memory or by any other ways or means whatsoever": they to receive and issue all the revenue and to account at least once yearly to the Commissioners for taking the Accounts of the said Revenue; particularly distinguishing therein the revenue which belonged to the King before his access: they to observe the instructions of the Chief Governors of Ireland or the Treasury Lords, England: with power to deduct 6d. per £ on all payments in Ireland except where particular order to the contrary has been given; and also to receive all other fees payable heretofore to the Vice-Treasurer or Receiver General of Ireland: for all which deductions and fees they are to be accomptable to the King: they to have a yearly sum of 1,000l. for salary as previously allowed to said Price: their advance money as above with 6 per cent. is to be secured on and repaid out of the said deduction of 6d. per £, which deduction is hereby to be granted them till such repayment be complete and they to retain said office till then: but if the said fund be insufficient to repay the principal money of said advance, or if it be more to the King's service, then such advance money shall and may be satisfied out of any the King's treasure in Ireland.

Further, "the said John Price for the sum of 8,000l.

Appending: said report, dated June 1 inst. From the depositions it seems that the matters complained of are quarrels between English and French fishermen at sea and no ways relating to the business of the Customs. We have no way to examine the matter, as no person or vessel is named or certainly described. But we hardly conceive the matter to be worthy of his Majesty's cognizance. Being super altum mare it is more properly enquirable in the Admiralty.

Out of tender regard for the fact that you required bond for the King's tenths only without mention of a moiety it is the King's pleasure that you restore to the persons concerned four-fifths of the moiety so received and that the remaining fifth, being a tenth of the whole, be retained in the hands of the Receiver General of New England till the King's pleasure as to its disposal be announced. Ibid, p. 394. Out Letters (Plantations Auditor) I, p. 300.

Warrants not Relating to Money XII, p. 328.

We have laid before the King the drafts of the proclamation to prevent the exportation of wool, and his Majesty approved that draft which contains the Attorney General's amendments.

This payment is to be made out of the revenue of Ireland in regard that the late Farmers of the Revenue of Ireland have as yet no allowance in their account of the said moneys due on the said warrants or assignments, the same being still in the hands of said Alexander unsatisfied. But it is the King's intention that the said sum of 511l. 16s. 9¾d. shall hereafter be repaid and made good to the Crown by the said Farmers out of the balance of their account when the same shall be determined.
