Order of the Privy Council for granting to Col. Lionel
Copley, Governor of Maryland, 600l. as part of the
duty of 1s per hogshead as below, together with
such further part of the said duty as shall remain
after deduction of the 14d. per ton and of the one
fourth part of said 1s. per hogshead, which is directed
to be applied to buying arms and ammunition as
below [see infra under date 1691, Dec. 11].
Appending : report, dated Oct. 12, from the Committee
of Trade and Plantations to the Privy Council
on the petition of said Col. Copley ; said petition
setting forth that there is a certain duty in Maryland
of 1s. per hogshead [being a moiety of the duty of
2s. per hogshead], which is given by the county
[country] for support of the Government, and that
"the [proceeds of] same [arisen the last year in
Maryland] hath been lately consigned by bills to
Mr. Peter Baggin of London [see supra, pp. 1323,
1326], which by order of Council were commanded out
of his hands and are now by Order of the Lords of the
Treasury in the hands of the Cashier of the Customs" ;
therefore praying that in consideration of his long
attendance and great expense in relation to the said
Government the said money may be delivered to
petitioner.
Hereon the Committee of Trade and Plantations
desire the Lord President to represent in Council
that there are bills remitted from the Convention
of Maryland for 1,071l. 16s. 2d. for the last year's
duty in Maryland [of the said 1s. per hogshead]
and the [tonnage duty of] 14d. [per] ton [ut supra],
which proceeds are ordered by the Treasury Lords
to be paid to the Receiver General of Customs ;
of which sum 273l. or thereabouts may be due for
the 14d. per ton payable to Lord Baltimore : and
that, by the instructions to Col. Copley, one fourth
part of this revenue accruing to their Majesties is
to be applied towards the buying of arms and
ammunition. The Committee of Trade thereupon
humbly offer that 600l., part of the whole, "with
such further sum as shall remain after deduction
of the duty of 14d. per ton and one fourth of the
1s. per hogshead for the buying of arms and ammunition,"
be allowed to Colonel Copley in consideration
of his attendance and expense in that Government
and in satisfaction of his salary to March last.

Treasury order to the Customs Commissioners to
observe (a) infra.
Prefixing : (a) Order of the Privy Council, dated
Whitehall, Oct. 15 inst., that 1,000 English seamen
be allowed to the port of London for this year's
trade to Virginia and Maryland, with addition of
one fourth part of foreigners, and that the Customs
Commissioners do apportion and distribute the
said number into the several ships and do report
with all speed to the Committee for Trade and
Plantations such distribution and allotment, with
the names of the ships, their burden and crew :
and likewise that they send to the said Committee
an exact list of all ships, their burden and number
of seamen entered [from] or cleared for any other
part of America than Barbados, the Leeward
Islands, Jamaica, Virginia and Maryland, so that
such orders may be given therein as the Privy
Council find requisite : all by reason that the
Committee for Trade and Plantations have this
day acquainted the Council that they have discoursed
with the Customs Commissioners and with the
principal traders to Virginia and Maryland, who
have represented that by reason of the unlimited
number of seamen permitted to go from the outports
to Virginia and Maryland the traders from the
port of London would be much discouraged if a
proportionable number of seamen be not allowed
them for this year's trade, and therefore offering
for consideration that 200 English seamen over
and above the 800 allowed the last year for London
port for the Virginia and Maryland trade may
sufficiently accommodate the merchants for the
present year. |

Treasury warrant to the Surveyor General of Crown
Lands for a particular of the wood ground called
St. Johns Wood near Chipping Wycombe, co. Bucks,
in order to a reversionary lease thereof to John
Gibbons for 31 years at 30l. per an. rent : with
power to the lessee to cut the wood thereon according
to the statute of 35 Hy. VIII.
Prefixing : report dated Mar. 24 last from William
Harbord, said Surveyor General, on said Gibbons'
petition for same. The premises were granted to
Sir Robert Johnson, kt., 1610, Mar. 29, for 60 years
at 10l. per an. without fine on condition of the
lessee spending 200l. in fencing and improving
same and at the end of the lease to leave 100 acres
of wood ground uncut of at least 12 years' growth,
the whole being expressed in the survey to be 275
acres and then valued at 45l. per an. A reversionary
grant passed 1662, Oct. 2, inter alia to Henry
Seymour for 23 years from 1670, Mar. 29, at 40l.
per an. This rent of 40l. per an. was sold 1666-7,
Jan. 24, to Sir Thomas Danyell, reserving to the
Crown only 10s. per an. ; and in 1676, April 19,
said Danyell sold his interest in said rent to Auditor
Parsons. Seymour for 30l. consideration assigned
his whole interest in the term 1666, May 28, to
Andrew Hunt, the tenant, whose daughter the
present petitioner married, "and 'tis alleged by
the petitioner that the wood being now (the greatest
part of it) well grown, which the petitioner hath
power to cut down and dispose of at any time
before the determination of the said grant, and
in regard the inhabitants of the seven adjacent
parishes claim right of common and weeding and
have put the lessee to above 210l. charge" in
defending the King's title, and that it never was
nor could be kept enclosed in spite of the abovesaid
covenant in Johnson's lease, and, if now cut down
under the present lease, it would not be fit to cut
again in many years : therefore I advise to reduce
