Report to the Treasury Lords from William Blathwaite,
as Auditor General of the Plantations, on
the petition of Peter de la Noy, touching money
received and disbursed by him during the time of
his being collector of New York. By patent of
1687, Nov. 4, Mathew Plowman was appointed
Collector and Receiver General of the Revenue in
New York. He was suspended from his office in
June, 1689, by the Council of New York for being
a Papist, and Col. Nicholas Bayard, one of the
Council there, Plautus Richards, Thomas Wenham
and John Haynes were appointed to collect and
receive the revenue till further orders from England.
About the end of the same month Capt. Leisler
having turned out the Lieut. Governor of New
York and seized the Government into his own
hands, the petitioner De la Noy was appointed
by him to receive the public money there without
any legal authority, since which time no accompts
or other papers relating to the revenue of New
York have been transmitted to England, that
Province remaining in great disorder since the
Revolution. His case and accounts may be referred
to the Governor now going thither and to the
Council there. |

Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the
Order of Council of Mar. 28 last, touching two
assaults on Customs officers, one on the riding
officers employed on the coast of Kent in preventing
the transportation of wool, when 14 persons employed
by Julius Deeds, present Mayor of Hythe,
beat and wounded said officers and rescued
from them 16 bags of wool which they had seized
in Scotney barn, belonging to said Deeds ; the
other being an assault made by Tho. Pye, master
of a shallop, and some of her crew, on Samuel Binks
and Thomas Fowler, Customs officers at [East]
Bourne, for seizing goods run on shore from said
shallop. On sufficient attestation, it has been
usual to send for the offenders in custody and to
direct the Attorney General to prosecute, and if
they bring their Habeas Corpus they are nevertheless
holden to sufficient bail. We advise that the letters
of mart [marque] granted to said Pye be superseded. |

Queen from Margaret, Viscountess Purbeck, shewing
that before her marriage with Robert Feilding she

her husband being attainted of high treason :

Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the
petition of the Mayor and Aldermen of London,
praying a grant to the city of all fines on presentments
or indictments for offences upon the river
of Thames and waters of Medway removed by
certiorari into the King's Bench.
We have inspected former grants and heard
counsel hereupon. We find that petitioners are
entitled to the Conservancy of the river of Thames
and waters of Medway and to hold Courts of Conservancy
and to have the fines imposed in those
Courts. But indictments or presentments in the
said Courts for offences (which concern the fishing
or navigation) being often by the offenders removed
into the King's Bench by certiorari, the city officers
are seldom or never at [go to] the charge of pursuing
same in the King's Bench because the fine set there
belongs wholly to the King, and so both the Crown
and the city lose the advantage of the fines and the
offenders go unpunished. The Crown has had
little or no profit of said fines since the determination
of the grant made by James II to trustees for the
said city before the restitution of their franchises,
and there is little expectation of such profit for the
future. We therefore advise such a grant to the
city of said fines with a proviso for voidance at
pleasure of the Crown. |

Bishop and under security of 2,000l. ; but Blight,
being a Papist, went into King James's Army,
being in arrear 439l. 9s. 2d. : therefore praying
that Blight's said security, and other bonds found
out by inquisition sued out by petitioner, may be
accepted to discharge the said late Bishop's executors
and petitioner from the said arrear. |

Treasury warrant to the Surveyor General of Crown
Lands for a particular of lands at Winchester in
order to a lease thereof to Anthony Segar : during
pleasure : at 60l. per an. rent.
Appending : report, dated 16 April last, by William
Tailer, Deputy Surveyor General, concerning said
lands. Before Surveyor [General, Harbord] went
away a state of the said lands [forming part of the
late King's park attached to the Palace there] was
several times made to the Treasury on the petition
of Tho. Cobb and Robert Forder, and Treasury
warrant was given Nov. 3 last to the Surveyor to
let same to the best advantage, ut supra, p. 1365.
On Dec. 12 last I reported a state of that matter
on a reference of Mr. Forder's petition ; the highest
offer (from both alike) being 50l. to Michaelmas
next and 60l. per an. for the future. The grant
should be during pleasure, for the Crown may
have occasion of it again for the use it was at first
purchased for, "for which Charles II paid a dear
price." The premises contain 40 acres in St. Faith's
Field, bought of Forder, who rented from the Dean
and Chapter of Winchester ; five acres in same
field ; a field called Painter's Field, held from the
Bishop of Winchester and bought of Fran. Morley
and his under-tenant, the said Forder ; a croft of
four acres held by John Badger from the Dean and
Chapter [of Winchester] ; 1½ acres of free land
bought of Thomas Wavell : the whole about 80½
acres, lying very near the city, and cost above
20l. per acre, but lately valued by the Mayor of
Winchester at but 50l. per an., though I cannot
but think they are well worth 60l. |
