Treasury order to the Customs Commissioners to
observe (a) infra by sufficiently increasing the
security to be given as follows.
Prefixing : Order of the Privy Council, dated Whitehall,
27 Feb. last, to the effect that the usual bond
of 100l. given at the Custom House by masters of
coal ships bound to Newcastle is so inconsiderable
that at the present moment it may be an inducement,
after they are cleared, to go round Scotland to
trade at the Plantations and other parts notwithstanding
the forfeiture, as several ships have done
formerly, "if their Lordships are not misinformed,"
which is to the prejudice of the King's service in
carrying away seamen and to the disappointment
of furnishing the city of London with coals : therefore
the Treasury Lords are hereby directed to
direct such increase of the said security as they
shall judge necessary for preventing the fraud. |

Ibid. |

Same to the Customs Commissioners of the petition
of Edward Bird, shewing that he has encouraged

that there is as good point and bone lace now [made]

that he has been and daily is at great charge in
employing many hundred hands for carrying on
the said manufacture, which is a great subsistence
to several towns in the counties of Devon, Dorset
and Wilts : that he sent for a small parcel of Flanders
lace to the value of 30l., which is seized by the
Customs officers : therefore praying delivery of

subsistence of [pressed] seamen. You are to take
care to supply the collectors with money for that

Same to the Earl of Clare, enclosing (a) infra. Please
send to my Lords your answer thereto.
Appending : (a) letter [? to Serjeant Ryley] from
Walter Laycock, Surveyor of Woods, Trent North,
dated from Edmonton Hall Feb. 21 last. The
other day the Earl of Clare's agent sent to the
Treasury Lords a certificate signed by the verderers
and two regarders of Sherwood Forest and desired
me to sign it, being to the effect that in accordance
with the Treasury order of Aug. 18 last, supra, p. 772,
we had marked and set forth the said Earl's 1,500l.
worth of timber in the precincts as ordered, but this
wood falling badly, therefore thought that said Earl
should have the tops and bark of said timber to
make it worth 1,500l. I and the woodward have
refused to sign same, for I can produce chapmen
that will give his lordship 1,500l. for the wood and
pay all the money in 12 months' time. Besides,
his lordship three months ago sent to me to tell
me he had got a grant from the King of the tops
and bark, and therefore I must not obstruct his
workmen. I sent him answer that when I had
any such order from the Treasury Lords he might
take it but not before ; notwithstanding which my
Lord Clare sets workmen to cord up the topwood.
If he must have the tops and bark I desire an order
for my discharge : if he must not it will be requisite
there be a prohibition of the falling of the wood
until barking time or else there will be great damage
in it ; for all the bark that is felled now is lost. |
Ibid. |
|
Treasury order that Capt. Mathew Ingram take care
of the packing of the clothing for the Army in

Deputy Commissary of the Provisions, and to be
shipped off by him for Dublin or the port nearest
to the quarters of each Regiment and consigned
to William Robinson and Bartho. Van homrigh,
Commissaries General of the Provisions, or their
deputies, who are to take care that they be delivered
to such officers as shall be appointed by the Colonel
of such Regiment : similarly those sent to Bristol
are to be consigned to Robert Henley, one of the
Commissioners of the Transports, to be by him
similarly shipped and disposed. Ingram is to send to
said Vickars and Henley two complete invoices of
the clothing of every particular Regiment to be sent
with said clothing ; one for the Commissaries or
their deputies, the other for the officer of the
Regiment concerned. |
