ratal of same in order to a lease thereof to the
Mayor, burgesses and inhabitants of Tiverton for
the sole use and benefit of the poor of said town
for 99 years at a rent of 20s. to the Crown.
Appending : report, dated Nov. 25 last, by William
Tailer. Deputy Surveyor General of Crown Lands,
on the Treasury reference of July 31 last, supra,
p. 1251. enclosing an Order of Council of the 23rd
of the same month, therein reciting a report made
by the Attorney General on the petition of said
Mayor etc., concerning said land. This piece of
ground was petitioned for in 1686 by John Sibley
by the name of a plot of barren waste ground
containing 12 or 14 acres full of pits and holes,
very noisome to the inhabitants and of little or no
profit to anyone, and that no one claimed interest
therein, but that it belonged to the Crown. The
truth of Sibley's petition was attested by Sir Hugh
Auckland. Mayor of Tiverton, Edmund Gibbons,
Deputy Recorder, and 15 of the burgesses and
assistants of that Corporation. Thereupon Mr.
Fisher, then Deputy Surveyor of Crown Lands,
reported 1686-7, Feb. 27, that he had no survey
of the premises, nor were they in charge before the
auditor ; he therefore sent to Mr. Sainthill, then
steward of the manor of Bradninch, who certified
that it was reputed about 20 acres and expressed
the abuttals thereof as they were afterwards inserted
in the lease thereof made to Lord Hunsdon and
James Calwoodleigh, gent., at the nomination of
said Sibley. These abuttals agreed with those
certified to Mr. Fisher by two able inhabitants of
the town, who found it to contain about 17 acres.
A constat was thereon rated under Treasury warrant
of 1687, April 18, supra, Calendar of Treasury
Books, Vol. VIII, p. 1313, and thereupon a 99 years'
lease (not the inheritance, as desired) afterwards
passed.
In July, 1687, Richard Cole petitioned the Treasury
Lords, alleging that the quantity was much more
than was expressed in Sibley's lease, and thereupon
Fisher advised a survey and on the 13th Oct., 1687,
wrote accordingly to Sir John Southcote, kt., and
to the Mayor etc. of Tiverton, and they returned
reply that divers ancient inhabitants of the said town
testified that they had been told by their ancestors
and other aged people that all the lands called
Elmore had been ever anciently esteemed 150
acres and that the same reputation had been continued
to that day and that the boundaries which
included the said 150 acres were the same as in
Sibley's lease, and that they believed about 20
acres thereof was unenclosed, but that the remainder,
as those ancient men told them, had been enclosed
and possessed by divers inhabitants beyond the
reach of their memory, and that they believed his
Majesty was deceived in his grant to Sibley.
Upon the return of this certificate, the Treasury
Lords ordered that Cole should at his own charge
bring a scire facias against Sibley's lease and when
that lease was avoided, then Mr. Cole should have
a lease of the whole 150 acres at Elmore, but nothing
further appears done for that petitioner. The
Attorney General is of opinion that Sibley's lease
is void by reason of mistakes in the boundaries and
that it is reasonable to grant and confirm the
premises to the present petitioners for their encouragement
to improve the same for the sole use
and benefit of the poor of the town, who are alleged
to be very many. |

Same to the Clerk of the Signet for a same for raising
20,000l. by wood sales in Dean Forest as follows.
Phillip Ryley, Surveyor General of Woods, Trent
South, William Cooke, Reginald Pindar, William
Boevy, John Viney and John Kyrle being commissioned
May 18 to view said forest, have certified
that in the places as in the schedule below there
are great and valuable quantities of scrubbed beech
and birch with some holly, hazel and orle fit to
be cut, and that provided care be taken to preserve
all oak, straight beech and sufficient shelter the
cutting of the said timber will be consistent with
the Act of 20 Car. II, c. 8 ; further that the fences
there necessary to be repaired for preservation of
timber are the Lea Bayly, Chestnut Coppice, Edghills,
Badcock's Bayly, Buardeans[Ruardean] Inclosure and
the Fence, to a total charge of 137l. 10s. 0d. ; further
that the greatest part of the Castle of St. Briavel,
being an ancient building, is ruined and fallen down
and only some part thereof kept up for a place to
hold the Courts in for the King's manor and hundred
of St. Briavell, and also for a prison for debtors and
offenders in said forest, and that the charge of
mending the roof, tiling, glazing and building a new
pound will be 10l. 14s. 2d. : further that two keepers'
lodges, Worcester Lodge and York Lodge, which
were pulled down in 1688, are absolutely necessary
to be rebuilt at a charge of 90l. and 12 tons of
timber, being 18l. ; further, that the Speech House,
where the Courts are held for the said forest, being
also the principal Lodge, requires still 111l. 12s. 0d.
besides the moneys already laid out for repairs of
the roof ; further, that the colliers of the said
forest have, time out of mind, had an allowance of
wood for [pit props for] support of their pits, which
allowance has been usually made them by order of
the verderers and taken by view of a woodward
or keeper ; but of late some stop has been put
thereto, and for preventing of wastes which are
daily committed under pretence thereof, the said
Commissioners have advised that the allowance
of wood may be made to the said colliers and
taken by view of a woodward or keeper, as
formerly.
Hereupon the King hereby authorises the Treasury
Lords to give warrant to said Ryley, with the
approbation of two of the Justices of Peace of
co. Gloucester, to cut such scrubbed beech etc. as
above as may within seven years next ensuing raise
the full sum of 20,000l. ; that is to say 2,000l.
within one year hereof and 3,000l. for each of the
six succeeding years : and thereout the abovesaid
repairs at charges of 137l. 10s. 0d., 10l. 14s. 2d. and
219l. 12s. 0d. respectively are to be hereby done ;
and further hereby the allowance of wood to the
colliers there is to be continued to them by order
of the verderers and to be taken by view of the
woodward or keeper as formerly ; and further
thereout 500l. is hereby to be paid to Daniel Osborne,
esq., for and towards rebuilding the houses, shambles,
part of the Town Hall and other public buildings
of the town of Hedon, co. Yorks, which were burned
by a great fire there.
Further, after payment of the above, there shall
hereby be paid out of the proceeds as above 2,500l.
to Henry Guy for secret service without account.
All the rest of the moneys arising by the sales of
timber as above are hereby to be paid into the
Exchequer by the Surveyor of Woods from time
to time as it shall be raised.
Nothing herein is to hinder the privy seal of
1690, July 17, supra, pp. 738-9, for payment of 5,000l.
to the Treasurer of the Ordnance out of Dean
Forest and Whittlewood Forest. Finally the said
Ryley is to account for all his doings herein before
the Auditor for co. Gloucester as often as the
Treasury Lords shall require.
Appending : the abovesaid schedule of the parts of
the forest within which such timber as above may
be taken : viz. : Aywood ; Great Bourte and Little
Bourte ; Ruardeane Inclosure ; Blaysse Bayly ;
Bradley and Copes ; Viney Hill ; Blackney's Eaves
and Thorneyhill ; Morewood and Hangerbury ; Lee

Royal warrant to the Attorney or Solicitor General
for a privy seal for a grant to Captain Christopher

of the debt of 900l. 9s. 6d. due as follows for the
rent of the Lordship of Dyffryn Clwydd and town
of Ruthin from the estate of Richard Parry, late
receiver of the rents thereof ; and further of all
other moneys incurred therein or levied thereon
by said Parry ; and further of all the estate of the

of Coedmarchan [Coed Mawr], co. Denbigh, having
been appointed 1674, June 1, collector of the said
rents and of the arrears thereof, and having given
bond in 3,000l. thereon to Charles II, and it appearing
by the account of Godfrey Harcourt, late Receiver
General of Land Revenues for co. Denbigh, for the
year 1687 (which was some time after the death
of said Parry) that there was a super of 900l. 9s. 6d.
due from him, of which some small part has been
since answered ; and by an inquisition taken at
Llandegla, co. Denbigh, 1690, Nov. 4, before William
Robinson, sheriff of said county, it appears that
Parry at his death was seized of a capital messuage
called Vaynoll and divers other messuages and
lands in co. Denbigh. |
