November 1668

Nov. 4. Receipt for an anchor brought into the stores at Deptford by William Gilluin, master of the William and Mary, formerly lent out of the stores at Harwich. [Ibid. No. 165.]
Nov. 8.
Deptford.
John Cox to Samuel Pepys. What you desire in yours of the 7th I shall see performed. I heard there was an order from the Board for repairing the house, but know not who received it. [Ibid. No. 166.]
Nov. 9.
Deptford.
John Cox and J. Uthwat to the Navy Commissioners. We have enquired of several of the officers of the Assurance touching the two anchors claimed by the boatswain. They all affirm they were seized by the Assurance's men at an island in the West Indies in the French custody called Kyan (Cayenne). They are old anchors and we believe they were none of the King's. [Ibid. No. 167.]
Nov. 12. Ann Harper to the Navy Commissioners. Repeating her request for the house at Deptford and for an order for her late husband's salary. [Ibid. No. 168.]
Nov. 23. Thomas Turner, storekeeper, to the Navy Commissioners. I know not of any demands from Portsmouth in my hands but what is entered in my book left with Mr. Hayter, but I presume the demand required is that Col. Middleton received. Your last warrant was to send to Portsmouth 4,000 deals and 40 wainscots, of which the wainscots are already gone and 2,000 of the deals and the remainder are ready to be shipped. Mr. Uthwat thinks there will be a want of canvas at Portsmouth. We have a great quantity of noyals and Holland duck in store at Deptford, if you think fit to send any by this opportunity. [Ibid. No. 169.]
[1668, Nov.] Warrant for Sir George Carteret, Vice-Treasurer of Ireland, to furnish Dr. Robert Gorge[s] with any sum not exceeding 200l., any order, etc., to the contrary notwithstanding, the Commissioners for inspecting and examining the receipts and issues of the revenue in Ireland having found it necessary to send him over to search the offices of record there and from thence to inform the King what the certain and casual revenue has been from 1660 inclusive with the receipts, expenses and arrears of each year respectively and to send authentic transcripts of all warrants, debentures and other vouchers for payment of any moneys within that time either within or without the establishments. (See Calendar of Treasury Books, Vol. II, pp. 472, 630.) [Draft. S.P. Ireland, Car. II. 349, No. 15.]
