November 1671

Nov. 4.
Whitehall.		 Matthew Wren to the Navy Commissioners. Capt. Berry has his instructions for sailing directing him to be in Yarmouth Roads by the 8th. He yet wants part of his victuals and payment of his men's tickets. The whole design of the voyage will be lost unless he be forthwith dispatched. And therefore I desire you will cause the victuals wanting to be immediately sent on board and also the tickets to be immediately paid, which cannot be delayed till they come to the Downs, for it is probable she will not so much as drop an anchor there. [S.P. Supplementary 137, No. 313.]
Nov. 8. Affidavit by St. John Clerke, attorney in the King's Remembrancer's office, that the prefixed accounts of moneys received by him by virtue of the Act for laying impositions on proceedings at law from 1 May, 1671, to the first day of Michaelmas term following are true. [S.P. Supplementary 135, No. 52.]
Nov. 25. Renouncement by Elizabeth Harris, widow of William Harris of Lanerthill, Monmouthshire, of the administration of her said husband's goods and desire by her that William Harris, her father-in-law, should accept it. [Ibid. No. 53.]
Nov. 30. The new Victuallers of the Navy to the Navy Commissioners. We accept the orders you are about to deliver to us on the following terms and no others, viz., we will do our utmost to raise money on them with the allowances propounded and return an account of our proceedings by 1 Jan. next with such orders as we cannot hope to raise money on. In the interim we have good grounds to believe we shall carry on the service, if the orders be delivered us in two or three days, but we cannot positively engage to perform what you now propound, viz., to undertake to carry on the service as if we had our full proportion of money according to contract. [S.P. Supplementary 137, No. 314.]
[Nov.]
Michaelmas Term.		 Information by George Twignall against Job Cornelionson for infringing the Acts establishing the Post Office by erecting a packet-boat and carrying letters from the Brill to Harwich and vice versa several times between 1 May and 23 June, 1671, whereby he has forfeited 420l., viz., 5l. for each of the said times and 100l. for each of the said four weeks that he has maintained the said packet-boat. Endorsed, Dutch Ambassador, 11/20 Jan., 70–71 (sic). [9 pages. S.P. Dom., Car. II. 441, No. 83.]

Durham, for his chaplain, William Flower, in case it should become void by the promotion of the Dean of Carlisle, the present incumbent, to the bishopric of Bristol, request to his lordship for an order that no presentation thereof pass to Mr. Flower's prejudice. [Ibid. No. 84.]
[Nov. ?] References to the Lords of the Treasury of the petitions of Sir Robert Dallyson and Thomas Gunter. In the latter case they are to inform themselves how far and in what sort he was serviceable to his Majesty in his happy escape.
