July 1674

July 1. Caveat that no grant pass of the offices about Somerset House nor of any other place in the disposal of the Lord Chamberlain without notice to the Earl of Arlington. With memorandum of certain offices granted by the Earl of St. Albans and passed with the Earl of Arlington's consent. [S.P. Dom., Entry Book 72, p. 73.]
July 10. Notice by Aaron Smith, solicitor for the defendant in the Earl of Warwick and Holland v. Joseph Garrett, that the defendant intends to move that the plaintiff may bring before the Master the books of accounts exhibited to Robert Thornehill at his examination on behalf of the plaintiff against the defendant. [S.P. Supplementary 135, No. 106.]
July 18. Order in Edward Watkins (?) v. Walter Price with the consent of the parties that the deeds and writings brought into Court by virtue of an order of 12 Feb. last be delivered out to Thomas Gunter, the defendant's solicitor, to be used by both or either parties at the next Monmouthshire assizes and that in the meantime the defendant is to give the plaintiff authentic copies thereof and is to deliver to the plaintiff to be copied all other writings in his possession or which he can come by concerning the premises in question, whereby both parties may make use thereof in a cause of ejectment at the said assizes by the lessee of William Watkins against the plaintiff. [Ibid. No. 107.]
[July ?] [Patrick Archer to (?) Sir Joseph Williamson.] The debt of 6,294l. from his Majesty to Patrick Archer has been passed and settled by several orders from his Majesty and Council these eleven years, and particularly three years ago on Archer's two petitions and two references to the Lords of the Treasury and their two reports the said debt was confirmed and settled by them and an order was directed to the Earl of Arlington to direct his Majesty's letter to the then Lord Lieutenant and Lord Treasurer of Ireland to pay the same in five years by instalments of 1,250l. a year and 44l. for the sixth year with interest till repayment half yearly com mencing at Michaelmas, 1669, notwithstanding which the payment thereof is now put off till 1675 and Lord Aungier, then ViceTreasurer of Ireland, in giving in the charge of that kingdom, delivered in only the principal but never mentioned the interest and instalments, so that Lord Ranelagh by his contract is not obliged to pay any interest for the said debt. Archer's desire therefore is that the interest may be secured on the 80,000l. payable by Lord Ranelagh in December, 1675, and that the word interest in the said order may be explained to mean Irish interest as Archer pays to Sir R. Vyner and many other creditors and as his Majesty allowed Sir Maurice Eustace and others. [S.P. Dom., Car. II. 441, No. 154.]
[Aug. ?] Lady Vere Wilkinson to Robert Ferguson. You obliged us by your kindnesses in all conditions to your servant Robin, who continues in the good state wherein he parted from you but is solicitous to know how it is with you and your family, the sick and well and the little gentleman that was last taken ill. I was at the admission of Mr. Learner (Lardner) into our society yesterday and heard the good confession he gave in in writing, wishing I could live to see the like good work in and upon my own young man. Whether I do or not, I hope I shall die in the comfort of covenant mercy with God. My husband and I return you and Mrs. Ferguson grateful acknowledgements.
Postscript.—I desire to know how you do with your cold as that which was yesterday represented by Dr. Owen in the church to be very dangerously troublesome to you in particular and as being taken in our meeting-place was given in as an instance of the inconveniency of the place, in order to their speedy provision of a better. (See Cal. S.P. Dom., 1673–75, pp. 324, 325.) [Ibid. No. 155.]
