Sir Philip Warwick to James Robins, Assaymaster of tin in Cornwall and Devon who has seized on several parcels of tin (although it has paid the coinage duty) because it is not carried to the Coinage Halls. In reply to said Robins' two letters informs him that the farm of the coinage is subject to a revocation on condition of the Crown paying the patentees 500l. a year for the unexpired time. "There is another provision likewise that the tynners shall carry their tynn to the coynage halls &c. which is the thing you complain of to be omitted in your letter. But things that have bin long out of the way cannot be soone reduced without some inconviencies for a season. And therefore those that are His Majesty's officers and farmers ought to keepe that faire correspondence with each other as to reduce things into order without misunderstandings or quarrells. This I say because the farmers of the coynage here conceive your proceeding to be their great disadvantage and requires that both of the tynners and them which is impossible for the present to be performed." Encloses a paper of the farmers' reasons for the above opinion showing that the coinage halls are unserviceable, and both beams and weights wanting, and that by reason of the tinners casting their tin into less moulds than formerly that which was formerly done cannot at present be done. Exhorts every endeavour to reduce things into their former channel, and in the mean time to carry that respect to each other as fairly to agree some rules as may prevent any frauds in relation to His Majesty's revenue. Prays him to meet Mr. Ennys on behalf of the farmers to arrange the matter amicably. Ibid, pp. 237–9.
Appending:—Copy of the said paper of reasons from the Farmers of tin. By the Strangers Custome every block or slab of tin must be 3–400[lb.] weight. It will be impossible before Midsummer next to provide new moulds and carriages to enable the tinners to bring their tin to the coinage towns according to the custom of the Stannaries. "The Lord Treasurer is alsoe desired to take notice that it is not a 1,000l. will soe repayre the severall coynage halls that they shalbe fitt to secure the tynn when brought there, that of Lostwithiell in particular being ready to fall into the pitt. Neither is there beames, scales or weights in being fitt to weigh any man's tynn soe that the farmers of the coynage duty doe not untill Midsomer next at shortest receive the King's duty in the blowing houses and give their tickets for it to the tinner there His Majesty cannot receive his 2,000l. per an. from the farmers" as the tinners cannot before that time be furnished with the necessary new moulds. Further, many poor tinners will give over working by reason of the charge, trouble and inconveniency of bringing tin to the coinage towns.
