May 15 Report to the King from Treasurer Clifford on the petition of Sir William Kerr (as by the order of reference of April 9), who prays a remission and confirmation of a grant from James I. of certain debateable lands lying between England and Scotland. The said lands called Wester Stalford alias Whitefield and Halden Rigg, co. Northumberland, were granted by King James 1606-7, 2 Jan., to Sir George Ramsey and Thomas Lumsden and their heirs for ever. On inquisition they were found to contain 1,200 acres valued at 49l. per an. It further appears that there was a patent of grant of the premises passed under the Great Seal of Scotland, in June 1660, to said Sir William Kerr : by which the said lands in part or in all seem to lie within the kingdom of Scotland ; and thereof seisin was delivered unto him pursuant to the said patent as belonging to him by grant derived from said Ramsey and Lumsden.

For several years past letters have been written to you on this. Out of respect I give you this further instruction to see the arrears in the hands of any collector paid to Henry Brabant, Receiver General thereof, and to forthwith transmit the duplicates for the whole county to the King's Remembrancer's office.
