Jan. 7. Henry Guy to Sir John Werden and Sir Nicholas Butler. The King and the Duke of York being present at the Treasury last week his Majesty ordered that you should make a declaration of trust concerning the money due from Col. Whitley to the King, which is granted to you by patent, viz. that two-thirds thereof is to be for the use of the Duke of York and one-third for the use of Mr. Frowde. The Treasury Lords desire you to execute this declaration. Out Letters (General) VIII, p. 18.
Same to Sir Benj. Bathurst. The Treasury Lords have received a letter from the Duke of Ormonde, enclosing the report of the Commissioners [for Defective Titles or] of the Court of Grace, Ireland, concerning the Duke of York's interest and the draft of the royal letter to the Lord Lieutenant and the list of lands (see supra, pp. 1355–7). The said Commissioners advise that there are some particulars in said draft fit to be altered. They will consider of same further next term and meanwhile will take care that the Duke does not suffer any inconvenience. Ibid, p. 19.
Jan. 7. Henry Guy to Mr. Fox and Mr. Blathwayte, enclosing the Navy Commissioners' letter sent to the Treasury Lords which contains the present practice or method of paying or giving allowances out of the chest at Chatham to people who have been maimed or wounded in the King's sea service. You are to consider same and to prepare a method in pro-portion for relieving persons that are come from Tangier. Out Letters (General) VIII, p. 19.
Appending: said letter dated Navy Office, Dec. 20 last. From information from the Governors of said Chest we find that the method observed for many years past and still continued at this day is as follows. Every person who has a leg or an arm lost or utterly disabled is allowed 6l. 13s. 4d. per an. for life. Where two arms are lost a pension of 15l. is allowed. Where two legs are lost the yearly pension is 13l. 6s. 8d. Where one arm and one leg is lost the pension is the same [as] where two legs are lost. For an arm disabled though continuing on 5l. per an. is allowed and for the loss of an eye 4l. per an. At the first settlement of each pensioner he receives the value of one whole year's pension as a gratuity for his present relief over and above his yearly pension. Where any persons have received wounds or hurts which occasion a fracture, contusion, impostumation or the like under [the value of] the loss of a limb they are viewed by the chururgeons belonging to the chest who certify what they judge is a reward proportionable to their hurt which is accordingly allowed in full satisfaction of the same. The like is done to those who have lost a limb (besides their annual pension) for any hurts which they may have otherwise received in their body. When any pensioner makes it his request to have a sum of money paid him in lieu of his pension the Governors of the Chest do buy his pension off by payment of two years' pension in full satisfaction thereof, at which time he is also paid the whole arrears of his pension then due. But this buying off of pensions is not practised to those who have lost a leg or an arm excepting only in the case of Scotch or Irish or others who live beyond the seas, who upon their earnest entreaty and in consideration of the charge they would be exposed to in appearing personally at a general pay of the Chest (which all pensioners are obliged to do once in three years) have their pensions bought off as aforesaid.

Treasury reference to the Surveyor General of Crown Lands of the petition of Sir William Neale, bart. as by a favourable reference dated Whitehall, Jan. 1 inst., to the Treasury Lords from the King, who retains a gracious sense of the many good services and of the great sufferings of petitioner; said petitioner shewing that on a former petition for a grant of such concealed lands, encroachments and wastes within the King's lordship and manor of Denbigh as belong to the King he had a reference thereon to the Treasury Lords and a commission [of inquiry] has issued and from the return thereof divers encroachments appear; but there are many more not yet discovered; that petitioner conceives that Rudland marsh bounded by the river Clwyd on the east, by Abergele on the west and by the main sea on the north and the firm land on the south (which is derelict lands and subject to the overflowing of the sea) lying in cos.
