Treasury reference to the Barons of the Exchequer, Scotland, of the petition of four Messengers at the Receipt of the Exchequer shewing that they are directed to circulate her Majesty's Proclamations through England and Wales: that after the Union they did for some time circulate her Majesty's Proclamations and Orders in Council through Scotland and had paid to them out of the Hanaper 30l. for each Proclamation and Order of Council: that as the said allowance increased [swelled] the charge of the Hanaper they were directed upon issuing any Proclamations under the great seal to transmit a sufficient number of copies to her Majesty's Solicitor at Edinburgh to be by him disbursed in Scotland, for which service they have only been allowed 12l.: that in pursuance of said order they have transmitted sufficient numbers of copies of several Proclamations and Orders to "the Solicitors" at Edinburgh to be by them dispersed in Scotland, "but they would not be prevailed on to undertake that service nor be at the expense thereof, so that petitioners were forced to do the same" and the said service had been neglected had it not been for the petitioners, in which they were at great expense: therefore praying directions how the Proclamations shall be disposed of in Scotland for the time to come and to be paid for those dispersed by them "according to the allowance that was first made which at the rate of 18l. for each circulation amounts for the whole to 468l."

William Lowndes to Mr. Granville [Secretary at War] to prepare a royal warrant to authorise the payment to the Officers of the Regiments (whether here or abroad) who were taken prisoners in Spain of so much as their subsistence to the 22nd Oct. last amounts to: but with a clause that the said money is to be charged to the said Regiments upon account only so that it may be afterwards placed to the proper heads according to the circumstances of each Regiment: all in accordance with the report from the Comptrollers of Army Accounts on the memorial of Mr. Brydges touching said subsistence.

Dec. 28. William Lowndes to Mr. Granville [Secretary at War]. Some weeks ago my Lord Treasurer acquainted you that money was ordered upon account of raising recruits for the Regiments abroad, and desired that notice might be given to the Officers to repair to the Pay Office to receive it for that purpose. My Lord desires you to attend him to-day by 12 o'clock at farthest with an account in writing of the directions that have been given to the said Officers for making their said recruits and as near as you can how far they have proceeded therein, with your opinion what further orders may be necessary or conducive to the better carrying on that service. Out Letters (General) XX, p. 77.
Same to Mr. Brydges [Paymaster of the Forces Abroad]. A good while since my Lord Treasurer directed a sum of 20,000l. to be applied for the furnishing a magazine of forage for the Forces in Flanders. He directs you to attend him here to-day by 12 o'clock at farthest with a report in writing of the accounts you have received from your Deputies of the payment or application of the said moneys to that use. He also directs you to give him a state of the clothing as it now stands, taking notice therein of the payments lately ordered for the same out of the South Sea Stock: and likewise that you bring with you a list of the Regiments to whom you paid the moneys which were directed some weeks ago for recruits, with the sum each Regiment hath received on that account. Ibid.
Same to the Victualling Commissioners. My Lord Treasurer has received a memorial from the Admiralty Lords, transmitted by Secretary Dartmouth, relating to the supplying of Gibraltar [Garrison] with provisions. He directs that for whatsoever has been expended in the Victualling Office (and is now unsatisfied) or that shall be laid out there for victualling the landmen at Gibraltar you keep particular and distinct accompts [thereof] and transmit them to my Lord from time to time, to the end directions may be given for satisfying the same out of money given for the service of the war in Spain and Portugal. Ibid.
Dec. 28. Warrant by Treasurer Oxford to the Surveyor General of Crown Lands for a particular and ratal of premises, ut supra, p. 491, being a messuage and lands called Kirstall Ings, alias Folly Ings, in the city of York, in order to a new lease thereof to William Wickham.
Prefixing. report by said Surveyor General on said Wickham's petition for same. On the 11th July 1696 the late Master and Chaplains of the Dissolved Hospital of the Savoy demised a moiety of the messuage to Mary Ibbotson. By another lease which has been laid before me dated 1695 June 28 the said Master and Chaplains granted to Henry Staynton (guardian and trustee for Ann Hill and Mary Hill) the other moiety, which moiety now rests in the said Wickham. Neither of the said leases specify the consideration money nor the extent of the land "which method appears to have been the parctice of the said Master and Chaplains and seems intended to conceal from others as much as in them lay the true value of the Hospital estates; which in some measure happens in this case and will in all others of the same kind until the records, books, rent rolls, surveys and other evidences relating thereto be recovered into the hands of the proper officers for her Majesty's service. Wherefore I humbly hope your Lordship will be pleased to give your commands that the same may be forthwith delivered to me by them in whose custody they now are.

Prefixing: report by the Commissioners for Taxes on the petition of said William, ut supra, p. 333. By a report of the late Agents for Taxes dated 1709 Aug. 27 to the late Lord Treasurer [Godolphin] grounded on an [private] Act of Parliament of 7 Anne, c. 19, it appeared that petitioner's father sustained a great loss by the returns of money and there had been raised out of his estate 4,768l. 17s. 0d. which was paid into the Exchequer and the estate was charged with a debt of 1,200l. besides what was due to the Crown and that petitioner's mother and several children were to be maintained out of what remained: and by petitioner's care he had reduced his father's debt to 3,492l. 12s. 7d. in prosecution of which he had expended 1,200l., wherefore the said Agents recommended a composition of 600l. for the said balance. As petitioner has been at further expense in passing another Act of Parliament [private Act 9 Anne, c. 2] to rectify the mistake in the former Act we have no objection to the said composition. Ibid., pp. 334–5.
