|
He exhibited to us a certificate
dated 28th February 1699 signed
by Thomas Taylor, Deputy Paymaster of the Works, addressed to
the Treasury Lords, being an
abstract of the said Mr. Webb's
account for the service, amounting
to the foresaid sum of 266l. 14s. 9d.
which seems to be pursuant to a
reference from the Treasury. |
| p. 133. |
He also claimed for his livery and
salary for the same time 150l.;
as to which we find that Peter
Tozaa and Mr. Anthony Rowe
who afterwards had the place of
Fowl Keeper successively one
after the other are returned by
the Great Wardrobe [as] in arrear
for their liveries there for the years
1698, 1699, 1700 and 1701 "after
the rate of 36l. 15s. 5d. per an.
And we find that the salary as
returned from the Treasurer of the
Chamber's Office to be due to Mr.
Anthony Rowe as Pond Keeper
is 30l. per an. And we also find
that the late King in the Treasury
26 November 1700 on reading Mr.
Webb's bill or demand as Fowl
Keeper promised to make him an
allowance for the time past in
proportion to the salary of the
then Fowl Keeper. |

John Goddard Esq., sometime
Governor of Bermudas, claims a
further allowance than what is
stated for him in the Exchequer

arrears are stated in the said
account) to the 17th August 1698
exclusive [being the date of] the
publication of Col. Day's commission, being 6 months and 33
days which at 240l. per an.
amounts to |
141 |
13 |
11½ |
|
By an extract of Col. Day's
commission from the Secretary of
State's Office it appears that on
the publication thereof in
Bermudas Col. Goddard's commission was to cease. And by
certificate from the secretary of
the Board of Trade and Plantations it appears that Col. Day
arrived at Bermudas the 16th
August 1698 and that his commission was published the next
day. |

be deducted out of the bill there
will rest due |
