Same (in the absence of William Lowndes) to the [Principal] Officers of the Ordnance. Secretary Boyle has (by the Queen's orders) sent to the Lord Treasurer your report on the petition of Lewis Du Terme whom the Earl of Peterborough, when Commander in Chief in Spain, appointed to be Lieut. Col. of the [Artillery] Train there. The Lord Treasurer has ordered him 300l. in consideration of his service and for all [his] pretences to pay for the time he so served. If a royal warrant is necessary for the payment thereof please procure it at once so that Duterme (who is going on further service as the Lord Treasurer understands) may have his money to assist him therein. Out Letters (General) XIX, p. 93.
July 23. J. Taylour (in the absence of William Lowndes) to the Attorney General to report on the enclosed petition [missing] of the executors of Henry, late Lord Dover concerning a contract for the purchase of a fee farm rent for which the consideration money was paid but the contract not perfected. How does this matter stand with relation to the Act 1 Anne [the Civil List Act of 1 Anne, c. 1] for preserving the inheritance of the Crown? Out Letters (General) XIX, p. 93.
Same (in the absence of William Lowndes) to the Stamps Commissioners of the petition of Joshua Claver landwaiter in Hull port and distributor of stamped paper for the East Riding of Yorkshire, which [latter office] he has now laid down, both his securities being dead insolvent: shewing that he has had great losses by the death and failure of under distributors and is deficient in his accounts and is served with a scire facias in the Exchequer: therefore praying delay. Reference Book VIII, p. 365.
Treasury reference to the Agents for Taxes of the petition of Edward Conway, Receiver General of Land Tax anno 1709 for Cos. Chester, Denbigh and Flint, proposing his security as Receiver General of the Duties on Houses for said counties. Affairs of Taxes I, pp. 111, 188.
Treasurer Godolphin to the Duke of Montrose in reply to his received some time ago concerning the ship Industry of Leith seized in 1707. In a second report thereon the Customs Commissioners of Scotland inform me that the parties did judicially confess their crime, upon which the ship and cargo were condemned and (to the great surprise of the said Commissioners) the same were sold to the proprietors for no more than 2,450l. although computed to be worth 5,047l. and the petitioners readily gave bond to answer the said 2,450l. by a day long since elapsed. I cannot but be of opinion they have already had more favour than they could reasonably expect and I can therefore by no means advise remission of the Queen's moiety of the seizure, being very sensible that any the least encouragement to unfair traders will be of infinite prejudice to the revenue and the greatest injustice and discouragement to honest dealers. Out Letters (North Britain) II, p. 80.

Queen's Warrant Book XXIV, p. 100.
Same to the Clerk of the Signet for a privy seal to grant to John Duke of Newcastle full and free licence and liberty to make a park of the lands proposed by him in the forest of Sherwood, to wit at least 3,000 acres of his own lands of inheritance and wherein no other person hath any right of common; the circuit or pale thereof to take in “part of Clumber, part of Hardwick, part of Bothemsal alias Normanton and part of Carburton,” the said pale to begin near Butterworth Haggs at the north west corner of Clumberwood and go down to the river called Clumber River south, taking in all Clumber Wood, and so go over the said river still south partly in a straight line abutting on Carburton Town and Closes west to a great road that leads out of Derbyshire to Retford, then turning east on by the said road along the top of Clumber Ground which is separated from Thoresby Grounds by the said Great Road and on by the said road into Bothemsal alias Normanton Sheepwalk and with a slanting line through the said sheepwalk to the lower end of Hardwick Carr where there is a little pale and then cross the same river north and go on still slanting up to the great Cole Cart Road that goes on by the north side of Hardwick Woods and then turning westward to enclose the whole of Hardwick Wood and on by the said great Coal Cart Road to the place where the pale is to begin, abutted on this side by Worksop grounds on the north. Further in order to the making of the pale of the said intended park a riding is to be cut through “our decayed wood at Berkland” and the timber therefrom to be applied to the cost of said pale and the remainder of the cost of said pale to be supplied out of the said Duke's own woods, as also for the building of lodges, houses, barns and other conveniences for the said park.
Further the said Duke having “represented to us that the present charges we are at for our said forest of Sherwood is 366l. per an, which was to be satisfied out of dotard trees to be cut down in the said forest, but that the means of raising the said money failing, the same has been paid only to Michaelmas 1707 and the said Duke hath therefore prayed that in consideration of making the park as is before proposed and of extinguishing the rent of such a quantity as 3,000 acres of his own lands as aforesaid and of finding and providing hay and pasture ground not only for the deer to be kept in the said park but for those in the forest also, and of paying all the keepers both in the park and forest their yearly wages and of defraying all other charges and expenses incident to both he may be allowed 1,000l. per an. during our natural life, to begin from 1707 Michaelmas; and that he the said Duke may be constituted Ranger of the said Park during our life with the herbage of the same; and that if the said 1,000l. per an. shall not be continued to be paid for the purposes aforesaid then [he] to have the enjoyment of his own lands again as in his present estate with the said pale and the lodges, houses, barns in the condition they shall then be in, and also that he may be at liberty to appoint such number of keepers and servants for looking after the said park and forest as he shall from time to time think convenient”: all which proposition having been referred to the Surveyor General of Crown Lands he has reported that by the affidavits of William Wenman, John Cossen, William Jessop and Robert Monckton the said 3,000 acres of land is wholly the inheritance of the said Duke and no other person whatsoever hath any right of common therein and that the making the said park will be so far from perjudicing any person that it will rather be a considerable advantage, ease and satisfaction to the inhabitants of that part of the country; and the Surveyor General of Woods, Trent North, has certified that such park will prevent the deer of offending the adjacent inhabitants who have made complaints thereabouts and that a riding may be cut across Birkland Wood the same bigness as the other (which is 80 yards wide) without any damage to the forest or wood provided it be made in the proper place: and that the Duke may be reasonably constituted Ranger with power to appoint officers both in the park and forest provided the present officers of the forest be not injured thereby and that there is no inconvenience in granting free chase and free warren in such park to the said Duke and his heirs.
The said proposal in all points as above is therefore hereby assented to and to be put in force hereby: with a special covenant on the part of the said Duke that for the considerations above detailed he shall assign and convey to trustees for the use of the Queen the said intended park with the lodges, houses, barns and other appurtenances during the term hereof (to wit for 99 years terminable on the Queen's life) and with a clause of contingent re-assumption to the said Duke of the said lands in manner as abovesaid: further the officers of the said forest are to certify the number of deer taken out of it for stocking the said park within six months; so that if the said 1,000l. per an. be not paid the said Duke may not be obliged to turn more deer into our said forest than shall appear by the said certificate to have been taken thereout for stocking the said park.

Prefixing: said Surveyor's report on said Boyle's memorial for same. “There was set out by me a small triangular piece of ground at the east end of the Wilderness which was leased to Mr. London on his being removed from the custody of the [Royal] Garden and Wilderness and whereon he hath made additional buildings and now lives therein: and part of the Royal Garden at the west end hath been very lately granted to Trustees for the Duchess of Marlborough. I have caused what remains of the Royal Garden and Wilderness ungranted to be surveyed and admeasured . . and a plan thereof made and hereto annexed [missing] and find the area or content thereof to be about 9 acres 1 rood 1 perch.” The house, besides the additions made by Mr. Boyle, is a low ordinary building made for a gardener's use.
