March 1606
Ralph Cox to the Earl of Salisbury. | ||||
[After March 3, 1605–6]. |
He requests to be given the benefit
of the wardship and marriage of the heir of Laurence Haddock, late
of Horton, co. Yorks., deceased.—Undated. ½ p. (P. 432.) [Commission for Inq. P.M. issued on March 3, 1605–6. See PRO, Wards 9, Vol. 170, fo. 59b.] |
|||
The foreign curriers to the Privy Council. | ||||
[Before March 14, 1605–6]. |
They refer to the action of the
freemen curriers in procuring an act in the late Parliament which
curtailed the trade and livelihood of the foreign curriers. In
response to a petition from the latter, the Privy Council referred
the matter to the Lord Mayor of London with the object of either
affiliating the foreign to the freemen curriers, or achieving some
modus vivendi between them. The Lord Mayor failed in his
mediation and matters have been allowed to drift, with the result
that petitioners and their families face ruin and starvation. Since
it appears that the freemen curriers "are of an ungodlye disposition" petitioners beg the Council to issue an order that they
be not interfered with, nor the shoemakers who employ them
molested, until their case be raised again in Parliament.—Undated. ¾ p. (196. 114.) [See The Journals of the House of Commons, Vol. I, p. 352.] |
|||
The same to the Earl of Salisbury. | ||||
[Before March 14, 1605–6]. |
In the late Parliament an act was
passed which declared that, "noe artifecers usinge, workinge or
cuttinge of leather dwelling within the saide Citty [of London]
and three miles compas of the same shoulde putt anye leather to
be corried to anye person but onlie to suche as were fremen of the
saide Companie of Corriors of London". This prohibition has
threatened all curriers living within that radius with complete
ruin and the consequent starvation of their families. They beg
Salisbury to take the necessary measures in the Parliament, which
has now assembled, to rescind the act, so that they may be allowed
to earn their living at their old trade which they and their predecessors have practised since time immemorial. They appeal for
his assistance in respect that they are too poor to prefer a bill in
Parliament themselves, so much so "that they can scarce gett
breade to feede themselves withall nor att the weeks end to paie
the debts they owe for their victualls".—Undated. Endorsed: "The humble petition of the forreine corriors inhabyting neare unto the Cittye of London." ½ p. (196. 115.) [See Statutes at Large, Vol. II, Cap. XXII (1602), pp. 975–983.] |

||||
Lewis Eynon to the Earl of Salisbury. | ||||
[Before March 18, 1605–6]. |
He is a Yeoman of the Guard.
A debt of £614:14 has been long due to him by the King, and it is
the only means he possesses to support a wife and ten children,
except his pay as a Yeoman. He has petitioned the Lord
Treasurer for its payment, but lack of money has prevented it.
Petitioner has consequently been in danger of finding himself taken
and imprisoned by his own creditors, who have asked permission
to do so from the Lord Chamberlain and Lord Dirleton, the Captain
of the Guard. The debt represents money disbursed by him for
the Treasurer of Ireland. He requests Salisbury to further the
suit which he proposes to submit to the Privy Council.—Undated. ½ p. (P. 1057.) |
|||
George Grimes to the Earl of Salisbury. | ||||
[After March 18, 1605–6]. |
He is in the service of Viscount
Fentoun, and informs Salisbury that hearing a certain Laurence
Woodward of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields making defamatory statements about Mr Brian, one of Viscount Cranborne's servants, he
"in friendly manner reproved him". For his pains he was
insulted, attacked and beaten up by Woodward and one of his
confederates, who also maltreated his wife. As a result he is confined to his bed, and cannot follow his master's business on the
occasion of the progress. He is indignant that he has been so
abused by "a base fellow that keepes a tiplinge howse and that
very disorderlie", and asks that Salisbury summon Woodward
before him and punish him in an exemplary manner.—Undated. ¾ p. (P. 1091.) |
|||
Steel. | ||||
[After March 18, 1605–6]. |
"My Lord Treasurer was made
acquainted with the matter of steel by one Ball. Afterwards, my Lord Fenton was acquainted with it and imbraced it by means of one Kendal. His wyf lyeth at the house of one Brabant, an atturney in Milford Lane. Barkesdal is a merchant in London. He knowes not where he dwels, but his wyf doth. Sir James Crighton is the party that deales with my Lord Fenton. He hath a knyfe of this new kind of steele. He hath acquainted one Mathew a cutler by Fleet Brige with this secret."—Undated. Endorsed: "Concerning a new invention of steele." ½ p. (130. 178.) [See H.M.C. Salisbury MSS, Vol. XIX, pp. 393, 394 and 397.] |
|||
Steel. | ||||
[? After March 18, 1605–6]. |
Notes on the different kinds of
steel, the uses to which they are put, the variety of tools, instruments and domestic goods manufactured from them, and the
expediency of converting certain iron products into steel.—Undated. Endorsed: "Concerning the differences of steeles." 1 p. (130. 177.) |
|||
John Roper to the Earl of Salisbury. | ||||
[After March 31, 1606]. |
Concerning the misdemeanours of John
Anderton, Justice of the Peace. When 30 persons committed a
burglary in petitioner's house at night time, wounding him and
two of his sons, he asked Anderton to assist him in arresting some
of the guilty party and disclosed their names and addresses.
Anderton refused, and so allowed the criminals to escape. Moreover, when the late Queen Elizabeth died, Anderton and four
others "tooke the Bible and service booke out of Leiland church
and bestowed them in an alehowse, and thereby hindred the
publique service and prayers to God for his Matie, by which recusants taking encouragement twoe masses were said the next
Sunday in that towne or parrishe". When a sermon was arranged
for St. James Day, in honour of the King's coronation, one hundred
people armed with guns entered the church and disturbed the
preacher. A complaint was made to Anderton, who declined to
punish the offenders. Petitioner adds that all these charges were
proved by deposition under the hand of Sir Urien Leigh and other
commissioners in the Court of the Star Chamber. He himself is
80 years old, and the prosecution of the case in that court has
impoverished him. Besides, Anderton has been able, by means
of his influence and wealth, to prevent any date being fixed for the
hearing of the case. He requests Salisbury to intervene with the
Lord Chancellor that a day be appointed for the examination of
the matter in Michaelmas term next.—Undated. 1 p. (197. 52.) [See PRO, Star Chamber Proceedings, James I, 252/2.] |
|||
Sir Edward Clere to the King. | ||||
[? March, 1605–6]. |
He requests him to accept satisfaction from
Sir Thomas Parry as to his conduct towards the ambassadors, since
he was present at the meeting. The honour which petitioner
received in the presence of the French King was bestowed without
the slightest reflection on or discredit to the allegiance he owed to
his own sovereign. It was a recognition of Clere's relationship to
the late Queen Elizabeth, revealed by Count Beaumont, of King
James's favours to the French Ambassador, and of Clere's lineal
descent from the Earls of Clermont. He asks to be released from
prison, where he has been detained for three weeks and hindered
from attending to his duties in Parliament.—Undated. Endorsed: "The humble petition of Sir Edward Clere, knight, prisoner in ye Marshalsea". 1 p. (P. 210.) [See Cal. S.P. Dom., 1603–10, p. 307.] |
|||
Michael Borstade to the King. | ||||
[Before April, 1606]. |
He is a native of Odislo (Oslo) and a
subject of the King of Denmark. For a long time he has been a
suitor to the King of England concerning his ship, the Spreadeagle,
which was seized on the high seas with her cargo of masts in the
reign of the late Queen Elizabeth. He produced letters written
on his behalf by the King of Denmark, and was granted his suit on
the condition that he produced irrefutable evidence that the ship
was his. He has produced valid certificates to that effect for Sir
Julius Caesar, (fn. 2) Master of Requests, and also proved that neither
the ship nor the cargo was the property of a Spaniard and, therefore,
not subject to confiscation. He requests to have his ship restored
to him in accordance with the King's promise to the Duke of
Holstein.—Undated. ½ p. (P. 1061.) |
|||
Captain Francis Clayton to the Earl of Salisbury. | ||||
[Before April 3, 1606]. |
He has been forced to spend much
money on surgical treatment for the wounds which he received on
active service during the late Queen Elizabeth's reign, and has
been driven to the extremity of having to pawn the patent of the
small pension bestowed on him through the kind intervention of
Salisbury. In regard of the service performed by his deceased
father, Captain William Clayton, and his eighteen sons in the Irish
wars, of whom 13 lost their lives, and of the 28 years' service
completed by petitioner himself in Ireland, "I am an humble
suitor in this Parliament for a small allowance of two shillings out
of every Stage play that shalbe acted, and twelve pence out of
every showe of strange beasts as Bavians [baboons] and such like
within the citty and suburbs of London, to be paid unto mee or
