43. Petition of the prisioners in the King's Bench and Fleet to
Sir Rob.Cecil. Nine years since, your father was a means to Her
Majesty to grant a commission for the relief of the poor distressed
prisioners in the King's Bench and Fleet, and the commissioners
have dutifully laboured in the same. Yet the said commission is
contemptuously maligned and impurgned by divers ill-disposed persons, who threaten the commissioners with the statutes of Premunire,
and grievously molest, vex, and sue them for the forfeiture of lands
and goods to Her Majesty, and corporal punishment therein contained; whereby the said commissioners are put in such great fear
that they flatly deny to execute the tenor of the said commission,
until Her Majesty grant them a full and absolute dispensation against
the said statutes; for this they are enforced to sue to Her Highness,
and hope, for the preservation of themselves from miserably perishing by pestilence and famine, and their wives, children, and families
from utter undoing, that you will join with your most honourable
father for their relief. |

you and the rest of the justices for Suffolk, divers recusants of that
county were restrained, amongst whom Edw. and Robt. Rockwood,
Roger Martin, John Daniel, and Mrs. Eliz. Drury were committed to
your custody. As you have certified that such persons have behaved
themselves dutifully since their commitment, save only in matters
of religion, and as they have been long restrained, and have made
humble suit to be enlarged, you are to set them at liberty, taking
bonds in good sums for their forthcoming within 10 days warning.

49. Dudley Carleton to John Chamberlain, at Dr. Gilbert's. I
have been over-entered by my brother to go with him into the
county to-day; I more willingly yielded, having happened upon a
horse which was to be sent to Rycot. I will write from thence, concerning going into France, or anywhere else. I would gladly have
taken leave of you, but it was my ill hap to miss you at your
chamber in Paul's and at my cousion Dormer's. I send the discourse
I lent you of Mr. Bodley's, and if you will send me the relation of
the combat between the French and the Dutch, it will be a very

had he known of them. Pray send Mr. Perry with a warrant for the
remain in the ship till orders. |
|
52. Ro. Robinson (alias Wm. Sterrell) to Thos. Phelippes. I send
you the enclosed that you may know what I write, and mend
anything you think unfit. As Burkett is so far off, it might be
better to send Cloudesley beyond, sea, and on his return, pretend he
comes from York. I will charge him not to show you my letters.
as I deal only for the Catholic cause, but to do as he likes about
others, so we shall see whether he will show them. Send me
Fitz[herbert's] cipher. |

58. "Reasons against any innovations, either for engrossing of
all the tin of Cornwall, or over-burdening the same with new impositions." That the buying of the tin is sought at under value,
whereas the Queen's prerogative is only to have the first buying at
the common price. Brockhouse, who obtained this prerogative, was
a deceiver, and never executed it. Sir George Carey got the tinners'
consent to buy all thier tin by offering 25l. the 1,000 lbs., when the
prices was 21l. or 22l,. but for them to sell at 25l. when the price is 29l.
or 30l. would be to their loss; and it will rise, because tin decreases
in Germany, whilst the sale of it in France increase, Also the mines
growing deeper, the cost of getting in increases, and if the price decreased,
creased, many mines would cease to work. The Queen has the tenth
of the value of tin in coinage, whereas on other goods she has only
a twentieth for custom. By their [the tinners'] charter, nothing
should be done to their prejudice, without consent of a chosen num
ber. Devonshire tin is not subject to this pre-empton, and only
pays a third of what is paid in Cornwall for coinage; and it would
be a great grief if they could sell at 30l. and Cornwall be forced to
sell at 25l. If the undertakers pay 1,000l. a year, they cannot sell
tin at less than 36l. or 40l., which raise the general price.
If the tinners were displeased, they would not work as usual, and
then the undertakers would never pay the rent, and the Queen would
not gain, for the coinage duty was 4,000l. The merchants of London
do not exact excessive usuary on the tinners, only 10 or 6 per cent.,
and some lend only to be repaid in tin. [2¼ pages.] |
|
59. Statement that all seals and stamps for Her Majesty's service
should be graven by the graver of the Mint, by warrant from the
Exchequer to the Warden of the Mint, and that by neglect of this
order, many counterfeit seals are issued. In remedy thereof the
sheriffs of counties should order all officers using seals to present
them on a certain day at the Mint, that enquiry may be made about
such as are counterfeit or worn, and new seals taken out in lieu
thereof, by a writ from the Queen to the Warden of the Mint. |

|
62.Address by the Remembrancer of the Exchequer to the Queen
urging suggestions made bt himself 20 years before, for alterations
and emendations in the manner of keeping the accounts; citing
proofs and reasons why the accounts of the Hanaper, Imprests, Mint,
great Wardrobe, and others should be delivered into the Court, and
pass through the Remembrancer's office into that of the clerk of the
pipe, as do the accounts of the Household and Customs; such a course
being more for the Queen's service, and for the surety and ease of the
parties. With regulations proposed for the debts and accounts of
times past, and those of times to come. Endorsed, "Concerning
debts." [By Cecil; 5 pages, with initials and flourishings gilded.] |
|
63. Statement that the saltpetre men, if they may have a commission as liberal as Mr. Evelyn, will give a penny a pound for 21 years,
so that if 300 lasts be made yearly, there will be a gain of 3,000l.;
and will get their saltpetre for five or six years from Wales, without
troubling the subject. The gunpowder men offer 2d. a pound, and
to provide the Queen 80 lasts of powder at 8d. a pound, and 80
lasts at 7½d. Also an offer is made to pay to the Queen 6l. a
ton custom on export of iron ordnance, being 40s. more than is now
paid, and 20s. on what is sold in England, and also to pay to the
patentee similarly 40s. or 20s. a ton. The patent to Mr. Neville
and others was for 21 years, of which six are past; Mr. Sackville
now holds the patent, but it being revocable at pleasure, Mr.
Sackville should be compounded with to surrender it, and to have
20s. on ordnance transported, and 10s. on that sold at home. |
|

ordnance officers to their clerks, for taking the remains of the ships,
which were cut off by Sir George Carew at his discretion. [2½ pages.] |

Bill and Answer in Chancery, in the case of Thos. Brooke,
plaintiff, and John Daniell defendant. The plaintiff pretends that
his father died possessed of a lease of the rectory of Runcorn, co.
Chester, made by the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, Oxford,
which came to him as executer; and that he was so possessed until
the defendant procured another lease from the Dean and Chapter for
21 years, of the tithes of certain townships, parcel of the said
rectory of Runcorn, under pretence that the same were concealed
from them. and no rent paid, whereas they would never have leased
the same to the defendant, if they had known it had been conveyed
to the plaintiff as parcel of Runcorn rectory. The defendant pretends
that he was an earnest suitor to the Dean and Chapter to obtain a
lease of their tithe barn in Preston, and of all their tithe corn in
Preston, Halton, Astmore, Sutton, and other places named near
Deresbury, which tithes were parcel of the rectory of Runcorn,
and then possessed under a void lease. The point in question
is, whether the defendant, before he procured the lease from the
Dean and Chapter, acquainted them that the said tithes were parcel
of the rectory of Runcorn, and were contained in the plaintiff's
lease, because if so, the Dean and Chapter would not have granted
the lease to the defendant; some of the Chapter depose that neither
the rectory of Runcorn, nor the plaintiff nor his lease were ever
named in the defendant's suit in obtaining his lease. With the
pleadings and evidence on both sides, and many notes, [some in the
handwriting of John Daniell, some of Lord Keeper Puckering 5
sheets. Case F., Eliz. No.7.] |
|
65. Note of 19 white swans and 5 eygnets upon the river Lee,

66. "A brief note how the estate of the lands belonging to the
barony of the Lord Vaux hath been settled and dispossed of by the
said Lord Vaux, and by his eldest son, Henry Vaux." Showing that
they were entailed on his children by his first wife,[John] Beaumont's
daughter, which were Henry and several daughters. That Henry
conveyed them to his father for life, with remainder to George Vaux,
a son of Lord Vaux by a second marriage with [Mary] Tresham, and
his sons, but with power to sell lands for advancement of Lord
Vaux's children, but not for payment of debts. Their Lordships
[the Council] should consider whether these lands should be sold for
payment of the debts, of Lord Vaux or George Vaux, who have only
a life inheritance. Endorsed, "Sir John Roper's petition touching
the Lord Vaux." |
|
67. Articles objected against Hen. Sankey curate at Deresbury,
as being riotous and profligate, a gambler, drunkard, &c., &c. [1½
pages.] |
|
68. Statement of particulars of the grant made to Sir John Stanley,
of the Isle of Man, 7 Henry IV., and of its descent since. Ferdinand,
Earl of Derby, left all his lands to his Countess, half for life, half duiring
widowhood; therefore, if the island be in fee simple, the Countess
has an estate in it. The present Earl offers her 5,000l. for her estate
and her dower; 8,000l. to her eldest, and 6,000l. to her other two
daughters on their majority, the Queen to have the fee simple of
their lands, which fall in wardship during minority; but if the
Countess's estate in the island is of no force, the Earl is paying for
nothing. Mr. Stanley being dead, the captain wants to know what
the evidences of the rights are. Endorsed,"E. Derby; Sir Rob.
Cecil." [1½ pages.] |
|
69. Arguments as to the validity of a lease of Bersted to the
Bishop [of Norwich], granted by the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, on a fine of 100 marks; they do not wish the Bishop to have
the lease, as being ill deserving, though he claims it as matter of
desert. [See infra, Vol. CCLVI., No. 34.] |
|
70. Note of the number of parish churches in the several counties
of England; total, 8, 981. |

parcel of the possessions of the bishopric of Ely, now void; 50l. a
year clear, allowing 40l. yearly for repair of Erith and Awdrey
bridges, &c. |
|
73. Abstract of a decree made as to the rights of the tenants of
Middleham and Richmond: that they held by tenant right until
30 Eliz., when they had leases for 40 years, yielding their ancient
rents and services, which services were inserted in their leases, viz.,
that every tenant should furnish an able man for the service in the
North, pay two years rent as a fine at the death of the Prince, one
year's rent upon every alienation, and two upon every renewal. At
the end of every lease, the eldest son of every tenant then living
should have a new one like the former. To settle all questions and
contentions upon these clauses, all leases formerly or hereafter to be
made were confirmed, and a declaration made that none could be
granted in reversion, but upon expiration or surrender only. Also
that the lease should revert to the heir, and not to the executor:
that the heir should pay the fine, and that the words" eldest son"
should extend to the eldest daughter, and to the next of blood,
either male or famale, in default of issue of the body. |
|
74. Note that in 24 Eliz., the composition for Somersetshire was
concluded, by John Popham, Attorney General, and Arthur Hopton,
for the delivery of 100 large fat oxen and 300 large fat muttons, of
the best and largest; that it continued for six years, till 30 Eliz.,
when upon the earnest request of Sir Amias Pawlett, by reason of
the great dearth of cattle in that country, 10 oxen were abated for
four years, and 100 sheep yearly. |
|
That in 34 Eliz. her purveyors were sent down to that country,
and made provision, which moved Edw. Phillipes, one of the justices,
to signify that Philip Watts, grazier, was authorized to conclude for
that shire, according to their first compostion, viz, for 100 oxen
and 300 muttons, and the other justices confirming the same, it was
performed, 15 Dec., under the hands of Fras. Hastings and eight
others named. That in 36 Eliz., upon suit made Mr. Portman and
Edw. George to the Lords in Commission, alleging the death of
cattle in that country, they only served 100 oxen and 100 sheep for
that year, and the next year signified they would not continue their
composition any longer. |
|
75. Answers by Wright to certain questions. I have not sufficient
practice int he Court [of Spain] to answer the first seven, but if
they are of importance for the state of England, I could gain intelligence from Spain. |
|
8. As to the state of feeling of the noblemen of Aagon, they
are like flax, lacking only a little fire to kindle them. |
|
9. I know no Englishmen attendant at Court, except Father
Creswell, Sir Fras. Englefied, Thos. Morgan, Cecil the priest,
and a few of small account. |
|
10. Creswell has no pension, Englefield 60 crowns a month,
well paid, the others, whether there or in service, ill paid and
complaining universally. |
|
11. As to Sir Francis Englefield's disposal of his time, he says
that having one foot in the grave, he must prepare for entenity;
but yet two years since, he set out a book on the pretenders to
the Crown of England, and who are likely to prevail. |
|
12. He is not fully blind; he depends most upon Don Juan
Idiaques. |
|
13. No English beside Parsons have ability to deal in matters
of policy, except Sir Fraincis and Creswell, unless it be Capt.
Cripps; but henceforth no Jesuit will deal much in State
matters, for in their last congregation, last year, it was decreed—on penalty of mortal sin, which is to them as the terror of
death,—that none of their order should hereafter directly or
indirectly meddle in State affairs, and Parsons has had some
check for what he has done. |
|
14. Parsons is not at present in any civil affairs; he depends
most upon Idiaques and the Adelantado of Castile, and lives
out of the monies that he begs for the seminaries of Valladolid
and Seville. |
|
15. I know not the names of the Scots attending on the
Court; one is a laird, and came with the serjeant-major sent
with Cecil the priest into Scotland last September; the other
came with Cecil this last Lent. |
|
16. I was told at Bayonne that one Irishman was come from
the Earl of Tyrone, but I think it false, becuase no Irish ship
had come, and it is not likely he would come by other ships. |
|
17 Stanhurst has left Court, with a good provision in
Flanders, and is not likely to deal more in matters of State
or physic. [1¾ pages, endorsed by Burghley.] |
|
76. "Notes [by Lord Burghley] out of a seditious book, touching
the sucecession to the Crown of England;" showing that the author
justifies alteratios in the succession of Kings, and aruges against
the King of Scots, and in favour of an Infanta of Spain or the King
of Spain and his son. |
|
77. Paper headed "English fugitives." A Spanish nobleman,
when ordered by Charles V. to lodge the Duke of Bourbon in his
house at Madrid, said he would obey, but would set it one fire as
soon as the Duke was gone, for it was not a place built to harbour
traitors. Sir Wm. Standley was reproved by Verdugo, and R. York
by Count Charles of Mansfeldt, for speaking so violently against
their country and the Qeen. The King of Spain has against
seminaries at Valladolid, Seville, Douay, and St. Omer, for English
students, who promise to become priest when called, nd faithfully obey their superiors, though it cost them their lives. |
|
He sends his troops at first to the garrisons of Naples and Milan,
and when trained there a year or two, to Flanders, which gives rise to
the proverb "in Italia gli ingrassano, in Fiandra gli amazano.',
Jesuits are so powerful in Flanders that no great matter is determined without them; they plant themselve everywhere; their
chruches are rich, garments costly, &c. They allow none of their
order to enter a higher dignity, lest they should lose credit; they
think the name of a Jesuit equal to that of a bishop. They are
quarreling with the Cordeliers as to which should visit the sick in
the articles of death; they teach the principal children, hear confessions, &c. When the soldiers mutinied for pay the King took
up cloth, silk, kerseys, &c. from the Italian bankers at Antwerp, at
excessive rates, and in this merchandize paid his camp; those who
received the goods were forced to sell them at a third of the price
to the brokers, who bought them again and paid them at the first
price to others, so that 10,000l. has paid off 100,000l. [1¼ pages.] |
|
78. Statement by — Burley to Sir John Fortescur, Chancellor
of the Exchequer. An unjust claim is made upon me by the executors of William Burley, recusant, for 2,606l. 3s. 4d., more than
the land was worth when George Burley, my fahter, entered on it.
It has been proved before Auditor Hill that the balance of debt is
on the other side. The recusant's lands were entailed upon me,
and have been injustly sold away from me. Details of the
accounts. |
