62. Grant to John Murray, servant to the Queen, of a yearly pension of 200 marks, with proviso of avoidance if he assign, sell, or alienate it, or any part thereof. [1 page, copy.]
Oct. 22. 63. The King to the Officers of the Exchequer. By privy seal 1 July 1603, we directed the issuing of imprests for repair of our houses of access in the beginning of every month, and the residue of the charges of our Works to be monthly paid, upon a declaration by the principal officers of our Works, not to exceed 5,000l. a year; with proviso, that in case the charge should in any year be less than 5,000l., the defect thereof should supply any excess in any future year. But by occasion of alterations and increase of lodgings in divers of our said houses, the 5,000l. being wholly issued, and no defect happening the next year to supply the excess of the other, it has been supplied by other warrants. As sums of money have been paid for provisions and emptions from April to September last, amounting to 2,120l. 7s. 11d., and divers artificers yet remain unpaid their daily wages for July, August, and September, amounting to 1,863l. 6s. 10d., for full discharge of works done upon our Works, 1,863l. 6s. 10d., for full discharge of works done upon our said houses in July, August, and September.
With note by Lord Treasurer Dorset to Sir Thos. Lake, to get this engrossed for His Majesty's signature. [1 sheet, draft.]

With note that he cannot set down the charges of those who undertake the work. Also that for 100l. more, timber might be bought in the adjacent country, and none of His Majesty's timber need be felled, if the same be provided before the owners convert it into building timber.
