Present : Lord Treasurer, Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Mr. How, [Paymaster General of Guards and Garrisons], and the
Comptrollers of the Army Accounts are called in. My Lord orders
that the Auditor [one of the two Auditors of Imprests] who hath
Mr. How's accounts and vouchers for the year ended at Xmas 1704
may finish those accounts upon his examination of the said vouchers
and that they may be declared thereupon. But the Comptrollers
of Army Accounts are to exhibit their objections, if any, in writing,
to be transmitted to the Auditor for his consideration.
And as to his [Howe's] accounts from Xmas 1704 the vouchers are
to be examined by the Comptrollers at their Office (his [Howe's] clerk
bringing them and attending during the examination and then carrying
them away again). And then the Comptrollers are to certify according
to their instructions before those accounts go to the Auditor.
The Attorney General, Solicitor General, Monsieur Huguetan and
his Counsel Mr. Brown are called in with Mr. Salladin and Mr. Dod
counsel for him [Salladin].
Mr. Browne desires that a grant may be made of such moneys as
are due from Huguetan to the Queen's enemies and as are found
by inquisition, and says Salladin has no real interest ; if he have
there will be a commission to determine the Queen's grant.
Dod says Salladin is not an alien enemy and is no way concerned
with France and that here is a great fraud and cheat upon him,
Huguetan having gotten Salladin's bills into his hands by collusion
with one Bagueret ; [and Dod] desires that my Lord may secure so
much as will satisfy Salladin and that there may be no grant to
defraud him [struck through] put so much out of the Queen's power :
Salladin's demand is 35,000l.
The Attorney General says Huguetan is contented that Bagueret be
[struck through] what is due to Bagueret be left out of the case.
Mr. Dod offers to submit the matter to be adjusted by any
merchants or other indifferent persons ; or that 35,000l. be deposited
till Salladin makes out his demands.
My Lord Treasurer consents that as to Bagueret the inquisition
shall be quashed : that Salladin may have his demand on Huguetan
as if there were no inquisition.

paid over] to Mr. Whitfield for the Marine Regiments. Treasury

Present : Lord Treasurer, Chancellor of the Exchequer.
[My Lord directs that] 900l. out of the tallies and orders in Mr.
How's hands [as Paymaster General of Guards and Garrisons] on
the Low Wine Act [3-4 Anne c. 18] be applied by him to satisfy a
bill of exchange drawn by the Earl of Peterborough from Barcelona
for 4000 dollars payable to the Commissioners for Prizes for value
received of their agent with the Fleet on account of the Forces under
his [Peterborough's] command in Catalonia, to wit out of the tallies
and orders for part of 98,969l. 10s. 0d. for the 5000 additional men
[for sea service] anno 1705.
Issue to him [the said Mr. How] 346l. on his order for the said
98,969l. 10s. 0d. : out of the funds in the Exchequer for the year
1705. [The said sum of 346l. comprises] 70l. to be paid on a warrant
to Signor Antonio Manzoni for the return [the forwarding or remitting
to Portugal by bills] of 17,000 milreis paid by [sic for to] the Earl
of Peterborough for those Forces [being the extra exchange allowance]
over and above [the exchange rate of] 6s. per milrei per agreement ;
and 276l. to complete Brigadier Stanhope's pay as Brigadier from
31 March 1705 to 23 Dec. 1705.
Issue to him [Howe] 234l. on his order for 87,125l. 10s. 0d. for 5000
men [for sea service] anno 1705 : to be paid on a warrant for levy
money to complete 2 additional Companies and recruits of
Handasyde's Regiment in lieu of such as died on shipboard or were
lost in the late storm.
The Attorney and Solicitor General come in. Lady Wood with
Mr. Dod her Counsel and Mrs. Row with Sir Thomas Powys and Sir
John Hawles her Counsel are called in.
Powys [for Mrs. Rowe] says upon the first trial the issues in effect
were found for Rowe : that Mr. Row's bill was to get the tallies out
of Lady Wood's hands : that neither party has a right to the 250l. :
it is the Queen's money and must be asked as a favour : that it
has been admitted the Farmers [of the Hearthmoney] made good
all the money to the Crown, above a million, and should have the
aid of the Crown ; others should not have it against them, there being
only the form of the account wanting. It is 21 years ago since the
farm ended. Lady Wood made no demand during the farm for the
money which was lent on the bonds of Shales and Toplady : that
Hind, Shales, Toplady and all the Farmers are now dead : that Lady
Wood may take her remedy in her own name : and he concludes that
Mr. Row deserves favour most for the 250l. He was an old servant,
a good farmer and left his family poor : that his clients have paid
the costs of the 2 trials and of the bill near 300l., and the Crown can
have no benefit. He is informed Mr. Row had once a warrant. Mrs.
Row is an object of great compassion and hopes for the Queen's
favour.
Hawles says the Queen may give the 250l. as she pleases : it was
levied against an order of this [the Treasury] Board ; no money is
due from the [late Hearthmoney] Managers : they have not and are
not able to make up the account for want of those tallies : though
they [the Rowes] miscarried in their bill it is mended since and the
point of equity is undiscussed : [there is] nothing due to the Crown ;
Lady Wood had favour from this [the Treasury] Board in being
permitted to proceed in the Queen's name. He cites the case of the
Duchess of Monmouth who was not allowed process because nothing
was due to the Crown from Lord Cornwallis. There is nothing due
to Lady Wood from Mrs. Rowe. She has had about 300l. (more
than was ever given before) and now she would have this 250l.
[On behalf of Lady Wood] Dod says the issues were regularly
levied : does not know [of] any indulgence from this [the Treasury]
Board to Lady Wood : she has not received a penny on account of
the matter for which this process was issued : she has prosecuted
continually for 20 years : this money was borrowed on credit of the
[Hearthmoney] Farmers [and was] so found by verdict and perhaps
the Crown might be paid with Lady Wood's money if it be paid her.
The prosecution has been with leave of this [the Treasury] Board.
We have been at the charge. The Crown is in nature of a trustee.
The Court never discharged any issues till the plaintiff is satisfied in
the action. It is like the forfeiture on an outlawry at the suit of the
party. Sureties for good behaviour is for the aid of the party and
it's doubtful whether the Crown can discharge. If all the issues to be
lost are to be granted to the party prosecuted we are in a circle and we
should have been told this twenty years ago : we might have saved
2 or 3000l. Issues being levied we have as near a right as is possible
to have them.
The Lord Treasurer takes notice [points out] there was no
application for these tallies till after Hind's failure.
Dod [replies] we did constantly apply. We began above 20 years
ago.
Hawles [says] the application was for payment out of Hind's estate.
Dod [says] the prosecution was by Distringas and the proposition
for payment out of Hind's estate was from the Farmers. They were
prosecuted eight or ten years before.
Powys [says] she [Lady Wood] did not come while the [Hearthmoney]
Farm continued and all the particular creditors of every
farmer for money borrowed on his private account will expect the
same favour. On an outlawry the goods are delivered by the Crown
to the party because the suit was the party's ; and there is an Act
that the party [? sic for suit] shall not be discharged till the party
is satisfied : but here the suit was the Crown's and here none can
interpose but for a favour.
Lord Treasurer [asks] when did Mr. Hinde die or fail?
Dod [replies] this day 20 years. We had Lord Treasurer
Rochester's order that no account should pass till those tallies were
brought in.
The parties and their Counsel withdraw.
The Attorney General says there is no legal right but an equitable
right, such as is never denied ; like where sureties pay a debt for their
principal. If those tallies had been lost they might have been
supplied [or innovated] : but these tallies were pawned by some
of the Farmers [of the Hearthmoney] : they were a security [for a
loan and were] so agreed [to be] by the verdict, Lady Wood has
proceeded with leave of the Treasury : has been at all the charge and
in reason and equity ought to have the money levied.
The Solicitor General [says] the jury found that the money came
to the use of all the Farmers.
The Attorney General [says] the Farmers when they gave Hind
his dividend should have taken in the tallies and others must not
suffer by their default.
The Solicitor General [says] the issues are a trust for the party in
the case of an outlawry : and here is an equity.
My Lord will move the Queen to grant the issues to Lady Wood.
The gentlemen of the Bank are called in. They say if my Lord
will strike tallies on the first [sic for fund] of the Land Tax [4-5 Anne
c. 1] and Malt [3-4 Anne c. 17] they will supply money on them
as my Lord shall have occasion.
As soon as the [Act for the] Land Tax [anno 1706] [4-5 Anne c. 1]
is passed [my Lord orders loans to the amount of] 300,000l. to be
registered thereon for the Navy.

Gibraltar and then on the present [order so far as unexhausted] and

to be made by Bridges himself without interest. And then
this 2300l. together with 2800l. tallies in Mr. Bridges' hands on the
Two Thirds Subsidy (which tallies were struck on the order for
extraordinaries anno 1703) are to be applied to answer 5 bills of
exchange drawn by Mr. Methwin for 17,000 milreis for the service of
Gibraltar. Ibid., p. 160.
