Auditor's memorandum :
The accomptant received several quantities of provisions in kind from Capt. Shales and others, of which he has rendered an account upon oath. Such of them as are not accompted for are charged upon Mr. Vanhomrigh and others.
He claims allowance of 22l. 8s. 11d. for a small quantity of provisions applied for the transporting French recruits and recruits of Duke of Schomberg's Regiment, for which he believes his deputy gave notice to the Paymaster to make deductions as well as for other provisions which appear to be deducted for ; and in regard a considerable sum is charged to the French Regiments for provisions delivered them, he says tis probable these recruit provisions are part of those deducted : but whether they be so does not appear to me.
He further claims for a small wastage of provisions and 792l. 10s. 2d. for salaries, contingencies, stationery ware, passing his accounts etc.
Followed by : (1) report dated 18 Aug. 1705 by the said Auditor Edward Harley and by R. Barker, Deputy [Queen's] Remembrancer on the said Robinson's demands of 792l. 10s. 2d. for salaries, contingencies etc. as above. This report quotes orders of the Committee for the Affairs of Ireland of 11 Jan. 1689-90 requiring Robinson to appoint Deputies ; and by minutes from the Council Books of the 7th and 19th Feb. 1689-90 he deputed the said Cuff and Vickars. And it appears by similar minutes of 28 March, 16 April, 11 June, 30 June, 8 Aug. 1690 and 6 March 1690-1 and 8 April 1691, 4 June and 12 Aug. that the said Committee did send orders to and receive letters from the said Deputies directing the buying and disposing of provisions and that money was issued to them from the Treasury to buy provisions etc.
(2) Sir William Robinson's memorial dated Aug. 1705 concerning the said claim of 792l. 10s. 7d.
