Annuities payable to several Bankers and other Patentees”: the said annuity being after the rate of 3 per cent. for the sum of 1,500l. principal money found by a commission of bankrupt issued 19 January 1695–6 to be the property and estate of Thomas Price, heretofore of London goldsmith, as an assignee of Sir Robert Viner one of the said patentees, and to which the said Fountain, Deering, Perry and Noell are become entitled as assignees of the said commission of bankrupt in trust for themselves and the rest of the creditors of the said Price.
Prefixing. report by Sir James Montague, Solicitor General, on the petition of the said Fountain et al. The annual sum of 90l. was assigned by Charles II. to Sir Robert Viner 1683–4 Jan. 13 and was purchased by Thomas Price from one John Hunt to whom it had been assigned. The said Price became indebted to James II. in 10,602l. 6s. 9d. and thereupon an extent was taken against him 1685 Dec. 30 and an inquisition Jan. 5 following, but this 90l. per an. is not noticed therein: on the 19th Jan. following a commission of bankrupt issued against Thomas and Samuel Price which found the said 90l. per an.: on the 20 Oct. 1686 by direction of Treasurer Rochester the said 90l. per an. with several other assignments of bankers' debts was transferred by said Thomas Price to Richard Graham and Phillip Burton to the use of James II. towards said debt: on the 12th Dec. 1687 the commissioners of bankrupt assigned the said 90l. per an. to these petitioners and by several Acts of Parliament [12–13 Wm. III, c. 12, clause 24; 1 Anne, c. 1, clause 4; 2–3 Anne, c. 3, clause 1] lately passed 3 per cent. interest is directed thereon subject to redemption on payment of a moiety of the principal. By letters patent of 5 Wm. and Mary the said debt of 10,602l. 6s. 9d. was granted to Ralph Coke with all the estates of said Thomas Price which were extended or extendable for security thereof. “But in regard the said annual sum of 90l. is not mentioned in the inquisition which was taken on the [above]said extent and the same has not yet been extended and seized into the hands of the Crown in regard the said annual payment was originally granted by way of mortgage for securing a debt owing by King Charles II. and is still redeemable upon payment of a moiety of the principal,” and therefore (as well as by the words of the Act of 2 and 3 Anne, c. 9) is to be looked upon as part of the personal estate of the said bankrupt (the act of bankrupt having been committed before the assignment to Burton and Graham and the commissioners of bankrupt having assigned to the petitioners) I am of opinion that the assignees of the commissioners of bankrupt are well entitled and should have orders for payment of the annuity.
(2) Report by Lord Halifax, Auditor of the Receipt, on the case, setting out all the details as above. The Commissioners of Bankrupt which issued 19 Jan. 1685–6 did find that the said Thomas and Samuel Price by the space of two years then last and before the suing forth of the said commission exercised the trade of goldsmith and banker in Lombart Street London seeking their living by buying and selling.
