Reference by Treasurer Rochester to Richard Graham
and Philip Burton of the petition of John Benifice
of Dunwich, co. Suffolk, shewing that in 1672 Sir
William Doyly, one of the Commissioners appointed
to take care of the Sick and Wounded in the late
Dutch War, appointed him deputy to take care
of such sick and wounded at Dunwich and adjacent
places; which petitioner faithfully executed during
that war and expended such moneys as from time
to time he received from said Doyly: that in 1676
petitioner's accounts were perused and audited by
Richard Gibson, who was authorised by the Earl
of Danby, then Lord Treasurer; and vouchers
were produced to prove the same, and said Gibson
was well satisfied therewith and petitioner was paid
173[l.] towards the balance thereof: that said
Gibson together with Mr. Thomas Cooper, has
lately made a report in general to the Lord Treasurer
concerning said account [to the effect] that petitioner is indebted 317l. 16s. 4d. to the King without
ascertaining the particulars thereof; upon which
a bill is exhibited in the Exchequer against petitioner to account over again, which petitioner is
utterly unable to do, having lost some of his vouchers,
and his account and other vouchers being detained
by the said Gibson, and the persons are since dead
who should justify the said account: therefore
prays a hearing and stay of the Exchequer proceedings meantime. |
Reference Book III, p. 410. |
|
Same by same to the Attorney General of the petition of
Sir Benj. Tichborne, kt., shewing that his grandfather,
Sir Walter Tichborne, did in 17 Car. I sell several
lands in the parish of Ash, co. Surrey, to the Crown,
amongst which lands there is a parcel containing
about 100 acres of meadow and pasture commonly
called Noose, Loose and Whitmores, which came
by petitioner's grandmother and which petitioner's
grandfather had no power to sell, the same being
by law vested in petitioner: therefore prays some
satisfaction for same from the Crown. |
Ibid, p. 412. |
|
Same by same to same of the petition of Lady Eliz.
Gerrard to the King; petitioner shewing that her
father the Earl of Macclesfield, being seized of an
estate in lands by the device of Sir Edward Fitton
(part of which the said Sir Edward mortgaged for
raising a Regiment for the service of the Crown)
after his death one Mr. Jolliff and Alex[ande]r Fitton
by mesne assignments became interested in the said
mortgage, and receiving the rents for several years
petitioner's father brought a bill in Chancery for
an account and redemption and thereupon it was
decreed that said Jolliff and Fitton should come to
an account and assign their interest to said Earl
upon payment of what should appear to be due
to them; an account was accordingly near ready to
be stated, whereupon the Master [in Chancery] to
whom it was referred, might have made his report
but the Attorney General moved that proceedings
might stay in regard said Earl stands outlawed for
misdemeanour: therefore petitioner being appointed
by said Earl, pursuant to said decree, to take an
assignment of said mortgage, prays permission to
take same accordingly "that the remaining profits
of the estate, after the said debts paid for the
redemption, may come into your Majesty's hands." |

Warrant by Treasurer Rochester to the King's Remembrancer to deliver up to Sir Thomas Jones et al.
executors of Sir Thomas Vernon, deceased, late a
Teller of the Exchequer, the bonds of them and
others the sureties as by a schedule annexed [missing],
whereby they became sureties to Charles II for said
Vernon's true accompting: they having represented
that immediately after said Vernon's death they
paid to one of the other Tellers all such moneys as
were remaining due to the King on his account, as
by a constat or certificate thereof from William
Wardour, Clerk of the Pells, and by report of the
Auditor of the Receipt and of Thomas Hall, First
Secondary [in the King's Remembrancer's Office]. |
Warrants not Relating to Money XI, pp. 384–5. |
|
Report by same to the King on the annexed paper
(a) infra containing the demands of the Duke of
Albemarle concerning Mote Park. I find that in
1660 said Park was granted by Charles II to the
then Duke of Albemarle at the value of 264l. per an.
as it was then rated by Sir Charles Harbord. After
the said Duke's death Charles II made an agreement
with the present Duke (then a minor) for repurchasing
said Park to be laid into Windsor Great Park. The
purchase money agreed on was 7,000l. and the
King was to pay 300l. a year rent till the purchase
money should be settled and a final conveyance
made, which could not be till the Duke came of age.
The said rent has been paid up to 1684, Michaelmas,
but the privy seal for payment of such rent out of
the Customs was terminated by the death of
Charles II and has not been renewed. There are
therefore two years' arrears of rent. (2) Although
the 7,000l. purchase money represents 26½ years'
purchase, he ought to receive said sum on a perfect
conveyance because Charles II agreed to it, and the
Duke's counsel affirm that it is worth more than
264l. per an. (3) I see no reason for the demand of
1,620l. for over interest (for 13½ years to Sept. 29
last at 120l. per an.) as the agreement was not to
pay interest but rent, which rent was 36l. per an.
more than the rated value. (4) As to the Duke's
claim of 580l. 9s. 4½d. for his payment of a [fee farm]
rent of 38l. 13s. 11½d. per an. to the Queen Dowager
out of said Duke's lands in Essex and which the
Duke claims ought to be repaid and settled on a
fund to him; I find that in 1674 the Duke petitioned
Charles II representing that by patent of 19 Car. II
there was granted to the late Duke a fee farm rent
of 38l. 13s. 11½d. per an. issuing out of the Duke's
manor of Beaulieu, Newhall and Boreham, in
Essex, but the same having been before granted in
jointure to the then Queen (now Queen Consort)
the said King granted (1669, July 14) petitioner [sic
for the late Duke] a like yearly rent out of the Crown
revenues of London, Middlesex and Essex till the said
jointure should determine, wherefore said petitioner
prayed that the Receiver of Crown Revenues for
co. Middlesex might be directed to so pay it. This
petition was referred to Sir Charles Harbord and
by him reported on 1674, July 23, that such grant as
aforesaid was made in 1669, but that same could not
be paid by reason that because of the sale of fee farms
there was not any revenue left to the Receiver of
Crown Revenues for said county out of which he
could pay it, and that it would be necessary to make
some further provision for payment of same and
of the arrears thereof from 1671, Sept. 29. It does
not appear that any other provision has been so
made and there is no reason against the satisfaction
of this item. (5) As to the 8,250l. claimed by the
Duke for arrears from 1678, June 24, to 1686,
Sept. 29, on his pension of 1,000l. a year; I find
that the Duke was granted said pension 1672–3,
Feb. 24, as a Gentleman of the Bedchamber. At
the death of Charles II there was an arrear of 6,000l.
owing thereon for six years to 1684, Christmas.
Your Majesty did command that the arrears due
to the servants of Charles II should be stated with
a retrenchment of two-thirds for so much as
incurred after 1679, June 24. In pursuance hereof
there was stated for the Duke in the book of arrears
which was approved of by your Majesty in Council
April 16 last the sum of 2,333l. 6s. 8d. as in lieu of
his said arrears to Christmas, 1684, and a moiety
of that sum is already satisfied or directed off to
his Grace and the other moiety is in a speedy course
of payment out of the imposition on tobacco and
sugar, with the arrears due to the other servants
[of the said late King]. The 3,666l. 13s. 4d.
remainder of said 6,000l. stands retrenched. As
his said patent is for life there is a further 1,750l.
due on this pension from 1684, Christmas, to
Sept. 29 last. I must leave it to your Majesty to
decide whether now to direct this sum and also
whether to make good or not the said 3,666l. 13s. 4d.
so retrenched. (6) As to the Duke's claim of 400l.
for 10 years' Creation money from 1675, Christmas,
to 1685, Christmas, it is certified by Mr. Mounteney
and Mr. Kent, successive Cashiers of Customs, that
same is unpaid for said period. (7) As to the 360l.
claimed by him for Creation money for same period
as Earl of Torrington, it is certified by the Auditor
of the Receipt that same is in arrear for the period
1668, Lady day, to 1686, Lady day, which amounts
to 360l. But I am to acquaint your Majesty that
in 1679 the payment of Creation money to all the
peers (which had been seldom paid in several years
before that time) was wholly taken off from the
revenue by Charles II, and his Majesty's order
therein has been ever since punctually observed. |

Report by same to the King on the petition
of Capt. Richard Young and Samuel Hanson
complaining of three judgments given irregularly
against said Young and his two sureties, "each of
2,000l. upon one single bond of that penalty"; and
of a judgment of 5,000l. illegally obtained against
Hanson on a bond of that penalty; and of the
execution of a judgment of 150l. formerly given
against said Hanson in Barbados. |
Ibid, pp. 405–12. |
|
I find that Hanson in 1682 applied to Charles II
to be relieved of a fine of 150l. imposed on him by
Sir Richard Dutton, Governor in Chief of Barbados;
on which application the Committee of Trade and
Foreign Plantations reported 1683, Nov. 3, that
said fine had been irregularly set; but because the
matter of which Hanson was accused was for deceitfully and fraudulently taking away several guns
belonging to the King and others from off a public
wharf at Barbados, which according to the verdict
of the Grand Jury and Petty Jury there seemed to
be very criminal, the said Committee thought the
whole matter should be afresh examined by themselves, and they therefore allowed five months for
transmitting records, proofs etc., and the like time
was allowed to said Dutton to bring proofs etc. in
defence against Hanson's other appeals made at the
same time, the one being a complaint of hardship by
imprisonment etc., and the other for the confirmation of a ship belonging to him in Barbados. This
report of the said Committee was approved by the
King, 1683, Nov. 7. It appears from an entry in
the [Privy] Council Book that on the following day
Hanson gave notice to Dutton that he intended to
bring two actions against him at Common Law for
3,500l., the one for five weeks' imprisonment, the
other for his ship. Thereupon Dutton petitioned
the King for his Majesty's direction as to his appearance to the said actions. It appears from the
Council Book that a copy of this petition was delivered to Hanson, who gave in his answer thereto
with several articles of complaint against Dutton in
the name of the inhabitants of Barbados. This
answer was as follows, viz.: that he, Hanson, was
informed that the Council could not award damages;
and finding an amicable composure refused, and
that before the Council Dutton had prevailed for a
five months' delay for preparation of defence,
Hanson did petition for a hearing before Dutton's
return to Barbados. To this petition Dutton has
not yet answered. Therefore having no notice of
the King's pleasure that he should not proceed to
law, Hanson gave notice of his action as above.
Thereupon an order of Council was made 16 Nov.,
1683, leaving Hanson free to elect whether to proceed
against Dutton before the Council or at Common
Law. Hanson elected to proceed at Common Law.
Thereupon, 1683, Nov. 28, Hanson's two appeals
before the Council were dismissed that Board and
also the setting of a new fine upon Hanson for
fraudulently buying and selling the guns was remitted to Barbados to be determined at a Court of
Grand Sessions; and the bonds given by the master
of the ship who brought over said Hanson on his
escape out of prison (where he was at the suit of the
late King) were ordered to be put in suit forthwith
by the Attorney General by virtue of a law in that
island forbidding masters of ships to carry off any
persons thence without a ticket. |
|
|
Also the said Committee of Trade and Plantations
had afterwards laid before them the proceeding in
Barbados in the case of said Young, and on 14 Jan.,
1684–5, referred same to Sir Robt. Sawyer, Attorney
General, as to how far the late King was entitled
to recover the penalty of said Young's bond. The
Attorney General reported, 1684–5, Jan. 15, that the
King or Government ("which as to this matter are
said to be all one") would be solely entitled to the
penalties in all cases wherein the subjects there do
not suffer particular damage and that in such [? and
such] cases only are those bonds by the Act there
to be applied in aid for the subjects towards damages,
with remainder of the surplus thereof to the King;
further that the bonds are taken in the Governor's
name as a public person, and so are in trust for
the King and Government and need not be assigned
to entitle the suit in the Attorney [General's] name,
and that the said Attorney General's suit is well
brought upon any such public bonds. On 17 Jan.,
1684–5, therefore, the said Committee reported,
proposing that execution might issue upon the
judgment obtained on said bond; and that as a
further trial was ordered for Hanson's offence,
inasmuch as he had given counter-security to the
shipmaster to save him harmless, they saw no reason
for any remission to him or the other persons concerned in said bonds. This report was approved in
Council on the same day. |
|
|
Upon the hearing before me of this matter
by Counsel, it appeared to me [Treasurer
Rochester] that Young gave bond with two
sureties (pursuant to an Act of Assembly of
Barbados) in 2,000l. not to carry off any persons
without the Governor's licence, and that he did carry
off said Hanson, when a prisoner there at the King's
suit, without such licence; further that Hanson
gave Young a counterbond in 5,000l. to save him
harmless, and said Young assigned to Charles II the
said 5,000l. bond. Further, towards the said fine
of 200l., there was 150l. paid to Dutton and charged
in said Dutton's accounts, and upon the said bonds
there has been 1,200l. recovered and paid into the
Exchequer, besides 700l. more which Mr. Blathwaite
informs me is levied and in the sheriff's hands. At
the said hearing before me it was insisted that the
fine for taking the 12 guns was irregularly set, that
Hanson knew nothing but that he might buy the
said guns from the person who sold them, and that
when he heard otherwise he brought the guns and
laid them where they were before. But inasmuch
as Hanson was by a verdict in said island found
guilty of fraud and deceit, and as the Committee of
Trade and Plantations were sensible thereof and
directed the imposing the fine in a regular manner
(wherein some error in matter of form had been before
committed), and as the Attorney General is of
opinion that the said fine of 200l. was at last duly
imposed, I think Hanson ought to pay the remainder
of said fine and thereby to be discharged of all further
trouble as to said crime. |
|
|
It was also alleged by petitioner's counsel that
Hanson was imprisoned in Barbados for opening a
letter of Sir Richard Dutton's and that he could
make himself appear innocent thereof; that when
he was in prison he was threatened with corporal
punishment; that he could not get leave to come
away and so came away without it to appeal to the
King; that the law against unlicensed transport of
persons was designed against the carrying away of the
planters' servants or slaves, and that the bonds
given in pursuance of that law were to be assigned
to the persons who should suffer damage by such
carrying away of servants or slaves; that the said
bond of 2,000l. being made to the Governor was
nevertheless sued in the name of the Attorney
General of Barbados in the Exchequer Court there,
for the use of Charles II, "which [Court] they
allege was revived for that purpose," and that if it
had been sued in the Common Pleas there that Court
hath a power of equity and would have taken no
more than the real damage; and that for one sum
of 2,000l. there are three judgments with executions
for 2,000l. each against Young and his two sureties,
and that Hanson is underwrit by the Attorney
General of Barbados for 5,000l. more on the abovesaid counterbond. |
|
|
In answer to the aforegoing the Attorney General
of England urged that private persons or masters
of ships were not to make themselves judges whether
offenders were legally imprisoned by the Government; that Young contravened the above law and
that there was plainly a combination between Hanson
and him; that this was a damage to the King and
an ill precedent; that the bond was well taken in the
name of the Governor, he being there a public person
in the King's behalf and that therefore it might well
be sued in the name of the Attorney General of said
island for the use of Charles II, and that it was
very properly prosecuted in the Exchequer of said
island, alleging that Court to have been as ancient
as the Government there and that it may at any
time be used; and that although there are several
prosecutions yet if the King is satisfied one sum of
2,000l., the rest will be discharged. |
|
|
On the whole matter I think Mr. Hanson's
behaviour has not been so dutiful or fair as to incline
your Majesty to forgive Mr. Young or his sureties.
But I think it equitable that when said 2,000l. is
satisfied (whereof 1,200l. is already paid into the
Exchequer and 700l. more levied), that Young and
his sureties be discharged all further trouble and
also that Hanson be discharged from said 5,000l.
counter bond and all prosecution thereon, and that
he have liberty to come from Barbados if he be
detained for no other cause than the said 5,000l.
bond. It is also alleged for Hanson that a white
servant who was his bailiff was taken by the sheriff
and sold for 6l. I think the Governor of said island
ought to be commanded to inquire into this and
if true, to see said white servant restored to Hanson,
on payment of said 6l. |

Reference by Treasurer Rochester to same of the
petition of Menaseh Mendez, Andre Lopez,
Abra de Mercado, Jacob Franco Nunez and Jacob
Bueno Henriques, junr., praying a grant of letters
patent of denization in usual form [that is with the
insertion of the grace clause granting them the
privilege of] paying Custom as his Majesty's free
born subjects and not as aliens "as was formerly
granted to several others, but of late stopped upon
pretence of being prejudicial to his Majesty's revenue
of the Customs: whereas it is apparent that the
whole of the aliens' duties come to a very inconsiderable sum yearly [because of] foreigners by reason
of the said duty trading in freemen's names, who
nevertheless dare not trade for so great sums by
far as they would do were they made equal with the
King's subjects, which must [would] unavoidably
redound to the advancement of his Majesty's
Customs." |
Reference Book III, p. 413. |
|
Same by same to Bartholomew Fillingham, Thomas
Hall, and William Lowndes of the petition of Edward
Copley, shewing that his father in [16]63 became
surety for one Greathead, a collector of Hearthmoney, who became in arrear 1,300l. for moneys
collected: that Greathead is since dead, so that
the charge lies upon petitioner: that petitioner
petitioned the [late] King for these arrears, which
was granted, but could not proceed therein, finding
that same had been granted to Sir Philip Lloyd:
that Lloyd struck tallies for only 500l. of said 1,300l.,
so that 800l. thereof is still in the King's dispose, the
said [Lloyd's] privy seal being determined by the
late King's death: therefore prays a grant thereof,
as the King can never receive any benefit thereof,
petitioner's estate being settled and said estate is
only 100l. a year and maintains eight children. |
Ibid, p. 415. |
|
Report by same to the King on the petition
of Thomas Fairfax, shewing that Charles II

out of the Customs of Hull, "which [rent] have [has]
not been paid for divers years past": that this
grant is a great part of what said Col. left to provide
for his family: therefore praying the King's
direction herein [for payment thereof]. |
Warrants not Relating to Money XI, pp. 393–4. |
|
Hereon the Lord Treasurer reports that it appears
by several letters from the late Duke of Albemarle,
dated in 1659, that said Col. was under his command
and very much trusted by him; and his services
in the Restoration are certified by Lord Fairfax
and other persons of quality. The said annuity was
granted by patent of 1660, July 23, at the request
of the late Duke of Albemarle. It is certified by
Jno. Kent, assistant to the Receiver General and
Cashier of the Customs, that the last payment thereon
to Thomas Fairfax the petitioner was to 1674, June 24.
If your Majesty be pleased to pay said annuity,
petitioner must pass a privy seal to authorise the
doing thereof, "for that the Customs out of which
the said annuity by the said letters patent is payable are by the death of your late most dear brother
determined. And for the arrears I humbly take
leave to put your Majesty in mind that in cases of the
like nature where you have been pleased to continue
the annuity your Majesty has not paid the arrears." |

(b) Report dated 1685, July 23, to Treasurer
Rochester from Richard Graham [and Philip Burton]
on the abovesaid account. The extraordinary
charges craved for the Receiver and deputies
come to 292l. 6s. 8d. above the salary and poundage
allowed him by his Commission. We propose
hereof to allow only 150l., thus leaving 142l. 19s. 5d.
to be paid into the Exchequer. |
