merchants, praying payment of the 468l. 8s. 7d.
due to them which Charles II ordered payment of
in Sept., 1677, but which by the means of the Earl
of Danby and Charles Bertie they have not yet
received. The said Bertie has hereon given answer
thereto to the effect that after many applications
to the King and Privy Council the matter was
heard in the Exchequer Court and decree made
in 1682 for cancelling the said order and the assignment thereon, as being fully paid. To this Terence
has replied that their petitions to the King during
the life of the Lord O'Brien were hindered by the
Earl of Danby taking up and hindering them and
when Bertie could no longer hinder the trial before
the King in Council he preferred a bill in the Exchequer against Terence, Dinence, Cox and Gawen,
junr., and further that they appealed against the
said decree to the House of Lords and Bertie never
put in his answer thereto. |

a small box containing 9½lb. weight of livery lace,

Ibid, p. 303. |
|
Appending: said petition with said statement of
case: shewing that his ancestors enjoyed said
place by grant from Charles I to Sir Henry Vane,
senr., but same was forfeited by Sir Henry Vane
junior's attainder; and said office has since been
supplied during pleasure, "that the fee thereof
is 40 marks, which has been paid by your petitioner
and is of no further value or advantage to your
Majesty": therefore praying to be restored to said
office: the said forest being a cold open piece of
ground without trees or shelter whereby the game
is not easily preserved and was never known to
exceed the number of 50 deer and the forest being
so remote and the country about it so wild that it
affords neither profit nor pleasure [to the King]
and is only of convenience to Mr. Vane, who is
proprietor of the lands about it. |

support of the Government, but since the present
King's accession the said allowance was stopped

petitioner would have quitted [his post], but chose
rather to support the Government himself than
hazard his Majesty's service; by which means he
has contracted many debts: therefore prays
relief. |

Dover, being due upon [Navy] bills: the said stores
having been contracted for at a ready money price,
but the debt lying under the general postpone and
[therefore for payment thereof] solely dependent

Colt's bill in bringing up two of his [Colt's] children.
their father being cast away at sea. |

Warrants not Relating to Money XII, pp. 226–7. |
|
Prefixing: said Fisher's report on said Sheldon's
petition, ut supra, p. 1716. The late Earl of St.
Albans had two leases of Oatland Park with the
meadows and grounds belonging to it, viz. in 1670
for 31 years from 1669, Sept. 29 (to trustees for
said Lord) and in 1681 for 11 further years (to
himself), each at 20s. per an. rent; the interest of
both said grants is vested in petitioner by indenture
dated 1684, May 28. By the [Long] Parliament's
survey the premises were valued at 200l., tithe free,
but since the disparking and taking of the timber
the said Earl submitted to a rate tithe of 10l. per an.
with the adjacent ministers, which the lessee pays
to this day. I advise terms as above. |
|
|
The Treasury Lords to the Revenue Commissioners,
Ireland. Yours of the 11th and 13th inst. to hand.
As to the business of Mr. Bridges and Mr. Genew,
we think the payment of the King's debt ought
not to be delayed on account of the difference
between them and Mr. Boswood. Mr. Bridges
has told us that he and Genew do not know what
is their due to pay and that he has accepted a
reference to an arbitrator. Let us know if the
arbitration is proceeded in and with what result. |

so long as two persons have a joint title to that
office." |

Henry Guy to the Revenue Commissioners, Ireland,
to report on (a) infra. |
Out Letters (Ireland) V, pp. 70–1. |
|
Appending: (a) petition to the Treasury Lords from
Sir Edward Scott, shewing that soon after the
Restoration the Duke of York set [let] to petitioner,
then Major of said Duke's Regiment, a farm of
2,500 acres of profitable land in Ireland at 12d. an
acre, besides 17,000 [sic for 1,700] acres that passed
for unprofitable which were thrown in, and "being
by lease parole," same was possessed peaceably
for three years and an order passed by the Duke's
Commissioners, then in Ireland, for a 31 years'
lease, which lease was sent to London to be perfected
by the Duke; but petitioner being commanded at
that time to Dunkirk, where said Regiment was,
same was not perfected and Dr. George, then the
sole Commissioner for the Duke's affairs in Ireland,
took advantage thereof to dispossess petitioner of
said 4,200 acres after [petitioner's] being at 1,000l.
charges in recovering the Duke's title to said lands:
that in 1684 in consideration thereof the Duke
promised petitioner a lease of the lands of Gowran
of 1,200 acres, Mocully of 71 acres, Milltown of
99 acres and White's Castle of 90 acres, all in co.
Kilkenny, in reversion of a former lease to Major
Deane; but one Pleydell, then solicitor to the
Duke in that revenue (pretending that there was a
considerable parcel of land of Gowran concealed
from the Duke), proposed the recovery of it for his
own advantage and petitioner was tricked by
Pleydell, who (when petitioner's lease was perfected
and possession of Gowran secured) got into possession
of the other part of said lands, viz. Mocully, Milltown
and White's Castle, and defies petitioner: therefore
prays an examination of the affair. |

paid him) 509l. 17s. 2d., in part of 550l. allowed
by said warrant: the work is now finished and

bonds refuse to pay without Treasury authorisation,
the bonds being taken in the King's name: therefore
petitioner prays such authorisation: further,

be made up out of further bonds in my hands:
further, I know not how to charge or discharge my

delivered for the Works at Winchester pursuant
to the Treasury warrants of 1683, Apr. 7, and Dec. 11,
neither can I separate the whole discharge of

Appending: (a) petition to the Treasury Lords from
James Clarke and Samuel Duglas, storekeepers in
the port of Dublin, shewing that a list of proposed
retrenchments was lately sent to the Treasury
Lords by the Revenue Commissioners, Ireland,
and that petitioner's salary of 50l. per an. [was
included therein]; that their allowance was much
greater when the revenue was in farm and that
they are the first persons that had a patent of that
office since the Act of Parliament appointed said
office and it cost them a great deal to settle same
in a good method and they allow nearly their fee
to an able deputy, the other perquisites being
inconsiderable, and petitioners are chargeable with
all merchants' goods and answerable for any miscarriage thereof. Therefore pray that their salary
be continued. |
