Report to the Treasury Lords from William Blathwayt
on the petition of Mr. Graham. I have examined
these papers and find that in 1686 Mr. Lucas Santen,
being collector and receiver of the revenue in New
York, was suspended by the Governor and Council
from the execution of his office for neglect of duty
and disobedience of the Governor's order. Thereupon
petitioner, with Stephanus van Courtlandt,
by the appointment of Col. Dungan, Governor of
that Province, did collect and receive said revenue
until 1688, Mar. 25. Graham petitioned the Lords
of Trade and Plantations for 100l. salary for the
said service, and same was referred to Col. Slaughter,
Governor of New York. He reported thereon that,
having inspected the several orders and accounts
of the Collector's Office in New York, he finds that
the said revenue was improved in the year 1687
during petitioner's management and that 120l.
sterling is due to him for salary. It may be directed
to be paid out of the revenue of New York, where
said petitioner is at present employed in their
Majesties' service. |
Out Letters (Plantations
Auditor) I, pp. 376-7. |
|
Same to same from same on Mr. Cortlandt's petition.
I find that by an establishment, signed by James II
in 1688, the Company of Foot then at New York
was ordered to be formed into two Companies to
be paid from 1688, Aug. 1, according to the said
establishment out of the revenue arising in New
England (of which the Province of New York was
then a part). In 1690, the said Companies having
been broken and dispersed by the late disorders
in New York, the officers presented a petition to
the Committee of Trade and Plantations on behalf
of themselves and others who had supplied the
said Companies with subsistence and other necessaries,
complaining that they [said officers and
soldiers] had not received any pay. The said
petition was referred to Col. Sloughter, Governor of
New York, who has reported that by Mr. Cortlandt's
account it appears that 2,051l. 14s. 6d. was due to
the said two Companies at New York from 1688,
Aug. 1, to 1689, June 18, when one of the said
Companies was dispersed by the disorders there ;
and to the other Company (which being at Albany
continued in the service from the said 18th of June
to 1689-90, Mar. 22) 457l. 1s. 0d., making together
2,508l. 15s. 0d. arrears due : of which sum Mr.
Stephanus van Courtlandt has paid to them
1,405l. 5s. 9½d. for their subsistence and other
necessary supplies of the two Companies in their
several expeditions against the French and Indians
for the security and defence of the country : so
that there yet remains due to the officers and
soldiers 1,103l. 9s. 8½d. Col. Sloughter also represents
that Mr. Cortlandt has further disbursed
651l. 14s. 5¾d. for the public service at New York
by order of the Government, thus making a total
of 2,057l. 0s. 2¼d. paid by him, of which he has
received 700l. 6s. 3d. out of the Public Treasury
at New York, thus leaving 1,356l. 13s. 11¼d. This
sum, together with the 1,103l. 9s. 8½d. arrears of
pay as above, is to be satisfied out of the public
revenue arising in New York by the Treasury
Lords' direction, after the necessary charges of the
Government [of New York] are first provided for. |

Treasury warrant to the Auditor of Crown Lands for
a particular and ratal of the manor of Kirton

Cornwall, in order to an extension of lease thereof to
Rawson Hart, esq.
Prefixing : report, dated Jan. 18 last, by William
Tailer, Deputy Surveyor General of Crown Lands,
on said Hart's petition for same. Petitioner's
father, Major Hart, corresponded with the late
Duke of Albemarle in the Restoration of Charles II,
having purchased the scite and part of the demesnes
of said manor under the then late [Usurped] Powers,
together with a piece of ground called Magellmore,
and two other parcels of land there called South
Green and Fieldmere, all belonging to said Duchy.
He had a lease thereof 1662, July 8, for 31 years,
and a further term therein 1677, June 16, for 14
years, at the several old rents of 15l. for the scite,
demesnes and Magellmore and 6s. for Southgreen
and Fieldmere. For a 16 years' extension of the
15 years in being I advise a fine of 200l., as the
premises have been valued at 80l. per an. |
