We have referred said petition to the Customs Commissioners, who find that the ship belongs to New York merchants and all her company save two Dutchmen are inhabitants of New England and other parts of America. It has been customary upon former embargoes to permit ships belonging to the Plantations and manned with mariners of the Plantations to return home. Warrants not Relating to Money XIV, p. 90.
Royal warrant, under the Queen's sign manual, to tho Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to discharge William Shaw from a debt of 100l. 8s. 5d. as follows. In 1686 Patrick McGill and others farmed from the then Revenue Commissioners in Ireland the Hearthmoney of the counties of Down and Antrim at the rent of 3,215l., and said Shaw became security for same. The said farmers failing to pay said sum, Shaw was sued for the arrear of about 400l. He paid 300l. and gave security for the balance. But the Hearthmoney for said counties was not set for near 3,215l. any year before or since, and Shaw has been a great sufferer by the rebellion and is reduced to great poverty. From the report of the Revenue Commissioners on said Shaw's petition it appears that 101l. 16s. 5d. is charged upon Shaw in the accounts to 1688, Christmas, of Geo. McCartney, late collector of Carrickfergus, to whom the said Hearthmoney was given in charge ; against which Shaw claims an allowance of 28s. for the Castle of Carrickfergus, which allowance has been formerly made. The Commissioners believe that by the troublesomeness of the times great part of the arrears of the said Hearthmoney became insolvent to the farmers. Shaw is therefore to be discharged as above.

Report to the Queen from the Treasury Lords on the petition of Richard Cox, transmitted by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and referred to us the 15th inst. Petitioner shews that he was made second Justice of Common Pleas there 1690, Sept. 4, and being the only judge then there was obliged to constant attendance on the State and was daily employed by the Lords Justices in drawing Proclamations and other services of the Government ; that in Oct., 1690, he was sent to Drogheda and co. Louth as Judge of Assize and Gaol Delivery without any allowance for same, and that he likewise kept Michaelmas term alone in the Court of Common Pleas ; that nevertheless the salary due to him for the half year ended 1690, Christmas, being 200l., is not yet paid, nor can be without special orders, because the establishment sent over only begins from that date. We find that petitioner is a person very zealous for the Government and hath done good service on several occasions. We have nothing to object to the payment of said half year's salary to him.

Same to the Treasury Lords from Mr. Povey, on the petition of the Assembly of Maryland, concerning the impost of 25 ships that came thence in 1690 without paying the duties there. By an Act of said Assembly, dated 1679, April 30, an impost of 2s. per hogshead of tobacco exported thence is granted to the Lord Proprietor of Maryland, one moiety thereof being appropriated to the Government there. Upon taking that Province under the immediate care and protection of the Crown, the Queen in Council order 1690-1, Feb. 26, that the said moiety should be so applied to the Government there and that the other moiety should be received by Lord Baltimore to his own use as Proprietary of that Province : and Col. Copley was directed by the Queen's Instructions of 1691, Aug. 26, to take [care] that one fourth part of the said moiety be applied towards maintaining a constant magazine with arms and ammunition for the defence of the country and to receive the remaining three fourths to his own use as Governor in Chief thereof for his support in the Government. It appears that 940l. of the moiety for 1692 was disposed by the Convention of Maryland for the public uses of the Government before the arrival of Col. Copley. Therefore the Assembly prays that in lieu thereof Copley may receive to his own use the whole moiety of the impost on the abovesaid 25 ships. But by Treasury order of 1691, Oct. 2, supra, p. 1326, the Receiver General of Customs [England] was ordered to demand from the 26 ships that came from Maryland in 1690 the sum of 1,730l. 19s. 0d., whereof the moiety of the 2s. per hogshead came to 735l. 15s. 0d. The said Receiver General was further ordered Jan. 28 last, supra, p. 1466, to pay 465l. 19s. 0d. to Lord Baltimore out of same. As yet the said Receiver General has given no security of his proceedings herein, so I cannot say whether all or any part of said 1,730l. 19s. 0d. has been received from the masters of said ships "or whether according to what has been proposed to your Lordships the names of the masters refusing to pay the same, and of the said ships, have been certified by the Receiver General, that upon the return of those ships or masters to Maryland the Government there may oblige them to make good the said duties before they be permitted to come away."
