Francesco Rizzo to Sir Robert Cecil. |
|
[1601 ?] |
Two years ago petitioned him for the release of
Ortensio Spinola, and offered to pay 1,000 crs., as he was
commissioned from Antwerp to do; but the offer was rejected.
A few months ago he was again commissioned to offer 250l.
for the said Spinola, who had spent the rest in prison; and on
speaking of the matter was told that Spinola's exchange
against Mr. Bruschetto, prisoner in Flanders, was being treated.
Seeing that the matter drags and that Spinola is in very bad
health and not likely to live long, renews the petition for his
release and offers 300l. which is all that Spinola's relations will
give. The money shall be paid as soon as Spinola has his
passport.

[John Browne] to the Right Hon. [Sir Robert Cecil ?] |
|
[1601 ?] |
Divers stuffs are imported which pay custom, such
as buffins, say, serge, bumbaseys, rasse, grogrens and others;
and the many strangers in the realm frame themselves only
to the making of such commodities. The Queen ought to
receive custom from such stuffs, as for those imported. There
is also a great hindrance to the custom of silks for which [Cecil]
pays the Queen custom, by the abundance which the strangers
make of tuft taffetas, wrought velvets, figured satins and other
sorts of silk mingled with thread and wool. Recommends
[Cecil] as a thing most pertinent to his former patent, to procure
the farming of the custom of all such foreign stuffs made in the
realm.—Undated. 1 p. (98. 50.) |
|
The Same to the Same. |
|
[1601 ?] |
On the same subject. If [Cecil] will obtain the
custom from the Queen, and will let it, Browne offers to rent
it at 80l. a week.—Undated. ½ p. (98. 51.) |

|
The Same to the Same. |
|
[1601 ?] |
On the same subject. Explains that the custom
will fall upon the consumer, and the maker have no reason to
complain. There is no reason to fear that it would drive the
makers out of the realm, for if they could live anything near
so well at home, considering they have had free liberty of
conscience for these 3 years, they would not have stayed so
long from their native country.

English Causes in France. |
|
[1601?] |
"State of the French King's commission for English
causes." The Queen has appointed commissioners of her
French marine causes, and the French King was said to have
done the like for English complaints; but his commission is
found defective, and only extends over the jurisdiction of the
Parliament of Rouen. The experience of this is now found in
the case of Alden against those of Treport, which being under
the resort of Paris, the officers of the Parliament there refuse
to obey the warrant of the commissioners. The Queen's
ambassador desired to have the commission authorised by other
courts of Parliaments, and the Chancellor Bellience at first
thought this reasonable, but on the suggestion of others it was
thought fitter that two commissions should be established, one
for the Admiralty of France at Rouen, the other for the
Admiralty of Guienne at Bordeaux. Arguments against this
course, and in favour of having one commission throughout
France. Notwithstanding these reasons M. de Villeroy will
not proceed further till he knows how the Queen likes of this
double commission; and being urged to verify the commission
in the court of Paris only, he only replied that he would acquaint
the King's procureur with it.

E[lizabeth] Dowager Lady R[ussell] to Sir Robert Cecil. |
|
1601. |
Sending my last letter of thanks to you, I received
answer that my man should not stay for answer, but that you
would send it me. Which not done, I preferred my petition
to the Council, who referred it to my Lord Chief Justice to call
him before him to answer and make relation to your Lordships.
Whereupon I sent to wait your pleasures yesterday; but your
leisures served me not; only my Lord Chief Justice said he
wished his brother Warberton had not done it, to the dishonour
of the Court, so much to the disadvantage of myself and others,
by disannulling what was done in Court by judges; and wished
the matter were ended. But alas, shall a poor widow that has
no other way of relief against an unjust judge but to complain
to the throne of justice? From whence shall I receive no
recompence for my corn, worth above 100 marks; nor for my
barn that cost 40l.; nor he that has thus wronged the Court
and me (when he was no judge): for that assure yourself that
your aunt has not spent so much money in law so many years
to be ignorant now, that justiciarii de Communi Banco be no
longer judges of the Common Pleas than during the term, though
the judges of the King's Bench be, that place representing her
Majesty's person. And shall a lady of my place be touched so
deeply in honour by a riot in her own liberty, where no sheriff
has to do; and in her own manor and parish, where she dwells:
and have no recompence to his shame and her relief? For God's
sake let me have my corn restored, and him unjusticed, or
openly reproved for his insolent breach of justice. I would
willingly lose a yearly value for one year of my copyhold that
he might lose his place, and my corn be restored. Your aunt
beggared by wrongs.

Christian, Lady Sandys to Sir Robert Cecil. |
|
[1601.] |
She begs the Queen's mercy for her poor Lord and
herself, whose case is most miserable. All they have is seized
by the sheriff for her Majesty's use. "My Lord" had not 20l.
in his house when he fell into this misfortune. His living was
too little to maintain them, and he owes 3,000l. She prays her
Majesty may give my Lord her gracious pardon, laying as great
a fine on him as she pleases. She offered her Majesty a letter,
and was informed by Lady Kilder (? Kildare) that she had been
pleased to read it. She was very desirous to thank her Majesty
for the stay of my Lord's arraignment, and has offered her all
they have to save my Lord's life and honour. It might be
thought little judgment to make that offer, but if she were put
to her choice to have never so great a jointure and lose my
Lord, or have him with nothing, she would choose him who is
dearer to her than her life. "It may please her Highness to
say I make a suit to her to take all we have. I dare put it to
her mercy, as it pleased her to say the other day I sued to her
to bring my Lord to his answer, which I meant nothing less,
though I well knew his true heart. I knew he could not answer
that he was drawn into that clay by that wild Earl's craft who
hath been and lucky (?unlucky) to many but never good to any.
I would he had never been born. "Expresses her obligations
to Cecil, in whom only they trust. Begs him to accept "this
small token of my own work."
