Out Letters (General) XIV, pp. 269–70.
July 9.	Appending: (a) report by said Attorney dated July 9 concerning said Grosvenor's title. In the first year of Car. I. Lionel, then Earl of Middlesex, Nicho. Herman and Thomas Catchmay, claiming by conveyances under the Crown, conveyed to Hugh Aydley six acres of meadow in Chelsea Mead and Thames Mead formerly purchased of the Abbot of Westminster and parcel of the bailiwick of Neat and manor of Eybury and Longmore: of which premises 6 acres and 2½ acres are the lands in question. In Nov., 1662, Hugh Audley conveyed to Thomas Davies divers lands in Middlesex by particular name (since purchased by said Grosvenor) and to Alexander Davies other part with general words of “all his lands in Middlesex,” which were sufficient to pass those 2½ acres. By lease dated 1663, Aug., said Alexander conveyed the premises to Luke Killingworth and Edward Green to the use of himself and heirs. By deed of Jan. last said Grosvenor and his lady effected a re-settlement to certain uses by fine and recovery of all the lands of said Alexander, including the 2½ acres in Chelsea Meadow and the 4½ acres in St. James's Park. But though a fine be levied, yet there is no recovery suffered and until that be done the remainders over limited upon Alexander's settlement will not be barred, but that being done Sir Thomas may make a good title.				Out Letters (General) XIV, pp. 269–70.

[?]	Treasury warrant to the Customs Commissioners to pay 102l. 10s. 0d. to Henry Stancombe of Bristol, grocer, on his paying 205l. to the Customs Cashier for a debt on tobacco bonds; he having unfortunately been drawn into acquaintance with one Wheeler of Bristol, who engaged him in a design of sending a considerable quantity of tobacco to Ireland, but unknown to Wheeler managed an intrigue with the master to cast away the vessel in a place where the goods might be privately saved and the debenture fraudulently recovered, whereby Stancomb lost over 600l. and is in debt to other creditors beside the 205l. to the Crown and is forced to abscond and must either be in gaol or leave the kingdom unless the Crown accept a composition of 10s. to the £.

	Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the Customs Commissioners' presentment (referred to them June 21 last) for preventing ships trading from Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania to Scotland and Ireland contrary to the Acts of Trade and Navigation. We are satisfied that the merchants who trade fairly and lawfully to Virginia and Maryland have just cause to complain of the prejudice they receive from these ships which thus unlawfully go from Scotland and Ireland to Virginia etc. as above and from thence back again to Scotland and Ireland, and also that this practice is very injurious to the revenue arising by the Customs and New Impositions.				Warrants not Relating to Money XIV, p 320.
	After serious consideration we think the most effectual means to stop same is that proposed in the Customs Commissioners' memorial of March 22, viz. that a small vessel of competent force with a commander well experienced in the affair and every way fitly qualified may be appointed to cruise in the bay within the Cape of Virginia and elsewhere, with power to examine all ships passing out or in and likewise to inspect the clearing of ships in the collectors' books in order to the discovery of forged cocquets or certificates: the said [ship's commanding] officer to be under the inspection of the Governor of the said Colonies. It will be some further security against the said illegal practice if the Governors of the said Colonies be directed to transmit to England more frequently than they now do the lists of all ships that clear in the Plantations.				Warrants not Relating to Money XIV, p 320.
