Appending: (a) constat of said premises: being an extract by Auditor John Phillips from the ministers' account, 9 Charles I, being the account of Agmondesham Pickays, Receiver General for co. Norfolk, temp. Car. I, of the rental due from Sir Thomas Walsingham, kt., first fee farmer of the said manor which comprises 300 acres of land, 200 acres of meadow and 1,000 acres of marshland, as found by an inquisition at Southwark taken before Sir Henry Mildmay et al., detailed, which found that said manor was in the fee of John, Earl of Holder-ness, at his death by military service and that by his death without heirs it escheated to the Crown and was then in grant to said Walsingham by patent dated 1633, May 31, at 10l. per an. rent. |
|
(b) (c) Auditor S. Travers' memorandum and ratal of said constat. In Easter term, 1650, Sir Thomas Walsingham pleaded a disclaimer under the said letters patent, whereupon the then Attorney General “confessed his plea and judgment [was given] of amoveas manus and these eight years' arrears due at Michaelmas, 1650, under discharge; but on the Restoration of his late Majesty King Charles the 2nd the fee farm rent of 20l. was again put in charge but never yet answered and remains now in super.” The consideration for this lease is the great costs the lessee must necessarily be at in recovering the premises for the future advantage of the Crown. (Treasury warrant accordingly dated Feb. 4 hereon to the Clerk of the Pipe for said lease: and see infra, p. 1141, under date 1695, July 2.) |

Vaughan and Capt. Noakes and the seamen then on board them buy the said ship Warrington to prevent her being carried into Dunkirk as the Milford was, or being burned as D'Bart intended, he having unrigged her and disarmed her in order to it; that he soon after gave notice thereof to the Admiralty Lords, hoping to be reimbursed his cost and expenses and that she would be employed in his Majesty's service, but the Navy Commissioners represented that she was not fit for the service, “and his Majesty having since paid Mr. Gracedrew, her owner, for the same,” she lies still useless upon petitioner's hands in Norway, wherefore petitioner prayed the King to accept said ship and reimburse his cost and expense or else to grant him a discharge for the same with a licence to convert her to his own use: on which petition the Customs Commissioners reported Jan. 17 last that he seemed to have an equitable title to the ship and that they had nothing to object to his desire; he intending to repair and fit her as a merchantman or privateer. |

The said McCartney's surety bonds are hereby to be cancelled, but his said executors are first to give security to prove or justify the debts on the abovesaid bonds for 353l. 8s. 2d.
