took up 6 hogheads more, who by the advice of Tho. Fowler and
Lewis Gillet, two of the Custom House officers, would not lodge it
with the other [11 hogsheads] but carried it to other places where it
has since been embezzled; that afterwards the said officers broke
open the petitioner's cellar and pretended that the wine was forfeited to his Majesty but petitioner is advised that there is no Duty
on the said wine neither ought it to be forfeited, several wrecks of
like nature having before passed without dispute: therefore praying

Same to Mr. Blathwaite. By the King's command the Treasury
Lords sent to the Lord Deputy, of Ireland, the petition of Col. Henry
Lutterell praying a grant of his brother Col. Symon Lutterell's estate.
Since the death of the Lord Deputy my Lords have received a report
from the Attorney-General, Ireland, by direction of the late Lords
Justices there and several other papers relating thereto; by which
it appears that the King "condescended to the promise made to
the said Col. Henry Lutterell" by General Ginkle now Earl of Athlone
on the surrender of Limerick that he should hold the said estate
under the like tenures as his predecessors held the same; that he
has at present only a 3 years' custodiam thereof from 1694,
March 25; that by an affidavit of a letter dated at the Camp before
Namur, 28 June, 1695, and a copy of a proviso intended to be inserted
in an Act of Parliament ("both attested by Mr. Secretary Aldworth")
it further appears that there was such direction given by the King
for securing the said estate to petitioner as he sets forth. Please
lay this before the King for his pleasure whether a grant shall pass
to petitioner and his heirs of the said estate as prayed. Ibid., p. 117. |

of the money paid there; my Lords being satisfied that the money for
insurance, interest, freight, tunnage [duty] and Customs ought to
have no reduction made thereupon. You are to assign the said bill
for payment upon such money as my Lords shall appoint for the
same. Ibid. |

Treasury reference to Samuell Travers [Surveyor-General of Crown

waste ground belonging to the Crown upon which he built two large
wings on the Lord Chancellor's promise that he had obtained a grant
of the said waste ground for 99 years at a pepper corn rent: which
said building stood him in 4,000l.: and that after the Revolution Sir
Henry Fane obtained a grant of the said waste ground and by virtue
thereof has possessed himself of the premises without any satisfaction
[to petitioner] for same: therefore praying satisfaction of his said
4,000l. the said petition being referred June 29 last from the King

inst." nor have the court rolls been delivered or any rent paid for
the premises save for 1½ years ended 1688, Michaelmas, during which

Treasury warrant to the Excise Commissioners to deliver up and
cancel the bonds of the saltmakers at Droitwich as follow to the
value of 754l. 3s. 7½d.: it appearing from the said Commissioners'
report of March 27 last on the said saltmakers' petition that under
an Act of 6 Wm. and Mary [5 Wm. and Mary C. 7] the officers
might seize all salt which after March 25 [1694] should be carried
by land or water without a warrant "and it not being possible for
the officers who found salt conveying or carrying by land or water
to judge what salt was made before and what salt was made after
the said 25 of March, 1694, some doubt did arise whether all salt
delivered from the salt works from and after that time should not
have a certificate from the officer for the carrying thereof and consequently pay the Duty, the end of the certificate being to testify
that the Duty had been paid"; and there were in the hands of the
proprietors of the salt works at Droitwich great quantities of salt
amounting to 16,436 bushels made before the said date but not removed or delivered to customers and the officers insisted that the
Duty thereon should be paid before delivery: from which claim the
said proprietors petitioned to be relieved: whereupon the Excise
Commissioners submitted to the King's Counsel the point whether
same was so chargeable under the Act and Mr. Wilcocks then one
of the Excise Commissioners (being on his survey of the said saltworks
at Droitwich) took bonds to the above amount from them for the
Duty thereon with a defeasance endorsed thereon that the question
of liability should be decided by the Barons of the Exchequer [within
6 months.] "Wherefore, inasmuch as the Duty for salt was to be raised
and paid to his Majesty from and after the 25 March, 1694, and the
charge on salt made at the saltworks was for salt made after the said
25 March, 1694, and the entry directed to be made by the proprietors
with the officers was of salt so made, which must be intended [construed
as] to be made after the said 25 March, 1694, and the liberty given to
the officers to seize salt carrying or conveying by land or water was
of such salt, which [words] ought to have the like intendment, and it
not being possible for the obligers to procure any legal judgment
or determination from the Barons of the Exchequer within 6 months
time limited for payment of the money by the respective conditions
of the said bonds" therefore the Excise Commissioners are of opinion
that the said bonds ought not to be enforced. |
