Same to the Surveyor-General of Crown Lands for a particular of a

to a lease thereof to Henry Chubb for 3 lives for the tenement and
mills and for 2 lives additional to Eliz. Axford for her tenement:
at the former rents of 35s. and 34s. [sic ? 24s.] per an. |
|
Prefixing: said Surveyor's report on said Chubb's petition for same.
The tenement and mills have been held by petitioner's ancestors for
several ages past. By Norden's survey in the time of James I it
appears that the boundary of the manor of Bucklawren was the old
water course in the valley which ought to separate it from the adjacent manor of Penryn and though Mr. Norden was very curious
in observing all manner of encroachments or defects in the Prince's
revenue within his survey yet I find no notice in that survey of any
pretence then made by the tenants of Penryn beyond that valley.
But in 1649 the [Parliamentary] surveyors of that time found that
the tenants of Penryn had encroached divers quillets or parcels of
meadow ground on the east side of the said water course and claimed
them as belonging to their tenements and enquiry being made on
oath before the said surveyors it was found that the encroachment
had been certified to the Prince's Council Board in 1638 by Mr. Moyle
and others by virtue of a special commission, for which reason the
[Parliamentary] surveyors found the same to belong to the State
upon which Henry Chubb, petitioner's father, commenced a suit
but did not bring it to an issue before the Restoration and in 1664
the reversion in the tenement was obtained for the lives of the now
bishop of Exeter and his brother Charles Trelawney whose lives were
afterwards exchanged for those of two children of John Buller, Esq.,
whose interest this petitioner purchased at a very dear rate, being
then in a considerable way of trade and willing to preserve it in his
family, and coming into possession on the death of his father in 1683
he gave information at the audit in 1684 and thereupon a jury viewed
the premises and presented those encroachments and Mr. Harbord
then Surveyor-General, Mr. Fisher his deputy and Jno. Griffith
deputy Auditor [of the Duchy of Cornwall] "were all consented with"
and they waited on Sir John Ernley, then Chancellor of the Exchequer,
who with the advice of Sir Robert Sawyer, then Attorney-General,
gave order for prosecuting the offenders in order to recover the King's
rights and for preservation of the mills which were in danger of being
destroyed and are so still if the Penryn tenants should be allowed to
come over to the east side of the mill stream as they now lately
pretend to do; of which care ought to be taken. Petitioner prosecuted
the cause to the uttermost of his power even to his ruin and deserves
to be reimbursed his expenses of 205l. 13s. 2d. in this long suit in
the Exchequer. The mills are valued at 23l. per an. and are chargeable
to repair and no timber growing on the premises. I rate the extension
of lease (petitioner being 60 years of age) at 46l. under the old rent
of 35s. The other tenement now held by Eliz. Axford for life is surveyed at 15l. per an. I rate the renewal at 75l. under the old rent of
24s. per an. Ibid., pp. 247–8. |

Treasury warrant to the Farmers of the Royal Oak Lottery to

he hath for some time forsaken his wife and child and left them in a
starving condition and without any manner of dependence and hath
absconded and is not to be spoken with touching the same; whereupon
the King has by order of Council directed such assignment of a moiety
for their maintenance. Warrants not Relating to Money XV, p. 249. |
