and hath since been very willing to part with parcels of his farms
for that service and by his example encouraged other proprietors
without whose consent this season would have been lost. I rate
the new lease at 2,363l. from which I allow 456l. for his present
interest in the said 17 acres and 23½ acres so deducted as above
thus leaving 1,907l. as the total fine. This computation is made
without any regard to petitioner's pains in stating and engrossing
the accounts for Yorkshire, Durham and Northumberland [of Crown
Revenues] many years. I think he deserves to receive thereout
the 50l. per an. which was agreed to be paid by the late Auditor
Stevens but which remains unsatisfied for 13 years, making 650l. |

As to Capt. Moor's pretensions it is certified by Lord Cutts and
acknowledged by Capt. Moor that Aldworth paid him 200l. on the
purchase. Warrants not Relating to Money XVI, pp. 134–5. |

Money warrant for 500l. to Nathaniell Booth for two years 1693
June 24 to 1695 June 24 on his salary as Surveyor of Greenwax
in the Court of Exchequer as by the grant of 1689 Sept. 5: he having
represented that by reason of the great allowances to sheriffs for
apprehending highwaymen &c. he cannot be paid his salary in the
usual manner by the Office of the Pipe. (Money order dated Oct.
25 hereon). Money Book XIV, p. 187. Order Book V, p. 12. |
