Prefixing: report by said Surveyor General on the petition of said Craggs et al. The buildings are but mean & much incommoded by the back part of the houses in the Pall Mall which are almost contiguous thereto. In 1701 when Wm. III declared his pleasure for a grant thereof to the Earl of Albemarle I estimated at 150l. the annual value of the dwelling house if rebuilt & if the garden continued open as it then was & still is. The Earl was unaware of the lease in trust for the Queen Dowager as a security for 2000l. His coming to the knowledge thereof prevented his further proceedings therein. The present petitioners have paid the 2000l. to Sir Richard Bellings “& have thereupon got a surrender made to her present Majesty of the remainder of the” 99 years' lease. There should be a covenant that the garden be not built into tenements but be continued open as it now is. Warrants not Relating to Money XX, p. 253. |
