Prefixing: undated report by said Commissioners to the Lord Treasurer. We have of late received several informations of divers frauds committed and of the illegal trade carried on in her Majesty's Colonies and Plantations on the Continent of America to the great prejudice and loss of the trade and revenue of this kingdom. We are of opinion it is impossible for one person to survey and inspect the several officers established there and to keep them to a due performance of their duties, the said Continent being upwards of 1,200 miles in length. We advise dividing the Continent into two Surveys, Southern and Northern as above and we recommend Col. Quarry for the Southern Survey and Robert Armestrong for the Northern Survey. We have received from said Armestrong a very full and particular account of the condition and situation of the Northern Governments which is hereto annexed [missing] he having been formerly Secretary to the late Lord Bellomont when Governor of New York and New England and also Naval Officer under his lordship for New Hampshire in New England and resided in those parts a considerable time and appears a person very fitly qualified, as being knowing in the Acts of Trade and Navigation as well as the laws and constitutions of those parts. |
|
Since the dismission of Mr. Jahleel Brenton, the late collector of Boston who did by virtue of his patent appoint deputies under him at several other ports in New England &c. who were also of course
dismissed, no collectors have been established there except Mr. John Jekyll the present collector at Boston. We have lately received several informations from Col. Quarry and from the said Mr. Armstrong and from merchants residing here that for want of officers in New England illegal trade is there carried on without obstruction. We find there is an absolute necessity of appointing more officers in those parts not only to prevent such illegal trade but for putting in execution the Act of 3 and 4 Anne, c. 9, for encouraging the importation of naval stores from the Plantations and other laws relating to trade and navigation there. We therefore propose Shannon, Kay and Blechyden for places as above. Out Letters (Customs) XV, pp. 179–82. |

Tomkins; that during the war he bought above 70,000l. from the Prizes Commissioners, great part thereof for the said Tomkins and upon his failing an extent came out against the petitioner for 8,835l. 3s. 4d. which was his ruin; that upon the said extent 240l. was levied though on the balance of the account there was due but 150l. 15s. 0d.: therefore prays relief.

We have computed the salaries of the Lords of Session from 25 Sept. 1708 as her Majesty's letter which increases their salary intimates that their addition shall commence from 1708 March 25 and in pursuance thereof they have received two quarters' salaries. We have computed the salary of Robert Stewart of Tillicultry to the date of dismission and of Dougall Stewart of Blairhall from the date of commission which they esteem a hardship, supposing one of them to be entitled to the whole salary. We do not conceive our power to extend so far as to allow them the same. |
|
In the Establishment transmitted to us Sir David Dalrymple's and Mr. Carmichael's allowance as Solicitors are omitted: and the salary of the doorkeepers and messenger of Exchequer are directed to be computed from 25 March 1709 although they have received nothing from 1 May 1708. |
