Warrant by Treasurer Oxford to the Customs Commissioners to
make and pass debentures in the usual form for William Lone for
drawback on tobacco. |
|
Prefixing: report dated 1714 June 30 by said Commissioners
on said Lone's petition. On the 27 April 1704 there was shipped
on board the William, William Stanes master, for Scotland, in
the name of the petitioner Lone, 12,236 pounds of tobacco. On
information that it was damaged it was sent for up and ex
amined but being Roll Tobacco it was then pretended that it
was due to excess liquor in the manufacturing, which tobacco
was prosecuted and nobody appearing to enter a claim the same was
condemned and a stop put to the passing the debenture. It appeares
by the oath of Thomas Sliford, the purchaser of the tobacco,
that the said Roll Tobacco was all sound and merchantable at the
time of shipment and that he did not give any order or permis
sion to his servants to work up or mix any damaged tobacco with
the said Roll Tobacco and that if any of it was found damaged
at the re-landing he believes such damage must have been caused
by the ship lying too long in the river and the quantity of liquor
used in the rolling which will cause the tobacco to heat and make it
subject to rot. It is alleged that Sliford absconded during the prosecu
tion and thereby the petitioner could not claim the goods as his own
nor as Sliford's, he not being to be found to give petitioner a power
to claim same. As the condemnation of the tobacco was for want
of the persons’ appearing to enter a claim we think the debenture
may be passed. Out Letters (Customs) XVI, pp. 149–50. |

Court of Sweden is but 100l. [for a quarter]: and as to the
article of 187l. 15s. 9d. for a campaign equipage I do find
that several of her Majesty's ministers have had allowances
on the like occasions for attending the Princes, with whom
they resided, in the field. However I submit this article

Followed by: Secretary Bolingbroke's allowance dated Whitehall
1714 June 25 hereof. “The usual allowance to Ministers
at the Court of Sweden is but 400l. per an. [for extraordinaries]
but as Mr. Jefferys was employed at Bender and consequently
must on that account have been put to very extraordinaries]
charges, finding also that 600l. per an. [for extraordinaries]
has been usually allowed to Ministers from her Majesty
to the Court of Vienna and to Muscovy I think it reasonable
Mr. Jefferyes during his residence in Turkey should be
allowed such of his demands as are after the rate of 600l.
per an. and accordingly I do allow 150l. of this bill for three
months.” |

for a Minister at] Sweden a Minister to that Court has no
more allowed him than 400l. per an. But Mr. Jefferyes's
case being wholly extraordinary and the articles of this
bill being such as deserve a particular consideration I think
an equitable allowance should be made him for those expenses
which he has necessarily incurred, though beyond the rule,
and I accordingly do recommend the several articles of this
bill to the favour of my Lord Treasurer.” |

Followed by: Secretary Bolingbroke's allowance dated Whitehall

being within the Regulation. As to the 6th article I find
that Mr. Pulteney had her Majesty's orders to send couriers
to Elsinburgh with the letters belonging to the subjects
of Great Britain and as his demand upon that head seems
reasonable I think it fit to be allowed. As to the seventh
Article the expense therein mentioned is of an extraordinary
nature and seems to have been necessary for the service
and I do therefore recommend it to my Lord Treasurer's
particular consideration. |

Mr. Pulteney had not her Majesty's particular order to
make that expense yet it seems to have been so necessary
for the service that it may be very reasonably reimbursed.
As to the 7th article Mr. Pulteney followed the King of
Denmark by order and therefore ought to have an allowance
for his extraordinary charges for his several journeys on
that account. But as to the sum of 90l. in this bill (as well
as the several sums which I find charged in subsequent

that his Secretary whom he left at Copenhagen was very
useful in assisting the British merchants whose ships were
then brought up and the service and the extraordinary
expense on that head may deserve a due consideration;
but as to the 150l. charged on that account I submit it to
my Lord Treasurer. As to the 8th article Mr. Pulteney
had the Queen's orders to go to the Danish army then in
Pomerania to represent some affairs to that King and
therefore a proper allowance ought to be made for his
extraordinary charges in that service but the sum of 250l.

Establishment. As to the fourth I find my Lord Bolingbroke gave
Mr. D'Avenant notice by the Queen's command 27 March 1711 of
her Majesty's intentions to send him to Switzerland and at the same
time directed him to prepare for his journey thither. But on the
19 April following her Majesty's pleasure was signified to him to
continue at Frankfort till further order. As to the fifth article it
appears Mr. Davenant was at Frankfort as was the Earl of Peterborough
during the election of the Emperor: but I cannot judge how far
that Congress might increase his expenses. As to the sixth article
I am assured Mr. D'Avenant came hither express from Frankfort
upon business of consequence with a Spanish gentleman concerned
in it. Upon these three last articles it is submitted to my Lord High
Treasurer whether Mr. D'Avenant is not entitled to some consideration
for his extraordinary expenses on these occasions.” Money Book
