	Mr. Decker [is] called in. His proposal relating to 10,000 tickets [in the 1714 Lottery as by 13 Anne, c. 18] is considered and agreed to.

				£
	to Mr. Cæsar, Treasurer of the Navy, out of Lottery money: for seamen's wages			30,000
	to same: out of ditto: to clear the first loan of the 300,000l. on South Sea Stock			50,000
				£80,000
	The [gentlemen of the] Bank [are] called in. The Governor represents their cashiers’ desire to know whether they can go on by virtue of their old commissions in receiving the Lottery money because of the alteration made by the new Act [13 Anne, c. 18, clauses 26 and 29]. My Lord Treasurer is of opinion they may, unless his Grace [my Lord Treasurer] should think fit to appoint other Receivers. [The cashiers also desire to know] whether they can receive from the [Lottery] Contributors a quarter now and another [quarter] before the 10 September, in regard the Act says they shall pay a moiety by the said 10 Sept. [13 Anne, c. 18, clause 33, says a quarter by Aug. 10 and a quarter by Sept. 10]. My Lord conceives that by this new Act they must receive the moiety at once.
	Upon Mr. Merrill's memorial [my Lord Treasurer] ordered [an issue to Mr. Howe of] 26,968l. for the service of the Guards and Garrisons anno 1714: out of [the 1714] Lottery money.
	The following propositions of Mr. Matthew Decker to Mr. Lowndes were read and considered: viz.
	Sir: I have considered the proposal you did me the honour to make and I find by my calculation that if I am to take the 40,000l. South Sea Stock at par and to be allowed to subscribe 10,000 tickets in the present Lottery it will be an equal share for each, being in hopes that I may be able to sell the tickets at 4s. advance which makes the loss to the other just equal. If you'll judge it proper to lay this proposal before my Lord Treasurer with my humble duty I leave it to your judgment.
	Treasury Chambers 20 Aug. 1714. Matthew Decker.
	Sir: Instead of 10,000l.[sic? for 40,000l.] South Sea Stock I am ready to take 50,000l. at par and pay for the same in money by the 29th of Sept. next or sooner: and I am contented that the 100,000l. contribution [to the Lottery] shall be in Mr. Caesar's name, in receipts of ten [£] for each receipt: and I will advance to him 20,000l. in money at least presently towards the first half: and I will complete the remainder of the 50,000l. by the 10th of September next or sooner and make good the second last quarterly payments on or before the times limited in the Act of Parliament [13 Anne, c. 18, for the 1714 Lottery]: and that all the receipts from the Receivers of the Lottery upon this Contribution shall remain in Mr. Caesar's hands till I shall have performed all the parts of this proposition as well in relation to the Contributions as to the purchase of the South Sea Stock. I am to have the advantage of the discount proportionably as I pay the money to Mr. Cæsar.
	20 August 1714. Matthew Decker.

	Mr. Brydges [is] called in. Several memorials or demands of [army] arrears on account of the late war are read. My Lord Treasurer says he must first see a state of all those demands (in regard of the small sum granted by Parliament towards satisfying them) before he can think it proper to give direction upon any particular craving.
	The Commissioners for Disbanding the late Marine Regiments are called in. Their report is read on a petition of the Subaltern Officers of those Regiments.
