The Chimney Farmers called in: present a paper of the reasons
of their not yet having given in their rolls. My Lords tell them
that they have failed to pay in their 15,000l. for last month. They
say the reason is because the 4 per cent. is taken by them that
advanced their money which comes to about 19,000l. and so they
who advanced none can't go on in paying the 15,000l. per mensem.
They present a paper which is read and they say there's about
50,000l. yet due from them [? from them to the Government or to
them from their officers of the Hearth money or from them to their
loaners]. Ordered that they bring in a list of what is owing from
their officers and sub-farmers, in two columns, the one containing

tell them they must continue to pay the 15,000l. per month till
all is paid. Letters to be sent to all the sub-farmers [of the Hearth
