Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the petition of
Daniell Hutchinson, of Dublin, merchant, as by the order of
reference hereon from the Privy Council of date the 4th inst.
Said petition sets forth that there yet remains due to him
2,810l. on account of certain lands, &c., of his at Newtown
imparked for your Majesty's use in the deer park near Dublin,
and prays a confirmation of the report hereon made Sept. 9
last, by the Lord Lieutenant and Council of Ireland. We find
petition just and advise payment. |

Same to same from the Treasury Lords and from the Lords of
Ireland. In pursuance of the order in Council of the
19th Oct. last we have considered three several drafts of
letters transmitted from the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland for
your Majesty's approbation, viz. (1) a draft of a letter for
levying the year's value, the making a new applatment and
installing thereof: (2) another draft for prohibiting the
passing and making all sorts of brass pence and half-pence
without licence: (3) and one other draft touching a commission of enquiry upon lands belonging to your Majesty's manor
of Athlone, and granting leases or fee farms thereof. The two
latter drafts we entirely dislike, there being no occasion for
any other pence and half-pence there [in Ireland] than what
shall be current here [in England], which when resolved in the
case of [the proposal for making] farthings now depending here
will be current there and may be applicable to the occasions of
that kingdom. And as for leases or fee farms to be granted of
the said manor in the way proposed we apprehend it has been
matter of great dissatisfaction formerly and much uncertainty
still. But if convenient power be proposed to your Majesty by
advice of the Privy Council in England you may be pleased to
consider thereof. "And as to the said first draft there having
upon occasion of our debate there of come before us an accompt
of a composition proposed to the 29 men, and subscribed by
some of them, for what is due to them by the Acts of Settlement and Explanation, we are humbly of opinion that the
same though seemingly carring an advantage to your Majesty
is wholly unfit for your Majesty to admit of." As to the
matter of the rest of the said first draft for quickening the
execution of the said Acts for levying the [year's value of]
300,000l., your pleasure was fully declared in the former
direction of July 15 last. |

Report to the King on the petition of the merchants of the West
India Co. of France, praying payment to Peter Barre, merchant,
their attorney, of 2,438l. 10s. 1d., for goods taken into the
stores at Plymouth out of the ship "St. John Baptist," of
Hamburg. By a report of the Navy Commissioners it appears
that said goods were taken, to said value, and no compensation
has been made. Further it appears from the books in the
Registry Office of Prizes that said ship was not a prize. It
was seized in April, 1665, Jeronimo Wilkin, master, brought
into Portsmouth but discharged on the 23 June by the Commissioners for Prizes, pursuant to a decree of the Admiralty
Court. |

Act of Parliament (the said Farmers of Prizage wines,
petitioners herein, conceiving said wines not chargeable to
said duty), and that said Farmers of Prizage be suffered
for the future to enjoy such wines exempt from said additional
duty. |
