pp. 185–6. |
|
(1) Petition, dated 1660, Oct. 2, to the King from Sir
Anthony St. Leger, one of the Wardens of the Mint, praying
(in consideration of his constant loyalty and of his 18 years'
sequestration from his said office) a grant of the making and
disposal of the scales and weights for the King's coin, being a
usual appendage to petitioner's office. |
|
(2) Report hereon from Sir Geffery Palmer, Attorney
General, dated 1660, Nov. 7. "It appeareth that the abuse
and mischiefe by false and different gould weights and graines
is very great and that the best [method] to redresse the same
is to commit the oversight and making of all such weights and
graines to one or more skilfull and trusty person, and not to
suffer any sets of gould weights to be made for the future but
such only as should be agreeable to the full weights of the
standards and all others to be abolished." And I find that by
a proclamation made in the 29th year of Queene Elizabeth
against false and counterfeited peeces of gold it was commanded
the Warden of the Mint within the Tower of London to
prepare a sufficient number of upright balances and true
weights of every piece of current gold to be ready to be
delivered to all Her Majesty's subjects at reasonable rates, to
be sett by the then Lord Treasurer of England, and the same
were commanded to be used throughout England and Wales
and all other forbidden. And in the same proclamation it is
declared to be the office of the Warden of the Mint to make all
such ballances and weights. And it also appeareth by the
certificate . . . under the hand of the wardens of the mystery
of the Goldsmiths of London that the making, sizing and
setting of gold weights for His Majesties coynes doth properly
belong to the Warden of His Majesty's Mint. |
|
(3) Royal warrant, dated 1660. Nov. 12, to Sir Geffery
Palmer, Attorney General. For prevention of divers inconveniences we have thought fit that no sets or scales and weights
for our coin be made and used for the future but only such as
shalbe agreeable to the full weights of the standard. And
whereas the making and disposing of such scales and weights
is a usual appendage to the office of the Wardens of the Mint,
therefore you are to prepare a grant to Sir Anthony St. Leger,
one of the Wardens of the Mint, for the making and disposall
of the said scales and weights with such clauses of prohibition
and penalties as in former grants of the same to others. |

Warrant under the royal sign manual to the Clerk of the Signet
to prepare a privy seal to empower the Trustees for sale of
fee farms to accept the purchase money for same partly in
ready money and partly in paper orders registered on the fee
farms: the said fee farms not having "been sold so fast as
wee might have reasonably expected by reason whereof the
payment of such orders as have been registered thereupon
hath been much hindred and retarded to the great prejudice
of the persons concerned in the same and a great charge of
interest hath also been continued upon us; and whereas wee are
informed that several persons who are interested in those
orders wilbe willing to buy and take off some of those rents
provided their orders may be accepted in their respective
purchases in part of payment but are hindred therein by our
letters of privy seal bearing date 1669, Aug. 16, by which we
did direct that all monies which should be paid into the
Receipt of the Exchequer arising by sale of our said fee farms
and other rents should be issued thence for the payment of the
orders in course as they stand entered upon the register . . .
by reason whereof no order can be accepted in parte of payment
for any purchase but such as is then in course to be paid." For
the removing of this difficulty you may permit all holders of
registered orders to purchase fee farms and to pay for
the same such proportion in registered orders as you
think fit. For the future all such moneys as shall be paid
into the Receipt arising by such sales are to be issued
in the first place for the discharge of all orders for
real loans whether the moneys were originally lent into
the Exchequer or borrowed upon assignments by direction of
the Treasury Lords. After the discharge of such orders of
loan the remainder of such moneys shall be issued for the discharge of other orders for the use of the Navy, Ordnance,
Guards and Garrisons. Tangier, the Royal Household, Wardrobe and Treasurer of the Chamber in such course as the
Treasury Lords shall think fit, and thereafter the remainder
of such moneys shall be issued to pay off all other orders whatsoever in the course they now stand upon the register. This
method of repayment also (viz., (1) genuine loans, (2) public
services, (3) registered orders) is to be observed with the fund
constituted of orders transferred by Sir Ste. Fox and the
Cofferer (see supra p 883) and our further will and pleasure
likewise is that no interest be paid upon orders for fictitious
loans which shall grow due after the feast of St. Thomas the
Apostle next ensuing the date hereof: and for prevention of all
mistakes [as to] what loans are to be accompted reall and what
fictitious, our will and pleasure is that you cause a list to be
made of both, which being approved and signed by you [the
Treasury Lords] shall remain in the office of the Auditor of
the Receipt of our Exchequer as a rule how to proceed in this
matter." |

on the fee farms to purchase any of those rents paying such
proportion of their purchase money in [paper] orders as the
Treasury Lords shall think fit, we have given our instructions
