that in 1660, her husband compounded with the Trustees of
the late Queen Mother for a lease of two tenements and a
small piece of land in Spalding Lincoln. Of the fine of 85l.
her husband paid 42l. 10s. 0d. in 1661, and soon after died

pay the second moiety and said premises were granted to
another ; she therefore desires repayment of the first moiety

reasonable. By the privy seal of Aug. 7 last Sir Peter Ball,
the Attorney General to the late Queen Mother was appointed
to take care for the recovery, to the king's use, of all the
arrears of the said Queen's Receivers of revenue, to be paid

Coinage, and no tin ought to be sold or exported out of the
Stannaries of Cornwall and Devon unless it have the coinage

stealing of the said duty, whereby the revenue is decayed and
fair dealing merchants discouraged by being undersold by such
embezzlers. You are hereby to issue warrants to the Customs
officers of the ports of Devon and Cornwall to seize all tin that
shall be brought thither or carried on board any ship or vessel
to be exported not having the coinage stamp on the same ;

Treasurer Latimer to Mr. Spry. Sir William Smith tells me
you have a considerable interest in the tin mines, and that it
is your opinion and desire that the tin be brought to a certain
rate, to the intent the King may farm it rather than enlarge
his rent upon the commodity by way of coinage duty, and that
you think 4l. per hundred stannary weight would be a very fit
price for the King to pay. I think you have reason for your
opinion all but the rate of 4li. For I find from those who
understand this affair very well that if 6s. the hundred weight
more should be added to the 4s. coinage duty to be paid as they
do it would endanger the destruction of the tinners. For after
all their labour in digging and preparing it if they must pay
so much for it before they make anything of it, it would be a
great discouragement to them, which would be increased by the
uncertainty of the market and price which must always be
very low when the commodity is in so many hands. But for
the price me thinks it is a great advance from 3l. to 4l. for
find that to be the rate till 1643. Yet nevertheless since I know
you are a person of understanding and can make a right
judgment of things I shall advise the King to comply with
your opinion and give way that the rate may be 4l. the hundred
stannary weight. You saw the rate of 4l. 10s. was so unreasonable
that it effected nothing, for nobody could do any good
upon the farm at that rate, neither could the tinners
(although they have paid the King nothing for his preemption)
keep the tin up to that price. The best knowledge is from
experience, and now they have tried new devices and find them
unfruitful I hope they will naturally incline to their old way
which so many ages have found good. I have a great opinion
of your prudence and desire you to make [use] of it to bring
this affair to a right settlement in the Convocation [of
tinners] which service I am sure His Majesty will take very
well from you.

Appointment by Treasurer Latimer of John Howland for the
purpose as follows. John Birch. Edward Wingate and Edmund
Wareing, Commissioners for the late Wine Act, in their report
of Dec. 9 last represented the state of their Commission and that
though they had a salary of 500l. per an. each for some time
after they entered upon that service, when the receipt grew
small the late Treasury Lords allowed them after the same
proportions for the term time only which continued till the
end of Michaelmas term last : but that the receipt is now so
small that should they attend all the term time and receive
the salary accordingly the charge would nearly equal the
receipts. And they therefore therein propose the appointment
of some person as solicitor to prosecute merchants, vintners
and others remaining still indebted to the Crown, either on the
first or second Wine Act. In accordance herewith and at the
request of Mrs. Dorothea Colvile, widow (to whom such money
when recovered is in course to be paid), I hereby appoint
John Howland to prosecute all such merchants, vintners and
others mentioned in the book hereunto annexed [wanting] and
all other debtors to the King in reference to the said Acts : he
giving an account hereof to me from time to time and the said
Commissioners to assist when required.

Report to the King from Treasurer Latimer in obedience to the
order in Council of Dec. 17 last, made upon hearing several
former orders read in Council and a report of Viscount Ranelagh
concerning 10,031l. 6s. 11d. ordered to be paid to Thomas
Morrice, Esq. and William Dodson. farmers of the Customs
and Excise of Ireland in 1658, out of the 35.271l. 9s. 4d.
arrear due to the King for the Custom and Excise of Ireland
"whereby [by said order in Council of Dec. 17 last] your
Majesty is pleased to order that the sum of 3,697l. 14s. 1d.
part of the said debt should be paid to the said Thomas Morrice
and William Dodson or their assigns out of your Majesty's
revenue of Ireland, and that I should call before me the
Lord Ranelagh and the said Mr. Morrice and to consider and
settle the best ways and means for payment of the said sum of
3,697l. 14s. 1d. the residue being only payable by your
Majesty as [in proportion as] it shall be made appear what
more of the arrears of the said 35,271l. 9s. 4d. hath been or
shall be received." I find that there is no part of the revenue
of Ireland, or of what is payable of the said residue, free
to be charged with the said 3,697l. 14s. 1d. until after 25 Dec.,
1675, at which time the contract with Visct. Ranelagh will
determine. I think it should be met out of the first moneys
which shall be paid into the Irish Exchequer after that date.
As to the residue of the said 10,031l. 6s. 11d. it may be
similarly paid when it shall be made appear that more of the
said arrears of 35,271l. 9s. 4d. hath been received.

Report to the King from Treasurer Latimer on the petition of
Col. Edward Villiers, who prays a new lease, on surrender, of
the lighthouse of Tynemouth and the ground and soil whereon
same is situate, the said lighthouse being built at his own
charge, and to include I herein a house be is now building near
adjoining to said lighthouse, containing 3 roods or thereabouts
at the yearly rent of 5s, and that the said house and
the inhabitants thereof might be free from quartering soldiers.
Said petition was referred to Treasurer Clifford and by him to
Sir C. Harbord to report whether it might not interfere with
the right of succeeding Governors to have a house within the
castle of Tynemouth. Hereupon Harbord wrote to the Mayor
of Newcastle and other persons of trust there who replied that
they conceived that said ground might conveniently be granted
to petitioner for the reception of himself and family and those
employed to inspect and attend said lighthouse, and that such
a house for so public and necessary a service (though inhabited
by persons not entrusted with the government of said castle of
Tynemouth) cannot be any matter of danger or mischief to the
safety or defence thereof in time of hostility. I have further
referred the matter to the Master of the Ordnance and in reply
the officers of the Ordnance concur with Sir C. Harbord.
I therefore conceive that petitioner's request may be granted in
regard of the public benefit of said lighthouse built within the
said Castle, and the necessity of a habitation for those
interested and employed therein.

Royal warrant to Treasurer Latimer. By the patent of 1672,
Oct. 7, John Lyndsey, of London, goldsmith, was admitted to
purchase 25,684l. 2s. 1d. in fee farms, being the sum
remaining due from the Crown to the city of London of
the loan of 60,000l., said Lyndsey also undertaking to purchase
further fee farms to the value of 36,000l. in satisfaction of so

[inter al.] fee farm rents as in schedule below, which particular
rents "being rents of such natures as are excepted (or supposed
to be so) by the late Acts of Parliament made for the sale of
our fee farms and other rents cannot so well and legally be

other rents unto the said John Lyndsey and his heirs as was
intended without our letters patent in that behalf." In view
of said Lyndsey's service, he being very far advanced in the
liquidation of said 25.684l. 2s. 1d. to the city, and having
advanced the greater part of said 36.000l. to Sir Stephen Fox,
Paymaster of the Forces, for the King's immediate service,
you are therefore to give warrant to the Attorney General to
prepare a great seal containing a grant of all the rents as in
the schedule below to Lord Hawley, Sir C. Harbord, Sir Wm.
Howard, Sir John Talbot and Wm. Harbord, surviving
Trustees for Fee Farms, in trust to be by them conveyed to
