Report from same to the King on a draft royal warrant as follows (addressed to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the Commissioners of Accounts and Chancellor, Treasurer, Barons of the Exchequer, Treasury Commissioners, etc. [Ireland]). By the Act[s] of Settlement and Explanation the Duke of York is entitled to reprisals for great scopes of land restored to former proprietors thereof, and which were formerly set out to or possessed by regicides. We therefore directed that he should be so reprized in the first place and that particulars should be made out of the forfeited lands in cos. Dublin, Louth and Kildare, whether in custodiam or not, and that such lands should continue in the possession of said Duke until he was reprized as above, and that all the rents, profits, etc., of those lands so in custodiam or not, and so to be granted to said Duke should be paid to him and when granted should be freed and exonerated from all custodiam or other rents, and that no person should be molested for any rent paid to him. Pursuant hereto several lands were granted to him for his use in order to [secure] his reprize, and the rents thereof were received by his agents. By the neglect or omission of said Duke's Receivers or Agents the quit rents or custodiam rents reserved to the Crown by custodiams were not paid into the Exchequer, by which a great arrear of rent is grown [due to the Crown] before [the time of] the late farm of the revenue of Ireland. This arrear is demanded from him by Visct. Ranolagh and his partners : "of which burden we are willing to ease him [said Duke] and to free his lands from payment of what is or may be due for or by reason of such custodiams," and to grant to said Visct. Ranelagh and partners an allowance or defalcation of such arrear in their accompt. The Clerk of the Pipe Roll, with whom such custodiams are entered, is therefore to certify to the Exchequer Court, Ireland, the rents of such custodiams, first deducting the quit rents of all such lands included in such custodiams as have been discharged by orders of the Exchequer Court of Ireland, and thereupon said Court is to make up said account and to discharge said Duke and his lands from the payment of said rent and all other rents whatsoever due to us from him or his lands, expressing in such order of discharge the sum so discharged that so the same may appear at a certainty. Also letters patent are to pass the great seal of Ireland for the discharge of said Duke from the said custodiam rent, or otherwise one or more Exchequer acquittances are to be made and perfected for the full and effectual discharge of said custodiam rent : and full allowance upon their accompts is to be made to Visct. Ranelagh and partners for such sums so discharged. Said warrant as above "coming with the approbation and recommendation of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland" was referred the 12th inst. to Treasurer Danby, who hereby approves of same. Ibid, pp. 86-7.
