Treasurer Danby to Sir Job Charleton, Chief Justice
at Chester. There have been continual disputes
and controversies between the Commissioners for
co. Denbigh about the decays of Ruthin as since
the Restoration they have failed to assess [thereon]
the full charge and proportion of money limited
by several acts of Parliament. By reason hereof
there is an arrear on all former taxes. The
particulars of such arrears are enclosed [missing]
and ought to be forthwith levied on the said
counties. There have been several endeavours
used to compose and reconcile said differences, but
nothing yet effected therein. Upon the desire and by
consent of both parties concerned I refer the whole
examination hereof to you for you to call them
before you at the next general sessions for the
county, and cannot doubt you will finally determine
it, being an important service both to the King
and country.

Instructions from Treasurer Danby to the Customs
Commissioners, in reply to their presentments of
March 25 last. (1). I approve of such of the
securities of the Collectors of London and of the
outports as are certified as good by Henry Potkins,
examiner of the sufficiency of said securities. Where
he notes them as insufficient or defective you are
to require fresh ones. (2). Charles Orchard,
Customer of Barnstaple, is to undertake the collection
there for his patent salary in the room of Jacob
Westcombe. You are to allow him 10l. per an.
for a clerk. As you say he is reputed a very good
officer you are also to depute him as Collector at
Bideford, loco John Hill, late Collector. (3). The
Collector and Comptroller of Milford and riding
Surveyor of South Wales having certified the
place of John Daniel, waiter at Milford, to be useless,
his place is to be retrenched and his salary of
5l. per an. is to be proportioned to three tidesmen
to be settled without any further charge to the King,
viz., John Grant at Nangle with 2l. per an. salary,
Philip Smith at Pill with 1l. per an. salary, and
John Revel at Dale with 2l. per an. salary.
(4). Mr. Litcott is to forbear surcharging the
Collector of Liverpool with the 10l. which by the
Act of Tunnage and Poundage is due for a parcel
of undressed cloth imported from the Isle of Man
by Henry Taylor, same being but of the value of
15s., and being of the manufacture of said isle
and imported thence to be milled and so to be
returned, and that said Collector be charged only
with the Custom ad valorem which he has received.
(5). You are to establish the following as the charge
for the yearly maintenance of a smack at Yarmouth
for the service of that port, viz., 36l. to John Guppy
the master, 16l. to a mate, 30l. for 2 men, 45l. 12s. 0d.
for victuals at 7d. a day [per man] or total
127l. 12s. 0d. : the establishment to relate to the
last quarter or to so much thereof as said smack
was employed. The wear and tear (which is not yet
agreed) is to be paid out of incidents. (6). You
are to make allowance to Mr. William Hutt,
merchant, of 10l. 0s. 4d. for damage upon a parcel
of wrecked hemp and flax, paying him same out
of his deposit thereon : you having desired my
direction herein because said goods have been
out of the custody of the officers. (7). You are
to burn for a public terror the two boats at Yarmouth
which have been prosecuted at the King's charge
by Michael Walford, tide surveyor there, and
condemned for smuggling uncustomed goods. A tally
is to be struck for discharging the said officer of the
King's moiety. (8). I approve of the securities
of Thomas Emys as Collector of Penryn (viz., George
Robinson and Samuel Emys in 500l.) and of Thomas
Tregosse as same of St. Ives (viz., Humphrey
Nicoll and James Incledon in 300l.).

Warrant from Treasurer Danby to the Customs
Commissioners to allow the tenth part of the
Customs on the two voyages as below of the ship
President belonging to Sir Mathew Andrews and
partners : you having reported to me Feb. 21 last
that said ship is qualified under the Act of 22 and
23 Car. II. and was launched 1672, Oct. 15, was
taken by the Dutch in the East Indies with her
lading outward bound in Aug., 1673, and by them
sent to Holland and there bought for the use of said
owners and so brought from Holland with her ballast
only to London in 1675-6 : "but whether (the
property having been altered by the capture) this
should be accompted a voyage to have the allowance
by the Act accordingly (it being a matter of law)
you proposed might be advised by the King's
Counsel" : the Attorney General having returned
his opinion thereon that said ship being taken
outward bound and returned empty is not to be
accompted the first voyage, but that she ought to
have allowance for two other voyages, her first
such other complete voyage being to and from
Bantam.

Same from same to same to direct the Customs Solicitor

abuse intended to be committed in the transportation
of a very great quantity of calf skins and iron
bullets supposed to be for Dieppe when the same
were shipping on board a small vessel lying at the
mouth of the Haven ; they having given information
thereupon to Daniel Hawkins, an officer, who seized
the said ship and goods : it being found upon
examination that same was by connivance of the
officers of Newhaven : and an information being
exhibited against said ship as forfeited, the pretended
proprietor has brought great actions against said
seven poor men and against the officers.

same month partially relaxed by declaring same
to be intended only for such ships as belong to and
are sailed by his Majesty's subjects, and that they
also should be permitted to trade from port to port
in England and Wales upon security not to trade
elsewhere. By advice of the Admiralty Lords
the King has been pleased further to declare, in
explanation of the abovesaid order, that such
ships as belong to and are sailed by his subjects
of Scotland shall be permitted to depart and to
trade between England and Scotland on security
not to trade elsewhere. You are hereby to observe
the King's pleasure hereon.

by moieties for the rebuilding of St. Paul's Cathedral

to the use of St. Paul's Cathedral, which was contrary
