Report to the King from Treasurer Danby on the petition
of the Mayor and Aldermen of London as by the
order of reference of June 16 last. The Agents for
Taxes had conference with several of the Commissioners
for the Eighteen Months' Assessment for
London and the Receiver and Solicitor for same.
From their report I find that petitioners assessed the
whole sum charged on the city by the said assessment
and have done their best to get it in but by reason
of many empty houses and tofts unbuilt (rateably
assessed with inhabited houses) there is a shortage
of 1,063l. 16s. 11d. over and above the 800l. per
mensem mentioned in the petition, which your
Majesty (when the assessment was first agreed to)
promised to abate out of the 5,091 11s. 4d. monthly
charged on the city by the Act : so that the total
shortage is 14,400l. (for 18 months of said 800l. a
month) and 1,063 16s. 11d. or 15,463l. 16s. 11d. in
all. I conceive this may reasonably be abated.

of Ireland (dated the 24th ult.) that in consideration

new [Irish Revenue] Farmers' advance money or out

merchants of the King's Plantations setting forth
that one Andrew Orgill had invented a way of casting
iron cases whereby the outsides of the rollers of those
engines which squeeze the sugar canes were so cased
in that it was of very great advantage and saving to
them and the charge inconsiderable : whereby his
Majesty's subjects were enabled to sell cheap and in
a fair way of spoiling the sugar trade belonging to
other nations who wanted [lacked] the help of this
invention : and that therefore great endeavours
were used by strangers to draw out of the kingdom
some of the said cases which are not elsewhere to be
procured than from his Majesty's subjects and that
on Wednesday last there were 12 of the said iron cases
shipped by one Tho. Hunt on board the Prosperous,
Tho. Evans master, bound for Rouen to go to the
French Plantations : wherefore petitioners pray prohibition
as above which the King hereby grants and
so orders as above.
