The Treasury Lords to the [Earl of Arran] Lord Deputy of Ireland. We are informed of a decree given in the [Irish] Exchequer this last term for Sir John Champante against the Earl of Ranelagh and his partners for 24,000l. and odd hundred pounds, and that same will be executed with all expedition.
Give effectual order to the Irish Exchequer to take care that none of the arrears due from the country to the said undertakers nor any other effects whatsoever belonging to them in Ireland be applied to the satisfaction of said decree till the judgments given for the King upon the contract and the 24,000l. bond be fully paid. Any process that Champante may have had issued for bringing in the said debts or arrears towards his satisfaction is to be forthwith superseded and whatever money has been already collected by such process is to be forthwith paid into the Exchequer towards answering the said two judgments for his Majesty. |

The Treasury Lords to the [Earl of Arran] Lord Deputy of Ireland. Some of the late inhabitants of Tangier, that have money due to them from the officers of the four Independent Companies that went out of Ireland to Tangier, have given us a list of the debts due to them. Lord Dartmouth promised them that same should be made good as [and when] the said officers should be paid their arrears. Since the said officers arrived in Ireland they have been paid a great part of their arrears but no care is taken of their debts. We enclose a list of said debts, that due care may be taken therein to prevent clamour. |

Treasury warrant to the Clerk of the Signet for a privy seal to discharge William Cooke, late sheriff of co. Gloucester, of an arrear of Hearthmoney as follows. In the account stated by the auditor for said county the sum of 1,517l. 6s. 0d. is charged upon said Cooke for the half year ended 1664, Lady day. Therein 488l. 14s. 7d. is set [as a super] upon Constables as uncollected, 350l. is allowed as paid by said Cooke or his deputy into the Exchequer and 29l. 19s. 8d. is allowed for salaries. The total, 868l. 14s. 3d. thus leaves 648l. 11s. 9d. which is set [as the unpaid balance] upon said Cooke. But inasmuch as William Warner, who was deputy to said Cooke, wholly transacted that affair and received the money and is since dead so that the account cannot be sworn to nor allowance made therein without special warrant, the discharge as herein is to be granted to said Cooke, his heirs, lands, etc. of and from all the said sum of 1,517l. 6s. 0d. and every part thereof. |
