Treasury reference to Auditor Parsons of the petition of the seven orphans of James Innes, shewing that their father for his loyalty and services before and in the Restoration suffered to the extent of 1,800l. in his estate besides the loss of his place, hazard of his life and five years' outlawry and exile in the late times of the usurpation: that in 1670, being authorised by the King to use his endeavours to procure the last London loan, to encourage others thereto he spared not that little mite of livelihood he had left but lent so mnch as amounts with principal and interest at 6 per cent. to 824l. one half whereof is not yet satisfied, he resolving to wait until he could find out some expedient which might best consent with the convenience of your Majesty's occasions. Petitioners have now made discovery of about 600l. owing to the King by William Cook, formerly sheriff of co.

"In the year 1670 Mr. James Innes was authorized and employed by his Majesty and the then Commissioners of the Treasury in procuring of a loan of a very considerable sum of money from the citizens and inhabitants of London and was very useful and serviceable to his Majesty therein and did himself lend divers sums of money which I believe were not all paid him, nor satisfaction made for his great services therein, though often promised it. And I do further certify that I doe know and am assured that the said James Innes was a very loyall person and a very great sufferer in the late times."

But upon some misinformation or pretence that petitioners had no right to the pay of those deceased soldiers, said order was stopped to the ruin of petitioners who have good right and title thereto as may appear by certificate, several debentures and letters of attorney. Two previous petitions have miscarried. Pray redress. Ibid, p. 268.

Lawrence: that they have often prayed a privy seal for said sums as has been already done to others concerned in debts of the same nature and that the former privy seal for the ship Batchelour might be vacated as the sum thereby granted is 620l. short of what is their just due. But after long attendance petitioners can receive no effectual answer, which must arise from their case being misunderstood. Therefore pray a hearing. Ibid, p. 270.

Prays the payment of the 2s. a day from the time of the first payment to others of his fellow soldiers and some further share in his Majesty's bounty as others have had. Ibid, p. 271.

May 9. Henry Guy [to the Customs Commissioners] forwarding (a) infra, which the Treasury Lords have received from a gentleman of whose integrity and ability they have a very good opinion. Proceed thereon as you think best for his Majesty's service. Out Letters (General) VI, pp. 244–5.
Appending: (a) unsigned letter to the Treasury Lords dated Bristol, 1681, April 25. I find you have made a considerable alteration in the officers in this port. I know some of the new ones are as bad as the old. You may remember that I proposed advancing some men's salaries to [by] 100l. per an. amongst them and offered to engage for their honesty in future, one of which men is since dead and three turned out of their places. I am bold to renew that former motion desiring that, if you value the king's interest, they may be restored, viz. Thomas Lowden, a wherryman, Richard Hopkins, a boatman at the Pill, and John Plumley, the officer at Uphill and Woodspring. They are men able to do more service to the King in this port than any 10 officers belonging to it, and if they continue turned out no men are more able to serve a merchant. I esteem the wherrymen and boatmen to have the greatest trust imposed on them of any officers in the port for if a merchant can but make in with them he can do anything. I propose they be restored and with two more may have their salaries advanced. I will not only engage for their faithfulness but give them instructions how to act. The persons I desire to be so advanced in salary are said Lowder and his partner, Nowell Parsley, wherryman (their present salary but 30l. per an. each, they well deserve 50l. each), the abovesaid Hopkins and one Thomas Playell, boatman at the Pill (their present salary 25l., I propose 40l.) and that Mr. Plumley's salary, if he be restored, be advanced from 15l. to 30l. No man can look to both places. Uphill and Woodspring, and live honestly under 30l. per an. and Plumley is worth 50l. per an. and was turned out on a false information. There have been two in since, poor men who would do anything for a little money. "What I here propose is altogether against my owne interest, for was I minded to goe on in the smugling trade I had better give them 50l. per an. each to assist me then to endeavour to get them into their places again upon this account for if they all continue out and will joyne with me, which I doubt not, I would not value all the other officers in the port." There are six boatmen at the Pill. I understand two of them are to be removed to Beachly. If so I desire that said Hopkins and Playell may be continued at the Pill, who shall be a sufficient check upon the other two. The men being poor, cannot wait long, but must settle one way or other to maintain their families.

The Treasury Lords to Prince Rupert. It appears by the report of Thomas Agar, one of the Surveyors of Woods, that John Topham has for eight years past been at charge about the Little Park at Windsor in repairing the gates and pales, cutting the mole hills, destroying the vermin, preserving the game, etc., and that 100l. is wanting to repair the gates and pales toward the river, and that the p[l]attform of boards in the top of the Round Tower in the Castle [at Windsor] is rotten (as Major Potts informed Mr. Agar). We have ordered said Agar to fell pollards in Windsor Forest, to raise money for these uses.

May 9. Henry Guy to the Attorney and Solicitor General, forwarding the following paper for report. Call to your assistance herein such of the King's Counsel as you think fit. Out Letters (General) VI, p. 247.
Appending: a paper unsigned and undated. By patent of 1611–2, Feb. 2. James I. incorporated the Company of Vintners, London, and inter al. therein granted to the freemen of said Company that they might always after, by themselves or servants, sell wine by retail or in gross to their best advantage in their houses or elsewhere, viz. within the city of London and the suburbs thereof and within three miles from the walls and gates thereof, and in the cities and port towns in England, and in all thoroughfare towns where posts were set or laid between Dover and London, and between Berwick and London where any of the said mystery should happen to dwell. And this has been adjudged a good dispensation. (Vaughan Reports 330 in the case of Thomas and Sorrell.). But the said Company have abused and forfeited their charter and therefore it may be seized by quo warranto or scire facias into the King's hands, and thereby this dispensation so prejudicial to the King's interest will fail [fall] with the patent and by consequence all the vintners in London and other places abovementioned must take licences, to the great increase of the revenue arising by wine licences.

By the charter party the Navy Board covenants that the King should pay the money upon producing ample testimony from Tangier, which is done. His ship, on returning to London, was unhappily cast away to a loss of 500l., and his men have arrested him for wages. Unless he be speedily paid his 150l. he cannot comply with his debts, but shall be cast in prison. Ibid, pp. 274–5.

Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the petition of Sir Marmaduke Dalton, bart., and Dame Barbara his wife, relict of Walter Strickland, ut supra, pp. 26–7, as by the order of reference of Jan. 14 last thereof from the King to said Treasury Lords. It appears from the certificate of the Agents for Taxes that petitioners have passed the accounts of said Strickland as Receiver of the Royal and Additional Aid for co. Yorks upon which they are in surplusage, 369l. 8s. 11d., and of the One Month's and Eleven Months' Assessments for co. Yorks, on which they are indebted 2,808l. 6s. 4½d. Out of this debt they crave allowance of 369l. 8s. 11d., surplusage, 210l. paid into the Exchequer 1672, May 25, by said Dame Barbara upon account of the Eleven Months' Assessment, 200l. allowed by the privy seal of 1671, June 20, for carrying 60,000l. of the said taxes from York to London (same being hitherto unallowed as appears by the certificate of Walter Wallinger, secondary in the office of the Clerk of the Pipe) and 2,100l. directed by the same privy seal to be paid to her as being for 1,800l. in full of all arrears to said Walter Strickland upon his pension of 200l. per an. (granted him by patent of 1661–2, Mar. 14) and 300l. for moneys returned by Mangy of York, who failed to pay same, and who on arrest was protected from same. The total of these allowances is 2,879l. 8s. 11d. Pursuant to the above said privy seal a money order was drawn 1671, Oct. 9, by Treasurer Clifford, No. 236, for 2,100l. Same stands registered on the fee farms to be paid in course out of the transferred fee farm orders of William Ashburnham, late Cofferer of the Household, and Sir Stephen Fox, but no payment thereon has been made at the Exchequer. Further all the orders that stand registered upon the register of the Eleven Months' tax are either paid or otherwise satisfied by several grants of a perpetual interest "whereby we humbly conceive that all arrears of the said Eleven Months' tax are in your Majesty's disposal." Petitioner's case is deserving of favour (her husband, Sir Marmaduke being dead since the presentation of this petition) by releasing to her 779l. 8s. 11d. (being the abovesaid items of 369l. 8s. 11d., 210l. and 200l.), and by directing the payment of said 2,100l. to her by a tally upon herself as administratrix to said Strickland, she reciprocally releasing to the King said items of 369l. 8s. 11d. surplus, and paying the remainder, being 18l. 17s. 5½d. and delivering up the patent for said pension of 200l. per an. to be cancelled and made void as said privy seal directs. Warrants not Relating to Money VIII, pp. 342, 344–5.
