Henry Guy to the Attorney General to report on the following queries relating to money growing due for Customs and Excise of goods imported into Ireland upon the determination of the [Irish Revenue] farm, Dec. 25 last. [Herein you are to consult] the contract of that farm, which is in the hands of the Solicitor General and the Acts of Parliament which were made in Ireland for the said duties. |
Out Letters (General) VII, p. 85. |
|
Appending: said queries. (1) Whether a ship coming to anchor in any port of this kingdom before Dec. 25 inst. [last] and not breaking bulk nor entering till after that date, the customs thereon be due to the King or the Farmers. |
|
|
(2) Whether the master of a ship having entered and broken bulk before Dec. 25, but some of the goods have not entered and paid Customs till after Dec. 25, the customs on these latter be due to the King or the Farmers. |
|
|
(3) Whether the imported Excise by a merchant (not being a retailer) imported on or before Dec. 25 and found in his hands unsold after that date be due to the King or the Farmers. |

The Treasury Lords to the Justices of the Peace in co. Devon. The King has referred to us a petition of the Hearthmoney Farmers, in which they complain that some of you raise a scruple whether distresses may be made for newly discovered hearths till they be actually certified into the Exchequer. We have advised with the King's Counsel in that point etc. ut supra, p. 583. We hope the officers will meet with no further obstruction in your county on this account. (The like letter to the Justices of Peace in co. Somerset.) |
Out Letters (General) VII, p. 85. |

Henry Guy to Mr. Duncombe to attend the Treasury Lords on Monday and to pay 7,000l. of the 8,000l. Excise money this week to the Forces. |
Ibid, p. 86. |

Same to the Customs Commissioners to report on the following papers concerning 6d. a load [Customs duty] demanded for coals carried from England to Scotland. In regard the exacting such duty may occasion disturbance you are to take such order with the writers of (b) infra that the peace be kept and no force used in levying the duty at present because it is under consideration whether it shall be paid or no. |
Ibid, pp. 86–7. |
|
Appending: (a) Representation to the Lord Chancellor [of Scotland] from the Scotch noblemen and gentlemen of Berwick, Roxburgh and others lying on the borders of England, shewing that the inhabitants of the Sands stayres have been furnished with coal out of the north parts of England free of any Custom whatsoever these many generations past all memory of men; notwithstanding about 15 or 16 years since the Customs collectors most illegally pretended to exact 6d. on each load of coals carried from England to Scotland upon pretence of an Act of Parliament of Queen Elizabeth which imposed a duty on coal exported in bottoms and appointed that all goods exported between Berwick and Carlisle should pay the accustomed duties as by the Book of Rates: whereas by the said Book of Rates there is no duty on coal except exported by sea in ships. Several tumults were like to rise hereabout between the said customers and the country people, but upon application then made to the Earl of Carlisle, Lieutenant of the North for the time, there was no more heard thereof till of late within these few months the present collectors pretend to exact the same, which is illegal and contrary to the immunity and freedom therefrom prescriptively established by the inhabitants of the Scotch borders, and is also most gross and exorbitant, being 6d. upon every load, whereas the load itself is bought for 2½d., and may breed an interference and discord betwixt the subjects of the two nations, whereupon tumults and broils may arise. Therefore pray that this petition may be transmitted to the Secretary of State for the kingdom of Scotland to be communicated to the King. |

(b) Letter to the Duke of Newcastle from William Strother and William Ogle, dated Fowbery, 1682, Dec. 20. I have received your letters of the 12th and 5th inst., and delivered the latter to Sir Ralph Delavall that night. As to the Customs, I spoke with Capt. Kirkby, Surveyor General of Customs at
Berwick, who showed us a letter from the Customs Commissioners requiring our assistance and that they would speedily send us the King's order with their instructions. Not being versed in this affair of the Customs, we desired Capt. Kirkby to write to the Treasury Lords. We expect their instructions by every post, and as soon as that comes we doubt not we shall force them to their duty in paying their duty. When we go about it you shall constantly hear from us how that affair goes forward. |

Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the petition of Maurice Eustace and Michaell Tempest, his guardian, on the reports thereon as below. We think it not advisable to stop the information against the petitioners in the Exchequer, but that the matter be left to the determination of the Courts concerned. |
Out Letters (Ireland) III, pp. 57–9. |
|
Prefixing: (a) said petition shewing that Sir Maurice Eustace, kt., did by many undue ways out petitioner from the manor of Portlester, co. Meath, Ireland, left him by the late Chancellor Eustace. For the protection of his title petitioner has secured it under the Duke of York's patent of reprizal, whereupon Sir Maurice has brought a suit for the rent and profits. Pray a noli prosequi to said suit. (b) Order of reference dated Whitehall, 1680–1, Jan. 29, from the King to the Duke of Ormonde of said petition. (c) Petition of said Maurice Eustace and Michael Tempest to the Duke of Ormonde. (d) Reference dated Dublin Castle, 1681, June 22, from said Duke to the Attorney and Solicitor General [Ireland] of said first petition. (e) Report dated 1681, Aug. 16, from Sir William Domvile [Attorney General] and Sir Jo. Temple [Solicitor General] to the Duke thereon. By decree of the Commissioners for the Act of Settlement George FitzGerrald was in 1663 restored to the lands of Portlester to him and his heirs male. By deed of 1664. June 7, he conveyed same to Sir Maurice Eustace, kt., late Lord Chancellor, for 2,600l., who also for 1,400l. purchased a lease then in being of said lands, which did not expire till 1675. Fitz-Gerrald died in 1668 without heirs male, and the Crown became entitled to the reversion after said lease. By patent of 1678, April 3, same have been granted to the Duke of York, under whom petitioners enjoy same as tenants. The suit is for the mesne
profits between the Crown's restoration and the Duke of York's grant. Petitioner's case deserves favour, seeing he has lost the inheritance and the benefit of said 2,600l. and 1,400l. (f) Report dated 1681, Sept. 10, from the Duke of Ormonde to the King hereon. I agree with the report of the Attorney and Solicitor General as above. (g) Order of reference dated Whitehall, 1681, Nov. 21, of said Lord Lieutenant's report from the King to the Treasury Lords. |

Prefixing: particular of the premises dated Aug. 1 by Deputy Auditor Tho. [Raban] and ratal thereof by Jno. Fisher, in the absence of the Surveyor General of Crown Lands. The weir and fishing were let 1636, June 22, to William Ward and Gerard Wright, alias Herbert, for 31 years, and the weir is now for divers years in decay for want of timber to repair it, which the former tenants usually had out of the adjoining forest of Gilgarran; but that being all destroyed in the late wars no timber is near to be had but at great rates. The said fines and issues etc. were demised to George Barlow by patent dated 1660, Dec. 12, for 21 years. |
