having by his letter of Sept. 14 last from Boston,
New England, represented to Treasurer Rochester
that the people in that country will not suffer any
of the King's commanders to make seizures of ships

interest thereon from 1682, Michaelmas: "all the
messuages, lands and tenements of the said Thomas
Price seized by the said extent and being made over
and mortgaged to divers persons were not immediately liable to satisfy the said debt": by indenture
dated Oct. 26 last, made by direction of Treasurer
Rochester, Price assigned to Richard Graham and
Philip Burton the 90l. per an. payable out of the
Exchequer but not seized by the King; further, the
said Price is also indebted by several bonds to John
Angyer, carpenter, for payment of 1,400l., principal

said Price's affairs very uneasy to him, Price did
on the 8th inst. agree within 20 days to assign to
him said 90l. per an. from Christmas next, in return
for which Angyer agreed to deliver up said bonds;
therefore Price desires that said Graham and Burton
may join with him in assigning said 90l. per an. in
return for said 1,400l. bonds and inasmuch as the
rest of the said Price's estate seized as above will
be sufficient to satisfy the debt to the King. |

patent the King allowed said patentees 8,000l. per an.
out of the first profits that should arise [therefrom]
in consideration of their great charges and trouble:
that of the said patentees only George Howard now
survives: that many years of the patent are run out
and they have not yet made any advantage to themselves or the Crown nor paid their 10l. per an. rent
to the King: that now A.B. etc. have found out a
way by which they do not doubt to regain the said

General of Crown Lands, of the petition of Lieut. Col.

Attorney General's report thereon as follows. |
Ibid, pp. 7–8. |
|
Prefixing: the said report from Sir R. Sawyer, Attorney
General, dated Oct. 9 last. I am of opinion that the
Forest of Arthengerthdale [Arkengarthdale], except
some parcels particularly mentioned therein, did
not pass to the City of London, but, upon construction of all the parts of that grant, was reserved
to the Crown; and though in strictness of law upon
the statute of 17 Car. I the first [sic for forest] is to be
deafforested as to the exercise of the Forest Laws
there, yet the soil, timber and deer are the King's,
saving right of common to the tenants there; and
by an express clause in the grant if the King pleases
to deafforest he may improve, making reasonable
allotments of part to the commoners for their
common. 'Tis probable the assignees of the City have
greatly encroached upon the rights of the Crown,
which has received no benefit from it since the grant.
If the petitioner assert the King's right at his own
charge he may well deserve a term therein. |
|
|

brought in: therefore praying that she may have
leave to bring into England 300 pieces of black

the said Charlton took advantage thereof and combining with the executors of Bate did surreptitiously
get into possession of petitioner's coalworks and
has ever since received the profits thereof, refusing
to render an account thereof to petitioner. Petitioner has been always loyal and is able to discover
a great part of said Charlton's estate. Therefore
prays a grant of the coalworks belonging to said
Charlton. |

Report by Treasurer Rochester to the King on the petition
of Francis Gorman, late Ayde Major of Tangier; petitioner shewing that he served in the King's Regiment
both in France and Tangiers, first as a cadet for three
years and afterwards as an ensign under Sir Edward
Scot that the remainder of his time was spent in
Tangier about 20 years, and that 237l. 8s. 9d.
became there due to him in the time of the Earl of
Middleton's Government, etc., ut supra, p. 952;
that he lost his employment for being a Roman
Catholic; therefore praying some pension or employment. |
Warrants not Relating to Money XI, pp. 429–30. |
|
I referred said petition to Mr. Hewer ut supra ibid,
who reports that he did previously report, 1684
Dec., on petitioner's case, and therein had proposed
10l. to petitioner for present relief and 25l. per an.
pension in satisfaction of said arrears, but the then
Treasury Lords thought the proposal too much,
and ordered him 10l. for relief and 15l. per an.
pension in consideration of [a surrender of] his
pretensions [to said arrears], but Charles II dying
before same was settled, the present King ordered
him 50l. in full of all his pretensions, which Hewer
accordingly paid him pursuant to my warrant of
1685, Nov. 24, supra, p. 443. "And this is a true
state of the petitioner's case in relation to Mr. Hewer,
who is of opinion that the petitioner's poverty and
being out of employment was the occasion of his
reflecting on him in the forementioned petition, and
that the same was not done out of any ill will
towards him, having never given him any just
occasion." |
