Royal letter to the Earl of Bath, Lord Warden of the
Stannaries, to repair with all speed into Cornwall
and Devon "about the affairs of our Stannaries
as well as to despatch those other things relating
to our service within your Lieutenancy." At the
first meeting of the Convocation or Parliament of
Tinners you are to declare the King's satisfaction
at their speedy return and especially with their
unanimous and general consent in answer to the
royal letter of Nov. 29 last, supra, pp. 1631–2,
which the King hereby confirms again. But
because so great an undertaking requires a considerable sum of money to carry on so great a farm
and needs also serious consideration it is possible
the King may not be ready so soon as the next
coinage. But you may assure the tinners "that we
are positively resolved to proceed therein upon the
said price either by way of management by our
commission or otherwise by farmers with all possible
speed; wherein all due care shall be taken for the
just payments of the said tinners according to the
said agreed price. In the meantime you are to
finish those laws so long preparing for the good
of our Stannaries and to pass them into Acts with
our royal consent," reserving the King's power of
disapproval on presentation of same. (A duplicate
of this letter was signed placing the county of
Devonshire before that of Cornwall.) |

Sepulchre's, London, part of the estate of Sir Robert
Payton, kt., outlawed for treason: all on the said

Weston, gent., shewing that before the treason
the premises were assigned to Sir Robert Worsley,
whose executrix, Dame Mary Worsley, mortgaged
same to said Weston: but the Crown being advised
that the equity of redemption pertains to the Crown
by virtue of Payton's treason. |

at 500l. expence in the Commission which found that
the Forest or Chase of Arkingarthdale, co. Yorks, is a
concealment from the Crown and that the King
promised him a lease thereof, which the Treasury
Lords obstruct by ordering him first to recover
the premises by law, "which the petitioner conceives
to be contrary to the usual course of the Treasury";
therefore prays for a lease or to be heard by counsel
to show that it is the usual practice to grant upon
return of the inquisition. |
Reference Book V, p. 211. |
|
Same to Mr. Blathwayt [as Auditor of the Plantations]
of the following case. |
Ibid, p. 212. |
|
Prefixing: said case. The late King by letters to
the late Bermudas Company required a certificate
of the estate which the late regicides died seized of
in those lands [Bermudas], the said King's intention
being to give those lands to Henry Killegrew and
Mr. Dungen. The Company certified eight shares of
[land] late belonging to Cornelius Holland and Sir John
Danvers, whereupon Sir Geo. Waterman desired
Mr. Killegrew to let him have the refusal of said
land and gave him 80 broad pieces of gold, which
Killegrew gave bond to repay if he did not make
Sir George good assurance of said land. The said
Sir George was immediately put in possession and
enjoyed the said eight shares till his death without
any further assurance and by will gave them to
his daughters. The daughters pretend to sell the
said land to one Noden, a favourite member of the
said [Bermudas] Company, which being dissolved,
he attends the Treasury to procure a grant which
at last passed on to the great seal and Noden has
brought his action in Bermudas for the eight shares
and thirteen s[hares] more belonging to Owen Roe,
which suit is still depending. His Majesty being
thus deceived both in the title and quantity of
land the grant is void. When the late Bermudas
Company divided those islands among themselves
they set apart a fourth of the land for the maintenance of the government, which [fourth part] remained in their possession as a body politic until
they were dissolved on a trial at the Bar, and
[thereby said fourth part] is vested in the King. |

gent., for renewal (for the life of his son John) of

beyond the life of Mr. Fortrey (now dead), petitioner
having spent 886l. in repairing the premises. |
Ibid. |
| Feb. 3. |
Treasury reference to Mr. Ange of the petition of William
Roe, John Roe and Edward Miles of Norfolk, shewing
that the sheriff of Norfolk levied 413l. upon them
at several times for Recusancy, whereof 81l. 5s. 0d.
has been repaid to them by Treasury order; therefore praying the restoration of their goods detained
by the sheriff or the repayment of what levied money
has not been paid into the Exchequer. |

12l. per an. for printing the bills of mortality; 12l.
per an. for the tithe of the land in Phoenix Park. |
|
|

Royal letter to [Sir N. Johnson] the Governor of the
Leeward Islands to take care that the 100,000lbs.
of sugar which the inhabitants of the Island of
Nevis had presented to Sir James Russell, kt. (who
having been several years Deputy and Governor
of said island was also appointed Chief Commander
in all the Leeward Islands during the absence of
Sir William Stapleton, [now] deceased, and until
the arrival of you the present Governor) be secured
in the hands of the Treasurer or other officer of the
revenue in Nevis and be employed towards the
payment of the Foot Companies in St. Christopher;
it appearing that the said sugar has not been appropriated to any other use pursuant to the instructions
of Charles II to Sir William Stapleton, late Governor
in Chief of the Leeward Islands. The present
warrant is by reason that Penelope Russell, relict
of said Sir William, has petitioned the King desiring
a confirmation of the grant of said sugar, but the
King has not thought fit to grant said petition in
view of the misbehaviour of said Sir William in the
government of said islands. |

Royal warrant to the Clerk of the Signet for a privy
seal for an allowance as follows to Sir John Bucknall
on his account of the farm of the French duty. By
a great seal dated 1667, Dec. 7, Charles II demised
to Sir William Bucknall and to Robert Huntingdon,
esq. (both since deceased), the duty of 5s. per ton
of French shipping lading or unlading goods or
passengers in England or Ireland, said farm being
for four years from 1667, Oct. 20, at 1,800l. per an.
rent. The said duty is still in force. Sir John
Bucknall, kt., son of said Sir William, is now upon
his account of the said farm and of a subsequent lease
granted by Charles II to said Sir William of said duty
in England only at 1,200l. per an. rent. He has represented that on the first farm neither said Sir William
Bucknall nor said Huntingdon could receive any
part of the said duty in Ireland by reason of a
prior grant thereof, dated Dublin, 1662, Oct. 27,
under the great seal of Ireland to Sir George Carteret
and Daniel Oneil for 21 years from 1660, Oct. 20.
Sir John Bucknall has therefore prayed an abatement

reserved in the abovesaid lease of 1667, Dec. 7,
viz. for the four years thereof; and has further
exhibited an English bill in the Exchequer to be
relieved in the premises. The said allowance is
hereby ordered to be made as reasonable and the
rents charged on the said two leases are hereby
to be charged in one [and the same] account. In
consideration hereof Sir John Bucknall is not to
ask or have any allowance in said account in respect
of interest of moneys advanced on either the said
leases. |

Appending: said memorial. By patent dated 1682–3,
Jan. 28, Charles II did, upon the forfeiture of the
Duke of Monmouth, grant the house in Soho (there
begun to be erected by him) to Sir Stephen Fox
and Nicholas Fenn in trust for the Duchess of
Monmouth until she should be paid 1,200l., and
thereafter in trust for other persons as therein.
The term in being in said house is only 46 years
from 1687, June 24. The Duchess has no possibility
of coming into her 1,200l. without buying the
interests of the other persons concerned. She
therefore prays that (in regard she must so buy
the house) she may have a grant of the [Crown's
reversion or] inheritance of same. |

their Lordships have ordered me to return to you

tobacco planted thereabouts." Give orders for
