Royal letter, dated Windsor Castle, to the Governor
of the Leeward Isles. For the better managing
and collecting the Four and a Half per cent. duty
in Nevis, St. Christopher, Antigua and Montserrat
the Customs Commissioners have provided a
sufficient number of beams, scales and weights to
be sent over and erected in the most usual places
of shipping and landing of goods, with instructions
to the officers in said islands to cause all goods to
be duly weighed in order to the receiving the duties
thereon "and not to take the same by compute
as hath been heretofore practised." You are to
recommend this matter to the principal traders
and planters within your government as a thing
very much for the King's service, so as to obtain
a ready compliance thereto by bringing their goods
to the scales with as little trouble as possible. For
their accommodation proper officers shall be appointed
to said scales. |

Royal warrant to Treasurer Rochester to give warrant
to the Clerk of the Pipe for a lease under the Exchequer seal to Isaac Marriott, gent., of the houses,
lands and tenements as follow, with all buildings
thereon situate in Surrey, Kent, Bucks, Middlesex,
Berks, Sussex, Oxford, Somerset, Norfolk and
Beds., being rights and hereditaments "as we are
informed" of right belonging to the Crown, but
concealed and unjustly withheld therefrom: to
hold to him, said Marriott, his executors and assigns
for 61 years from Lady day last at the rent of a
moiety of the improved rents and value thereof
besides 5l. per an. out of every 100l. which shall
be yearly made of the other moiety thereof: the
said improved rents to be ascertained from time
to time by the Surveyor General of Crown Lands.
The patent is also to contain a grant to said Marriott
of all arrears of rents and profits due to the Crown
for the premises, whereof a moiety is to be paid
to the King at the Exchequer whenever recovered.
The said lease to be in consideration of the great
costs and charges Marriott has been at in discovering
and recovering said premises to the Crown and
defending the King's title thereto. |

Together with: (a) report dated July 28 last from
John Fisher, Deputy Surveyor General of Crown
Lands, to Treasurer Rochester, touching the discoveries made by Mr. Aylesbury and Mr. Marriott
as by the reference of July 16 supra, p. 839. I
have considered said discoveries and also the
certificates and opinions of certain Commissioners
who did June 25 last propose a grant to said Aylesbury and Marriott. I conceive all real discoveries
ought to be encouraged for his Majesty's service,
In Mr. Aylesburye's petition I see only two and
those not found by inquisition, viz. one of a tenement
called Weeke House in Hackney, valued by the
Commissioners at 250l. per an. and alleged to be
the estate in fee of Benedict Haynes, whose issue
is said to be extinct by the death of Eliz. Waldo,
the last of his line, in 1682. If this be true the
discovery may be good and grantable. But it is
the usual practice in such cases to have the title
found by inquisition before any grant pass, as
thereby any pretended claims and imcumbrances
may be considered. The other item is three coppices
in Lillingstone Dayrell, co. Bucks. This I take to
be no discovery, but are well enough known to be
within and part of Whittlewood Forest, and though
it may be true that a lease thereof was granted by
Queen Elizabeth, which is now expired, and that
Urlin bought them in the former [late] rebellious
times and cut down most of the timber, yet it is
certain that the whole forest, including these three
coppices, is together with Salcey Forest passed to
the Queen Dowager as part of her dowry and rated
to her at 200l. per an. and to be preserved for the
growth of wood and not to be leased "and this
I take to be the reason that the Lady Phil. Mohun
did not obtain a grant thereof upon her petition
for them in 1664." |
|
|
As to the parcels mentioned in the said Commissioners' certificate on behalf of Mr. Marriott,
which extend into the abovesaid counties, but are
not particularised nor found by inquisition a grant
in general terms will not be according to the usual
practice. Every particular is first to be ascertained
so that it may be known what is granted. A certain
time of five or seven years at the most ought to be
limited for the lessee to recover [same to the Crown]
at his own cost and what is not so recovered to be
void: and no recovered item to be let at below
the full yearly value and no fine or composition
to be taken from any pretended owner to the
prejudice of the Crown. All attornments to be
forthwith certified by the lessee to the auditor of
the county upon oath with the full yearly value
so that same may be put in charge. The lessee
not to assign any part of the premises but by special
licence of the Lord Treasurer. As it is impossible
to guess the yearly value of the premises, the usual
covenant for delivering schedules and rentals is to
be carefully observed. (b) Statement of opinion by
Sir Robert Sawyer, Attorney General, dated Aug. 7
inst., on this report from the Deputy Surveyor
General. I conceive the King may lease or grant
the lands in question without an office found,
though in such cases it has been usual to find offices
for the better instruction of the King's officers.") |
