The Treasury Lords to the King. In accordance
with your commands left with us at your going
hence we have treated with Sir Joseph Herne for
the constant return [forwarding by bill of exchange]
of the weekly subsistence for the [English] Forces
in Flanders and the monthly payment of 3,600l.
for the Wolfenbuttel Troops [Herne furnishing
bills] upon credit of tallies. We have received
from him a proposal by which he undertakes to
return the money for the Forces in Flanders and
to pay them the same value of the money by which
they have hitherto been paid there and to give
credit for 3,600l. per month for four months for the
Wolfenbuttel Troops without demanding anything
for commission money and himself to be at all
charge and hazard, "upon which we have come to
an agreement with the said Sir Joseph unless your
Majesty shall think fit to send us any directions to
the contrary."
We desire your Majesty to signify your pleasure
to Monsieur Schulenberg to forthwith prepare and
transmit to us an account of all the bills he has
drawn on the Earl of Ranelagh for the pay of any
of your Majesty's Forces in Flanders from 1689-90,
April 26, to the 1st inst. old style, according to
our letter to said Schulenberg by this post ; and
particularly to note in his said account the sums
he has stopped or received on each bill for exchange
losses or charges and how he has disposed of the
money.
Also we desire an establishment or a copy of
the establishment of the Wolfenbuttel Troops. We
have lately countersigned an establishment of
double pay to the [? officers of the] First and Second
Regiments of Guards, the grounds whereof, we
are informed, are that the Dutch Guards have the
same and have no servants allowed them. We
humbly offer it to your Majesty's consideration
whether in regard of this increase of their pay it
be not reasonable that the officers should not have
any servants allowed them likewise in their musters
for the future. |

The Treasury Lords to the Lords Justices, Ireland,
concerning Mr. Knox, who obtained the King's

in Wexford port, which office it appears [from your
letter] was before granted to one of his [Mr.

for said place upon the death of the late patentee
before his Majesty's going into Ireland : "and
although the disposition of places of this nature
may be in the Chief Governors of that kingdom,
yet considering the merits of this gentleman and
his relations, particularly of his father, who (as we
hear) was chiefly instrumental in the seizing of
the town of Wexford for their Majesties' service,
we earnestly desire your Excellencies to take him
into your particular care ; and seeing he is not to
have the said office of searcher, packer and gauger,
that your Excellencies will bestow some employment
upon him in Ireland equivalent thereunto." |

Treasury warrant to the Customs Commissioners to
demand no more duties from the merchants as
follows, inhabitants of New York, for their goods
imported here than if they were natives of New
York : it appearing that Gerrard Vanheythuijsen
has petitioned the Treasury on behalf of himself
and others, merchants, inhabitants of New York,
setting forth that the said colony with the inhabitants
thereof hath been under the government of England
since 1664, ever looking upon themselves as free
subjects of England ; that they were left without
a Governor the latter end of the late King James's
reign, whereby they were exposed to the incursions
and attempts of the French ; nevertheless according
to their duty and allegiance the said inhabitants
remained steadfast to the government of this
kingdom, fixing (under God) their sole dependence
thereupon ; and as soon as they had notice of the
accession of William and Mary they did readily declare
for them ; and have for these two years maintained
and defended themselves against all the attempts of
the French : notwithstanding which, some officers
of the Customs have demanded strangers' duties
for the goods of the said [petitioners] inhabitants
on pretence that they are not natives of New York :
wherefore they pray, for their encouragement, that
their goods may pass free of aliens' duties : and
the said petition being referred by the Treasury
Lords to the Customs Commissioners, the latter
reported on April 9 last that the Collector Inwards
of London port doth insist upon the aliens' duties
for the goods imported on account of certain merchants,
inhabitants of New York, because they
are either natives of Holland and not naturalized
by any Act of Parliament or not born within the
said colony since the same hath been in the possession
of any of their Majesties' predecessors : but forasmuch
as they are become their Majesties' subjects,
carrying on considerable trades for the benefit of
their Majesties' Plantations, and are equally concerned
in the defence and preservation of the said
colony (against the French or other enemies) with
any of their Majesties' other subjects there, the
said Commissioners are of opinion they should have
the like privilege in point of duties with their
Majesties' natural born subjects and should pay
no other or greater duties for their goods imported
hither than if they were natives of New York. The
Treasury Lords agree with the said report and
hereby order as above. |

Treasury warrant to the Customs Commissioners to deliver
a suit of tapestry hangings to the Earl of Devonshire
on payment of only single duty ; the same being
lately brought from Flanders : the Customs Commissioners
having reported the 15th inst. that although
the rate of the Customs is generally 5 per cent., that
is 12d. upon the £ value, yet in divers instances it falls
out far otherwise and the duty is oftentimes laid
upon certain commodities in the nature of a prohibition
to encourage the manufacture of the like
in this kingdom, and so it happens upon stuffs
made of or mixed with wool, which are rated to
pay 15d. a yard, although such stuffs are not of
half the value of the duty ; and in this present case
they are informed that the parcel of tapestry is not
worth above 40s. the ell and that the mixture of
gold and silver in them is not above one-third part
of the value, yet they are rated in the Book of
Rates at 8d. the ell, which duty the Customs officers
cannot exercise a discretion to alter or abate, but
that the Treasury Lords have sometimes in particular
cases for private use moderated the duty. |
