Same to the Attorney or Solicitor General for a great
seal to contain a lease to John Williams of the
Lotteries : in the form of an indenture between
the King and Queen of the one part and John
Williams of Llangibby, co. Monmouth, of the other
part : as follows : By patent dated 1669, April 16,
Charles II did (with the consent of the Loyalist
Indigent officers and of Lawrence Du Puy and his
partners, who had then some interest in the Royal
Oak Lottery) grant to Sir Thomas Sandys, kt. and
bart., et al., a patent for holding one or more plate
lotteries for six years for the use of the said Loyal
officers ; and by a later patent of 1674, June 19,
did grant to the said Sandys et al. the sole use and
exercise of the said Royal Oak Lottery with full
licence to set forth, erect and publish the same in
any town or place in England, Wales or Berwick
for 13 years from the termination of the aforesaid
six years. The said 13 years' term expired 1688,
April 16. By an indenture of the third year of
his reign [supra, Calendar of Treasury Books, Vol.
VIII, pp. 1421-2] James II granted to Randolph
Ashenhurst, Stephen Hales, Michael Cope and
Thomas Ashenhurst the sole use and exercise of
the said Royal Oak Lottery and all other lotteries
whatsoever in the above places for three years and
166 days from 1688, April 16, which term will expire
at Michaelmas next. The present indenture witnesses
that in consideration of 5,000l. to be paid
into the Receipt by said John Williams before
Aug. 31 next without interest and by way of advance
of rent, the King grants to him and his heirs etc.
the sole use and exercise of the said Royal Oak
Lottery and of all other lotteries whatsoever that
are or shall be used or exercised in any the abovesaid
places (places of divine worship only excepted),
with full power to publish, use and exercise such
lottery and lotteries and for that purpose to erect,
use and have such bank houses and to perform all
such other matters as shall be necessary and to
enjoy all the rents, issues and profits thereof to his
own use for seven years from Michaelmas next
without any account to be thereof rendered to the
King. On his part the said Williams covenants to pay
a yearly rent of 5,000l. for same, the first quarterly
payment to be made at Christmas next subject to
defalcations in the last year as follows herein : and
further to pay 5,000l. advance money as above.
The King hereby grants him power to appoint
commissioners, deputies or other officers and to
have one common seal of office with their Majesties'
pictures and the inscription Sigillum Sortilegii to be
engraven thereon. All other persons are hereby
forbidden to set forth any lottery during the said
term. This grant to be determined if the rent be
unpaid 21 days after each quarter day. Williams
hereby covenants to keep true and fair accounts to
the best of his knowledge of all the moneys arising
by this grant and will permit same and all his actings
herein to be examined by persons appointed by
the King or the Treasury and will submit the
accounts of receipts and payments and all matters
relating to the management of said revenue to
such persons as above, "whereby their Majesties,
their heirs and successors may from time to time
have the better knowledge and information of the
premises." Williams is hereby authorised to deduct
and detain his 5,000l. advance money out of the
last two years of his rent, viz. by 625l. a quarter
from 1696, Christmas. "And whereas their
Majesties are at this time engaged in a war against
the French King and to suppress a great rebellion
in Ireland, by which war and rebellion the revenues
and profits arising by the said lotteries are or may
be much diminished," the said Williams hereby
covenants to demand no defalcations for the first
two years on the ground of the said war or rebellion :
and the King covenants that if the war continue
beyond Michaelmas, 1693, the lessee may deduct
500l. from his quarter's rent due at Michaelmas,
1694, if the war have continued for the whole third
year of this lease, or proportionably if for less
continuance of such war ; and similarly 1,000l. at
Michaelmas, 1695, or proportionably less for the
fourth year of this lease ; and similarly 1,000l. at
Michaelmas, 1696, or proportionably less for the
fifth year of this lease : and so similarly for the last
two years thereof 1,000l. (or proportionably less),
but for these two years same is to be defalced by
quarterly defalcations of 250l. If this grant become
void by any reason, the King covenants to repay
the 5,000l. advance money. If the profits of this
grant be lessened by plague, pestilence, fire, Act of
Parliament, or any other war or rebellion other
than the above war and rebellion already provided
for, the lessee shall have such further defalcations as
the Treasury shall think reasonable. Lastly, the
King covenants to renew this grant for a further
seven years' period if desired, if the rents and
covenants have been duly paid and performed. |

Same to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the
Barons of the Exchequer to dispose as follows the
789l. due from Herbert Jones. The said Jones, as
undersheriff of co. Monmouth for the years 1667,
1670, 1672-7, levied upon the inhabitants of said
county sums amounting in all to 789l. for not
repairing their highways, and upon discharging the
respective sheriffs for said county in the Exchequer
the said Jones produced certificates yearly under
the hands of two justices that they had received the
said moneys from him for repairing the highways
according to the Act of Parliament and thereupon
obtained discharges and debits upon the [under]
sheriffs' accounts, though in truth no part thereof
was paid ; which fraud being discovered, John
Arnold, upon the complaint of several inhabitants
of said county, prosecuted said Jones in the Exchequer
Court, and in Trinity term, 1689, it was
ordered that Jones should account for the several
sums charged in the several accounts of the said
undersheriffs respectively and it was referred to the
Deputy Remembrancer to take the said account,
who has made his report thereon and certified that
685l. was due from Jones over and above the 100l.
brought by him into the Exchequer. Thereupon
Jones was ordered to stand charged to the Crown
for said 685l. over and above said 100l. In the
prosecution hereof said Arnold has expended 170l.
which he prays may be repaid him and that the
balance of said 789l. may be paid over to trustees
for repairing the highways of said county. It is
hereby ordered that the 100l. deposited as above
be paid to Arnold as in part of his said expenses
and the remaining 70l. thereof to be paid out of
the next moneys which shall be paid in by said
Jones : and thereafter the balance of said 789l.,
after deduction of said 170l., is hereby to be paid
to Sir Trevor Williams, bart., John Arnold, James
Morgan, Charles Hughes, John Floye and Roger
Oates, to be by them employed in repairing the
highways of the said county. |

being in orders in the see of Rome and were severally
outlawed or attainted upon an indictment of high
treason, and the said rents for said life term were
declared forfeit to the Crown by decree of the
Exchequer Court in Michaelmas term, 1684 : but
that same have not hitherto been accounted for to
the Crown : wherefore said Meese prayed a grant
thereof : which the King is pleased to grant in
consideration of his faithful services. |
