by my Lords to Herne and Evance to advance a

for 3,600l. at Antwerp for Wolfenbuttel Troops.
Thereupon the Earl of Ranelagh is to deliver and

Royal warrant, under the Queen's sign manual, to
the Earl of Ranelagh [Paymaster of the Forces]
to prepare debentures for [the Queen's] signature
for the pay of the Royal Regiment of Fuzileers
and the Regiment of Foot commanded by Col.
Edward Fitzpatrick for the months of May and
June, 1690, according to the muster rolls taken of
them in April, 1690 : and similarly debentures
for the pay of said Regiments for the months of
September, October, November and December
following, according to the muster rolls of July
and August, 1690 ; deducting thereout such sums as
they have received upon account in Ireland. But
as the Earl of Marlborough has represented to the
Queen that Lieut. St. Clair was reputed in Capt.
Hartt's Company in the Royal Regiment of Fuzileers
for the months of July and August, 1690, notwithstanding
he had licence from the said Earl to be
absent for those months, his pay from 1690, July 1
to Dec. 31, is to be included in the pay of the said
Regiment. |
King's Warrant Book XV,

|
Same to same for debentures similarly for the pay
of the Royal Regiment of Horse and the Regiments
of Foot commanded by Col. Cha. Trelawney and
Col. Jo. Foulkes for May, 1690, according to the
musters thereof taken in April preceding. And as
the First and Third Troops of Guards and Grenadiers
were put on the Establishment of Ireland from
June 1 last [1690], but we have since thought it
necessary that they should return to England and
be cleared and paid in England "from that time,"
debentures are therefore to be made out for their
pay from 1690, June 1 to Dec. 31, according to the
musters taken of them in May, 1690, deducting
such sums as they have received in Ireland on
account or such as they owe for quarters there,
which is to be certified by the officer commanding. |

[part thereof] was paid without deduction of
poundage, the said Earl is hereby not to be charged
with the deduction of 12d. per £ for any of the sums
so paid by him.
Appending : a particular of several sums paid by
said Earl, part whereof was issued by command of
the late King before his abdication, and other part

carry stores from the Navy to Plymouth), to proceed

Treasury warrant to the Surveyor General [of Crown
Lands] for a particular of a piece of ground in
St. James's Park where formerly the Laundry
was, being 200 feet north to south and 135 feet
east to west ; and of another piece of ground as
below : in order to extension of lease thereof to
99 years to Robert, Lord Lexinton, at the present
rentals, with covenant not to erect new buildings
without leave and with a clause of re-assumption
on payment of compensation.
Prefixing : William Harbord's report, dated May 4
last, on said Lord's petition for same. James II
granted by lease under the Exchequer seal 1685,
Dec. 6, said ground to Sir Theophilus Oglethorpe
and Dame Hellen, his wife, for 35 years, on which
said Lady Oglethorpe had then built a pair of
brick tenements at a value of about 1,000l., but
with covenant to erect no further buildings thereon
without licence, and with a clause for re-assumption
to the Crown on payment of 2,000l. The other
piece of ground, 135 feet by 114, adjoins the abovesaid
piece towards the King's Road through the
said park towards Kensington, and was granted
by similar lease 1689-90, Jan. 18, to Henry, Lord
Grey of Ruthyn, now Visct. [de] Longueville, for 31
years, at 6s. 8d. per an. rent, with covenant to
wall it in with a brick wall, which is since done,
and not to erect any buildings thereon from which
any person might look into the said park, and with
a clause of re-assumption to the Crown on payment
of compensation. Both these interests are now
alleged to be vested in Lord Lexinton. I cannot
advise a term of more than 31 years and cannot
set any fine on the additional term so long as the
clause of re-assumption on payment of 2,000l. is
continued, "and if that clause should be left out
and the lessee only restrayned from erecting any
further buildings thereon yet then I think 400l.
would be a sufficient consideration, for I look upon
2,400l. being 16 years' purchase to be as much as
the inheritance is worth." |
