Same to the Attorney or Solicitor General for a great
seal to contain an indenture between the King and
Queen of the one part and Isaac Pereira of the
parish of St. James's, Westminster, of the other
part, containing the said Pereira's contract for the
supply of bread for the use of the Army in Ireland
for one year from Oct. 10 last ; and also for horses
and waggons as follows. The present indenture,
after reciting the terms of the existing contract
("now passed or ready to be passed under the
great seal"), ut supra, p. 1095, proceeds as follows :
The said contract for 66,000 lbs. of bread daily
was calculated for provision of 44,000 men for
365 days "in case so many had been employed
in their Majesties' service in Ireland for so long
time," but in truth the bread supplied has not
amounted to so much because a lesser number of
soldiers hath been employed. Pereira has therefore
re-assigned to Charles Fox for their Majesties' use
40,000l. of the 125,468l. 15s. 0d. in registered orders
on the Excise, ut supra, ibid., together with the
interest thereon. In consideration thereof the
King covenants that Pereyra shall be discharged of
40,000l. on his account ; and Charles Fox and
Thomas Coningsby, Paymasters of the Forces in
Ireland, are hereby to be surcharged with the said
40,000l. as received for their Majesties' use for the
Forces in Ireland and the contingencies thereof.
And whereas Pereyra did lately undertake to buy
500 horses in England and to transport same to
Ireland to be employed there, with 330 other horses
which their Majesties had remaining in Ireland, for
the draught of bread waggons ; and has so bought
same, for which the King agreed to pay him 6,500l.
and to defray the charges thereof till their being
shipped for Ireland, and part thereof has been
already paid : and further Pereyra has undertaken
to provide magazines of oats in Ireland sufficient
for the said 830 horses until Sept. 15 next at a rate
which (besides the forage) shall not exceed 6d. a
day for the keeping of each horse ; and to furnish
26,560 horse shoes for them at 5d. each (being 32
shoes per horse for four months), amounting to
553l. 6s. 8d., and to make a provision of grease for
each waggon, viz. 2 lbs. of grease per waggon, for
every four days for 140 waggons for the sum of
106l. 15s. 0d. ; and to furnish drugs and instruments
and all other extraordinaries for the said horses
and waggons for the sum of 592l. 17s. 0d. ; and to
provide and maintain until Sept. 15 next as officers
and servants for same 280 waggoners or carters
at 2s. 6d. a day per couple for 122 days ; payment
of the train at 10s. a day ; two lieutenants at 10s.
a day each ; 14 conductors at 5s. a day each ;
14 farriers at 2s. a day each ; eight waggon masters
(sic for waggon makers or wheelwrights) at 2s. 6d.
a day each ; four harness makers at 2s. 6d. day
each ; and to furnish the said artificers and waggoners
or servants with coats, caps and bread and each
waggoner with 40s. in money when he shall have
performed his service : in consideration of the
above their Majesties have agreed that Pereyra
shall be paid 7,487l. 4s. 4d., which with the abovesaid
6,500l. makes 13,987l. 4s. 4d. : the King therefore
hereby covenants that the balance of this total
remaining unpaid to him at the time of sealing this
indenture shall be paid to him by 1,000l. a week
from date hereof by the Paymasters of the Forces
in Ireland : and on his part Pereyra covenants to
maintain and keep the said 830 horses with sufficient
oats daily until Sept. 15 next and to provide magazines
in such convenient places in Ireland as the
King or the Commander in Chief of the Forces
there shall appoint and to deliver what shall remain
on hand of the said provision on Sept. 15 next to
such persons as the King or the said Commander
in Chief shall appoint : and Pereira covenants
further to provide the said horse shoes, grease,
drugs etc. and officers and servants as above and
will within six months render an account upon
oath of the said sum of 13,987l. 4s. 4d. wherein he
is hereby to be allowed the abovesaid rates or items
of allowance ; provided that if it shall appear that
the charge of keeping the said horses shall come
forth at less than 6d. a day each or if any money
be reasonably saved by Pereyra on the abovesaid
rates or items the said saving shall accrue to their
Majesties and Pereyra shall be allowed so much
less in his said account. It is further hereby
covenanted that if on Sept. 15 next a third part
of the said 830 horses shall be spoiled or lost (not
being taken by the enemy) Pereyra shall pay to
the King 3l. for each horse over and above the said
third ; and if on the said 15th Sept. he delivers up
more than two thirds of the said 830 horses in a
[fit] condition of service then the King will allow
him 3l. for each horse above the said two thirds :
and if the abovesaid horses, waggons and men be,
by warrant of the said Commander in Chief, retained
under Pereyra's management after Sept. 15 next
he shall maintain and keep same for a time not
exceeding 25 days and shall be allowed the charge
thereof upon his accounts. Finally Pereyra
covenants that he will be answerable for the
remainder of the principal sum of 125,468l. 15s. 0d.
after allowance of the abovesaid 40,000l. as if this
present great seal were not made. |

The Treasury Lords to the Navy Commissioners.
The Act for the Additional Excise appropriated
700,000l. to Navy pay and for building three thirdrates
and for naval services of the Ordnance Office.
The sum of 70,000l., part of said 700,000l., was
issued Mar. 19 last to Charles Bertie, out of loans
on said Act, being for saltpetre and other services
of the Ordnance. Several sums, amounting to
630,000l., being the balance of said 700,000l., are
issued or directed to be issued to the Treasurer of
the Navy out of the like loans for which he has or
speedily will have tallies and orders registered on
said Act. We desire that the said 630,000l. may
be applied as follows, viz. : (1) 210,077l. 8s. 0d. of
the orders and tallies standing first in course are to
be reserved for payment of seamen serving in 1691
in the Navy Royal : (2) 147,422l. 14s. 11d. for the

alternatively to the victualling and to the wear
and tear for eight payments (to wit four each)
and thereafter 27,422l. 14s. 11d. to the victualling
and 152,499l. 17s. 1d. to wear and tear, making

Out Letters (Ireland) VI,
pp. 77-8. |
Appending : (a) petition to the Queen from Archibald
Hamilton on behalf of himself and other the ministers
of the Presbyterian persuasion in the northern
parts of Ireland : setting forth that by royal sign
manual of 1690, June 19, the King granted to the
said ministers 1,200l. per an., payable quarterly
out of the Customs of the port of Belfast, the first
payment thereof to be made on 24 June, 1690 :
that the said ministers accordingly received 600l.
for the two quarters to 1690, Christmas, but the
said bounty of 1,200l. per an. being not included in
or provided for by any establishment of Irish
expense, the Revenue Commissioners, Ireland, and
the collector of Belfast port refuse to pay the arrears
due and to continue same in future without some
such establishment : therefore praying that an
additional establishment be made for said 1,200l.
per an. with the arrears thereon. |
(b) The abovesaid royal sign manual "at our Court
at Hilsborough," 1690, June 19, directing Christopher
Carleton, collector of Belfast port, to pay said 1,200l.
per an. from 1690, June 24, quarterly to Mr. Patrick
Adair, Alex. Hutcheson, Archibald Hamilton,
Robert Craighead, Hugh Wilson, Robert Henerie
and William Adair, to be by them distributed
among the rest of the Presbyterian ministers in the
northern parts of Ireland : all by reason that
"upon our arrival in this kingdom at Belfast we
received a loyal and dutiful address from our trusty
and well beloved subjects, Patrick Adair, Archibald
Hamilton, William Adair and others in the names
of themselves and the rest of the Presbyterian
ministers of their persuasion in these northern
parts of our kingdom, and calling to mind how
early they also were in their address unto us upon
our arrival in England, and the promise we then
made of a pension of 800l. per an. for their subsistence,
which by reason of several impediments hath
not as yet been made effectual unto them ; and
being assured of the peaceable and dutiful temper
of our said subjects, and sensible of the loss they
have sustained and their constant labour to unite
the hearts of others in zeal and loyalty towards
us" etc. |

to William Jephson, now deceased, for secret service,

This sum is to be in full of 200l. directed by Order
in Council of April 27 last to be paid by said Jephson
to said Col. George Phillips as royal bounty to
enable him and his family to transport themselves
into Ireland. (Followed by : Treasury order to the

Same to the Auditors of Imprests to allow to the Earl

being for the Duke of Savoy for three months for
the months of October, November and December
last at 5,000l. a month pursuant to a treaty signed
"on our behalf" at the Hague 1690, Oct. 20 :
the said Herne being empowered to receive the
said allowance of 5,000l. a month by virtue of a
procuration made to him by the President de la
Tour, Envoy Extraordinary from the said Duke,
dated 17-27 Feb. last. |
Ibid, p. 404. |
Same to same to allow to said Ranelagh in his said
account the sum of 2,5911l. 17s. 0d. paid by him
to meet several bills drawn by William van Schuylenburgh
of the Hague for the pay of a Regiment of
Horse and a Regiment of Foot which "in or about
the month of April [1690] we entertained in our
service in the Low Countries" and which said
Schuylenburgh was directed to pay from time to
time according to the capitulations in that behalf :
pursuant whereto Schuylenburgh drew the following
bills on the Earl of Ranelagh, viz. 1690, June 2,
for 7,500l. ; 29 July-8 Aug. for 6,000l., whereof
only 4,011l. 17s. 0d. was for pay of said troops,
the remainder being in repayment of so much
advanced to the Second Troop of Guards and the
Royal Regiment of Horse [of England] by Mr.
William Bastiance and is accordingly charged to
the respective accounts of those Regiments by said
Earl of Ranelagh ; of Oct. 5 for 3,600l. ; of Nov. 14
for 3,600l. ; of 1690-1, Jan. 13-23 for 3,600l., and
of Jan. 26 for 3,600l. : all which bills the said Earl

Ibid, p. 405. |
Royal warrant to the Auditors of Imprests to allow
to the said Earl in his Army account, beginning
1690-1, Jan. 1, 30,000l. paid as follows, and further
to charge him in the same with the interim interest
as follows on the 20 orders for 1,000l. each
registered on the East India Goods Duties,
which the said Earl assigned to Sir Joseph Herne
and put into his hands (viz. five orders on
1690-1, Mar. 11 ; five on 1691, April 3 ; five on
May 4 and five on June 3) as towards payment of
the 30,000l. to the Duke of Savoy, being 5,000l.
per month for the six months January to June last,
according to the abovesaid treaty ; which 30,000l.
the said Earl has paid. The present warrant is by
reason that said Herne only became entitled to the
interest on the said orders from the respective days
of assignment as above ; so that the prior interest
accruing from the date of the orders to such dates
of assignment falls to be charged to the said Earl
of Ranelagh. |
King's Warrant Book XV,
p. 406. |
Treasury warrant to the Commissioners for the office
of Postmaster General to pay [out of the revenue
of the Post Office] to every seaman [of the pacquet
boats as follows] wounded in an engagement with
the enemy the smart money and pension money
and to the wives and children of the [said] seamen
killed the bounty money after the same proportion
allowed to the seamen of their Majesties' sixth rate
men of war by the Naval Chest at Chatham, viz.
whenever any extraordinary accident shall happen
whereby the deduction of 10d. as follows doth not
prove sufficient to answer the several payments
to be made out of it : all by reason that the said
Commissioners have represented by memorial dated
the 12th inst. that the pacquet boats are frequently
assaulted by the French men of war and privateers,
whereby the seamen run great hazard of losing
their lives or limbs, but not being upon the establishment
of the Navy nor capable of receiving the
benefit of the Chest of Chatham, have been frequently
very mutinous and disorderly on this account to
the prejudice of the service and preventing that
expedition which is necessary to be used in carrying
the mails and have lately requested the said Commissioners
to move for an establishment according
to the rules and orders of the Chest of Chatham
in case of such accidents to them ; upon which
the said Commissioners have represented [in their
abovesaid memorial] that towards the providing
such a fund a deduction is made of 10d. out of
one month's pay of every seaman and have therefore
recommended that when such fund shall accidentally
fall short as above, the above smart money, pension
money and bounty money may be paid by the
Receiver General of the Post Office revenue [out of
such Post Office revenue]. |
