The Treasury Lords to the Commissioners of Public
Accounts. In your letter of the 17th inst. you
acquaint us that William Jephson [late our Secretary]
did not before his decease make return to you upon
several precepts by which he was required to exhibit
to you a certificate upon oath of all money of their
Majesties' public revenue paid to him since 1688,
Nov. 5, for and towards secret service, and by
what warrant, privy seal or order [each item thereof
was paid to him], with an account upon oath "of
all pensions, salaries and sums of money paid or
payable to Members of Parliament out of their
Majesties' revenue to him paid." You have now
desired us to give you what light we can therein
and to provide that such an account may be exhibited
to you of all sums paid by Jephson to Members of
Parliament out of any revenue paid to Jephson for
secret service as far as the same is come to our
privity and knowledge and that the person whom
we should appoint to deliver such account to you
should make oath of the due and true payments
of the sums for those uses, together with the sums in
gross received by him [Jephson] for secret service
since 1688, Nov. 5.
We have endeavoured (although the whole number
of our Commission is not at present in town) to
inform "you ourselves" [sic for ourselves] in such
matters as might enable us to give you the best
lights we can in the premises : and upon this occasion
do think it necessary that you should know in
what method the whole business relating to secret
service moneys hath been transacted since we have
had the honour to serve their Majesties in the
Commission of the Treasury, and (as we believe) in
the time of the Commissioners preceding us from
the 5th of November, 1688, until the decease of
Mr. Jephson.
The foundation of the payments made to the said
Mr. Jephson for the said use have been their Majesties
letters issued under the privy seal either directing
and authorising that a certain sum of money therein
expressed should be paid to him for the service
aforesaid at the Receipt of the Exchequer or else
directing and authorising that such sums should
be paid as their Majesties by warrants under the
royal sign manual should appoint, in which last
case warrants have been signed by his Majesty
when in England, and at other times by the Queen,
for making the said payments to the said Mr.
Jephson. Upon those privy seals or warrants of
their Majesties the Treasury Commissioners issue
their [money] warrants to the Auditor of the Receipt
to draw the orders for the sums contained therein
and afterwards sign those orders.
It has been upon these orders that Jephson from
time to time received the money at the Exchequer
and expended or distributed the same in parcels
according to such verbal directions as be from time
to time received from his Majesty when in England
or from the Queen when his Majesty was in Ireland
or the Low Countries, "who privately entrusted
him [Jephson] in that affair without our knowing
or being any way privy to the particular uses to
which or the particular persons to whom the same
were applied and without our making any warrants
or orders concerning the said moneys save only
for secret service in general. And altho', as we
are informed, Mr. Jephson (who received those
moneys without account) did nevertheless make
lists of his payments and at certain times received
their Majesties' approbation of the same, those
lists have not been liable to our view or inspection ;
nor did they ever pass in account, any more than
[do] the moneys paid to the Privy Purse or other
uses where the original authorities direct the issuing
of the same without any account or imprest."
"When you shall have duly considered this,
which we believe has been the constant method
for payments of this nature ever since they have
been used, we doubt not but it will appear very
plain to you that it is not in our power to send
you such an account as you desire of the particular
pensions, salaries and sums of money paid to Members
of Parliament as aforesaid."
But as to the privy seals and warrants issued by
their Majesties and the [money] warrants and
orders signed by us, the same are all registered
and the originals do all remain in the Receipt of
the Exchequer, where you have power to send for
them if you have not had an account thereof already.
In the account which we gave the Parliament of
the public moneys from the 5th of November, 1688,
to 1690, June 24, now in your custody, there are
contained all the sums which were issued to Mr.
Jephson within that time : and of those which he
received from Midsummer, 1690, till the time of
his death we have directed a schedule to be forthwith
made, which shall be sent to you as soon as
finished. |

of the whole and to Sydney, Lord Godolphin, a

Neale's, own use as royal bounty without account :

same to the King or the Treasury as often as shall
be required.
Further, the present herein great seal is to grant

The Treasury Lords to the Lords Justices, Ireland.
In yours of May 19 last you represented the delay
given to the Commissioners for stating the Accounts
of the Army from the want of several papers not
transmitted to you. We directed such accompts
and copies to be made up as you desired and will
send them as soon as we receive them from the
officers concerned. You also therein desire to know
what method is to be observed in accompting with
the Army and with each Regiment, to wit : whether
according to the establishment and by placing
the charge of recruits to their [each Regiment's]
respective accounts to bring them to a balance,
or by the muster rolls, "and thereby their Majesties
taking the benefitt of the cheques [checkings of
the rolls] bear the charge of the recruits themselves."
We answer that the state of the arrear due to the
said Army in Ireland is to be made up according
to such musters as have been made from time to
time : the muster of December, 1689, to be the
guide to the 1st of June following ; and from that
day to be guided by the muster taken in January,
1690-1, till the next muster since that time. And
we desire you to direct the Commissioners for
stating these Accounts to receive any representations
from the officers of the Army in relation to the
times of receiving their respective recruits and to
transmit them over [to us] as a memorandum in
the accompt. And further that you will send over
an accompt of all that has been paid to the Danes
on accompt of their pay or otherwise in Ireland ;
and that you direct Mr. Feilding to send an accompt
of what has been charged to them [the Danes] in
Scotland and England.
Mr. Pereyra and Mr. Bridges have represented
to us that they could never receive any regular
charge of what provisions have been issued to
them from time to time out of the stores in Ireland
and they have given this as a reason for delaying
their accompts, to the prejudice of their Majesties'
service. We desire you to direct Mr. Van Homvig
[Homrig], or any others concerned, to forthwith
give Pereyra his full charge [debit] as to those
provisions. |

disposed of, and who of right ought to pay

to the Treasury Lords from time to time an exact
account of his proceedings : all by reason that it
has been represented to my Lords that divers of
the said fee farm rents and other rents directed to
be sold by Act of Parliament under Charles II are
yet unsold or set apart for payment of [county]
pensions ; whereupon my Lords directed the said
Digby to give an account thereof, which he has
done by a certificate containing a particular abstract
of the rents remaining unsold, and my Lords do
not wish his Majesty's good subjects who used to
pay same to be unjustly molested in case they or
any others have purchased the same. |
