good reputation, and returned very great sums
out of the West, but soon after his Majesty's landing
in the West the said Morris failed and had then
in his hands 200l. of Hardwick's money, and by
reason that Hardwick's bond given, to the late
King James was taken away by the then Clerk of
the Securities [in the Hearthmoney and Excise
Office] Hardwick was deprived of their Majesties'
aid for the recovery of the said debt before other
of Morris's creditors, and by that means he was
forced to accept 110l. for the said debt, thus losing
90l. and Harding having been an officer in that
revenue for above these 20 years and very
industriously improved that revenue and is now
destitute of employment by reason of the taking
away of the same [the Hearth tax] : the Excise
Commissioners having in their report of the 30th ult.
confirmed his statements as above and recommended
him for consideration. The said allowance is to
be made him out of such money as is now remaining
in his hands or out of the arrears now standing out
in the officers' hands that collected under him, when
the same shall be recovered. |

Treasury order to same to observe (a) infra.
Prefixing : (a) letter, dated Council Chamber, Whitehall,
Oct. 27 inst., from eight Lords of the Privy
Council [to the Treasury Lords]. We have received
information that, notwithstanding the great care
taken in appointing and settling convoys and
regulating the number of seamen permitted to
sail, divers merchants and masters of ships have,
for gaining a market, taken opportunities of quitting
their convoy, to the prejudice of those that trade
fair and regularly, and sometimes to the detriment
of the kingdom by losing of ships, men and estates
to the enemy, and delaying their return home.
For prevention thereof we think there should be
added to the bonds already directed to be taken by
the several Orders in Council of Aug. 20 and 27,
supra, pp. 1283, 1286, a [further] clause for obliging
the said ships to proceed and return in company with
their respective convoys unless necessitated to the
contrary. We also desire that the Customs officers
take particular care that the bonds so to be entered
into be good and sufficient and that at the return
of the respective convoys they examine whether the
same ships that went out with them be come home
with them ; and, if not, that they enquire what is
become of them ; and to return an account thereof
so that the said bonds may be put in suit if there
shall be occasion, and also so that their Majesties
may thereby have information of the seamen that
remain on board. |
Out Letters (Customs) XII,
p. 359. |
Same to same to observe (a) infra.
Prefixing : (a) Order of the King in Council, dated
Whitehall, Oct. 27 inst., that the present embargo
on all ships bound from London port to the several
places of Cadiz, Alicante, Malaga, Majorca and
Barcelona be taken off and discontinued until
Dec. 1 next inclusive ; provided that the masters
first give bond pursuant to the Order of Aug. 27
last, supra, p. 1286 : all by reason that the Committee
for Trade and Plantations has proposed
that the convoy intended for the Spanish trade
(viz. the places as above), being two fourth-rates,
may sail from the Buoy in the Nore Dec. 1 next. |
Ibid, p. 360. |
Treasury warrant to the Surveyor General of Crown
Lands for a particular and ratal of a tenement
called Haunch in the manor of Boyton [co. Cornwall] ;
with a view to a new lease thereof to John Oliver
for two lives in reversion at the old rent of 18l.
per an. and fine of 60l. ; and the increased rent of
6l. per an. in the lease in being is to be discharged
in consideration of 42l. to be by him paid.
Prefixing : report by William Tailer, in the absence
of the Surveyor General, on said Oliver's petition,
ut supra, p. 724. The tenement in question was
granted inter alia to Henry Seymour for the life
of Henry Trelawney ; and petitioner is in possession
thereof as executor to John Oliver, who purchased
Seymour's interest. It is valued in the surveys
at 20l. per an., but will not yield so much now.
Mr. Trelawney is a healthy man. I therefore value
the reversion as above at 60l. |
