Same to the Customs Commissioners to take
only the lesser duty on coals exported or to
be exported to the Plantations as follows. In a
memorial of Dec. 23 last the said Commissioners
represented that by the Act of Tonnage and Poundage,
12 Car. II, c. 4, sea coals exported in English
ships are to pay 5s. the chaldron London measure
and 8s. Newcastle measure. By the Act of Trade,
15 Car. II, c. 7, the said duty, with particular regard
to the encouragement of the English Plantations,
was lessened to 1s. London measure and 1s. 8d.
Newcastle measure. The Act of Tonnage and
Poundage now subsisting [2 Wm. and Mary, c. 4]
grants the said duties for four years according to the
rates as in the Act of 12 Car. II, c. 4, and rules and
orders thereto annexed "other than such concerning
which it is otherwise provided or ordained by any
Act made in the last Parliament." "Now though
this last grant is passed as a Public Aid, and so to
be construed most beneficially for their Majesties'
advantage, and though the said Act of 15 Car. II,
c. 7, be not particularly mentioned therein as
revived (as many others are), yet inasmuch as the
said Act of Trade is generally looked upon to be
a perpetual law and that the Plantations do not
deserve less encouragement now than when that
law was first passed in their favour, the question
arises whether the greater or lesser duties upon
coals is now to be taken : and we [the Treasury
Lords] having received the opinion of their Majesties'
Attorney General that the law is not clear in this
case, but it is a probable opinion that the lesser
duty may be taken according to the Act 15 Car. II
[c. 7], that the law was understood and practised
so in the reign of King James II, that the most
favourable construction is to be used for the publique
good and this lowering is affirmed to be a prudent
policy for the encouragement of the Plantations
and the increase of navigation." |

Treasury warrant to the Surveyor General of Crown
Lands for a particular and ratal of several parcels
of land, in order to a lease thereof to Robert Price
for 29 years in reversion of the existing term : at
3l. 18s. 0d. per an. rent and fine of 3l.
Prefixing : report by William Tailer, Deputy Surveyor
General of Crown Lands, on said Price's petition
for said lease. A particular was made out 1687,
Oct. 31, pursuant to a Treasury warrant of 1687,
June 16 (supra, Calendar of Treasury Books, Vol.
VIII, p. 1693), but before the same was rated
Mr. Fisher, then Deputy Surveyor of Crown Lands,
found that some of the premises were assigned to
another person, and Mr. Price was thereby unable
to make a surrender of the lease in being. Therefore
Mr. Fisher advised a reversionary lease for 25½
years from 1693, Michaelmas, at 3l. 18s. 0d. per an.
rent and fine of 40s. But Mr. Fisher dying soon
after that report, it was not proceeded in. According
to Fisher's report, the premises seem scarce worth
the charge of passing a lease.
[The warrant to the Clerk of the Pipe for this
lease does not appear in the Treasury records : but
there is an undated entry of the Treasury Lords'
signature of the docquet of a lease to Robert Price,
esq., of several lands and tenements in Clifford,
Huntington and the city of Hereford and of two
cottages in Tenbury in co. Worcester for the term,
rent and fine as above.] |

taken away by the ceasing of the said revenue,
whereby he has been utterly unable to repay same :
his Majesty having signified his pleasure to remit
the debt. |

Same to the Mayor and Recorder of Plymouth. Complaint
has been made to my Lords by the Commissioners
for Victualling the Navy that you caused
their Majesties' Victualling Office to be taxed for
the last year at 12s. per month and caused the
collectors, Thomas Rashley and John Crabb, to
distrain for the same on their Majesties' goods and
to take 7l. 10s. 0d. for redemption thereof. I am
commanded to ask you to give their Lordships a
speedy account upon what reason the same was
done, "because their Majesties' houses being for
public use are noe where taxed." (Same to the
Victualling Commissioners, enclosing the above
letter, "which my Lords direct you to take care
may be delivered to them." |

Treasury warrant to the Surveyor General of Crown
Lands for a particular and ratal of the two Hundreds
of Toseland and Leighton[stone], co. Huntingdon,
in order to a new lease thereof to Charles, Earl of
Manchester, for 31 years from 1692, Lady day, at
57s. 9d. rent.
Prefixing : report by William Tailer, Deputy Surveyor
General of Crown Lands, on the said Earl's
petition, ut supra, p. 1436. The said Hundreds
are rather honorary than profitable and have been
long in petitioner's family, the last lease being
1660-1, Mar. 22, to Edward, Earl of Manchester,
at the same rental, which was very near the full
value of the certain rents. The casualties are very
inconsiderable. |
