Report to the Queen from the Treasury Lords on the
petition of Sir Bazill Firebrace and others, freighters
and owners of the ship William and James, ut supra,
p. 1636. In a former case of this kind concerning
the Swan pink and her lading (which coming from
the Leeward Islands was taken and carried into
France) it was ordered by the King in Council that
she should be permitted to be brought with her
cargo into England and should be admitted to entry
on payment of Customs on security that nothing
but the cargo from the West Indies should be
imported therein. If like lease be granted in the
present case the duty on the Portugal wines will
come to 2,000l. The Customs Commissioners therefore
advise permission on similar security. We do
not object thereto. |

Same to the Deputy Surveyor General of Crown
Lands for a particular of certain houses in Suffolk
Street [London], with a view to a lease thereof to
Edward Russell, esq., for 99 years in reversion of
the terms in being : without fine in consideration
of his eminent services to their Majesties.
Prefixing : (a) note of said Russell's petition, as
referred Mar. 11 last ; (b) report, dated Mar. 14
last, from William Taylor, Deputy Surveyor General
thereon. The late Queen Mother's Trustees granted
to John Harvey and Sir John Coell, in trust for
the late Earl of St. Albans, all the bailiwick or
manor of St. James's for several terms, the last
whereof expired at Michaelmas, 1691. By indenture
of 23 Sept., 1662, Charles II confirmed the said
leases made by the Queen Mother and granted a
further term of 29 years from 1691, Michaelmas,
in the piece of ground, here petitioned for, called
Suffolk Stable Yard, heretofore enclosed with a
brick wall and containing about three acres, upon
which several tenements are erected now called
Suffolk Street. The interest as to this parcel was
assigned to the late Earl of Suffolk and by him to
divers other persons.
In 1679 the Surveyor General [Sir C. Harbord]
made an estimate or survey of the whole manor of
St. James's and certified that there were then
standing on this ground about 60 houses, whereof
the ground rents paid by the improvers were
accounted 250. per an., and he then valued 50
of these houses upon the improvement at 20l.
per an. each, or 1,000l. above the said ground rent,
and the other 10 at 50l. per an., or 500l, above the
same, making in all, with the said ground rents,
1,750l. per an.
I have viewed the premises and find them rather
fallen than improved since 1679, so that the desired
reversion cannot be valued at more than four years'
purchase, or 7,000l. |
