Treasury warrant to the Principal Officers of the
Ordnance to charge upon the account of Sir George
Wharton, late Treasurer and Paymaster of the
Ordnance, the item of 611l. 4s. 11¾d. as following.
By the said Wharton's last state of cash, dated
1681, Aug. 12, there remained 2,533l. 13s. 6d. of
the King's money in his hands, which sum was
transferred to the account of Charles Bertie, present
Treasurer and Paymaster of the Ordnance, by a
privy seal of 1681-2, Jan. 31. But said Bertie has
really received from the executors of the said
Wharton only 1,922l. 8s. 6¼d., "by reason it since
appeared by a more strict enquiry into the accounts
of the said Sir George Wharton that he had not
so much cash in his hands." Bertie is therefore
hereby to have a debenture for the balance of
611l. 4s. 11¾d. and Wharton's account is to be
charged with the same, he having had credit therein
for the said balance, being more than his executors
actually paid. |

|
Same to Sir John Sommers, Attorney General, to
enter a noli prosequi to the information against
Cornelius Noortwick and Derick Meyn, "owner"
of the ship St. Martin, for importing 400 casks of
refined Hars, which they alleged were manufactured
and made in Holland of natural and coarse Hars
without any rosen used therein or any of those
materials of which rosen is made ; but being Dutchmen
and not knowing the right English name of the
goods they entered it as rosin, "which it seems is
prohibited to be imported from Holland" ; and the
Customs Commissioners having reported that the
commodity in question is of a distinct species from
that of rosin, the latter being made of French
turpentine and is called in Holland by the name of
Harpuijs, whereas the former is made of a gum or
pitch of the product of Muscovia, and was actually
manufactured or made up at Edam in Holland and
is distinguished by the name of Hars : wherefore the
said Commissioners are of opinion that although by
the Act of Frauds [14 Car. II, c. 11, § 23] no sort
of rozin may be imported from Germany or the
Netherlands, yet this being a distinct production
from that commonly called rosin and really the
manufacture of Holland (though it seems to be of
the same kind and bears the same figure with rosin
and serves for the same uses and purposes) their
case may be favourably considered, the rather
because the rosin of France is at this time prohibited
and the commodity at this time very useful. |
Ibid, pp. 418-9. |
|
Treasury reference to the Attorney General of the
petition of William Claver, shewing that, being a
Customs officer at Weymouth, he prosecuted one
Richard Strong for transporting wool, who was
found guilty and fined 90l. ; that Strong brought
an action for 170l., money lent by his son and others,
and this and the 300l. costs of the suit has forced
petitioner to sell all he had ; that he has since
brought an action for perjury against John Strong,
and Richard Strong is willing to repair petitioner's
damages if the proceedings can be stayed : therefore
petitioner prays a noli prosequi to the said proceedings. |

Same to the Excise Commissioners to discharge

(who was brewer to the late King James II), was
indebted for the Excise of beer and ale brewed by
him in his late brewhouse in St. Peter Street between
1687, Aug. 13, and Feb. 11 following ; and for
which the said Commissioners have passed judgment
against the father whereby the brewing vessels are
liable ; whereas it appears that Michael purchased
same from his father two years before the latter's
death, who has not left assets to pay the debt ; but
that 200l. remains due to him from James II for
beer and ale delivered into that King's cellar at
Whitehall. The present discharge is to be in lieu
and satisfaction of the said 200l. |

Same to Mr. [Auditor] Aldworth. There is

Mr. Schulenburg for provisions [of war] bought by
him in Holland. His Majesty agreed in January
last that this should be satisfied by 1,000l. per
week after payment of what was then due to Schulenburg
from the Earl of Ranelagh, the first weekly
payment to commence from Feb. 4, and in case of
failure of any of those payments he was to have
6 per cent. interest and 2 per cent. gratuity.
Also, there were bills drawn by Schulenburg for
money paid in Flanders for the Troops of Saxe
Gotha which should have been paid by said Earl
on the last days of grace, viz. 5,300l. on Mar. 11
last and 892l. on April 29 last, with the like interest

Of these sums only 1,000l. was paid Mar. 8 last

to compute the interest and gratuity on the
unpaid balances. |
