Out Letters (Customs) XII,
p. 458. |
Report to the Queen from the Treasury Lords on the
proposal made for sending lead in six of the King's
frigates for the Levant. We submit a report from
the Customs Commissioners to us thereon.
Appending : said report, dated Oct. 14 inst. The
Customs and charges upon shipping the lead here
are about 22s. per fodder or 478l. 10s. 0d. on the
whole 435 fodder. This would reduce the gain
from 2,342l. 0s. 5d. to 1,863l. 10s. 5d., "and how
far that sum may be equivalent to the demurrage
of six frigatts (supposing 4 fourth rates and 2 third
rates) which may stand the King in at least 250l.
per diem we submit to your Lordships' judgment.
seeing there must be an expense of time to get
out the lead from amongst the ships' provisions,"
and this cannot be done within the mole (because
of the frigates' draught of water) but in the open
road of Leghorn. The landing therefore might be
very uncertain, especially in the winter season,
and might necessitate the frigates staying in port
longer than may consist with their other orders.
Also so great a quantity of lead coming at once to
Leghorn may abate the price thereof and so lessen
the estimated profit and "may likewise be a great
disappointment to the English merchants trading
therein." |

of Aug. 23 last I submitted that unless a clipper
makes confession and discovery of his confederates
without reserve before trial or conviction it seldom
or never proves useful to any effect. Petitioners
are convicted and therefore not legal witnesses and
consequently their information of no benefit to
the Government. If such as are convicted for
these crimes are made examples, as was done the
former Sessions on five, it will be a terror to others,
and in a short time occasion those that shall be
taken (which are but few) to make seasonable
discoveries of the numerous criminals concerned in
this treasonable practice. |

Treasury order to the Customs Commissioners to
observe (a) infra.
Prefixing : (a) Order of the Privy Council, dated
Whitehall, Oct. 20 inst., about the sailing of the
Virginia and Maryland ships. The Admiralty
Lords this day reported (on an Order of the Privy
Council of Oct. 13 inst.) that the Virginia merchants
have promised that their ships shall be all ready
and cleared at Gravesend by Jan. 15 next, by
which time the convoys may also be ready. The
said merchants have this day represented to the
Board that the ships bound for Virginia and Maryland
from the Bristol and St. George's Channels,
not going with the convoy, will sail to their market
upon taking off the embargo and return home a
month or two sooner than the London ships, and
therefore they pray that the ships from the said
outports may not be permitted to sail till 10 days
after the time limited for the London ships to sail
with the convoy from the Downs, "whereby all
will sail about the same time" ; and that they be
obliged not to come from Virginia and Maryland
before the convoy, but to keep company with them
as far as their way lies together, by which means
all the said ships will go out and come home to
the market about the same time and trade upon
equal terms. Hereupon it is this day ordered that
all the ships allowed to go this year to Virginia and
Maryland, according to a list to be adjusted by
the Customs Commissioners pursuant to the Order
in Council of Sept. 12 last, supra, p. 1819, and
to be approved by this Board, be subject to the
following rules : viz. that those from any ports of
the English Channel between St. Ives and Berwick
inclusive give security to go and return with the
convoy ; to which end those sailing from London
and ports northward are to be ready in the Downs
on Jan. 15 next to sail with the convoy there and
those from the Western ports from the Downs to
St. Ives are to be ready to join said convoy as
they pass along the Channel ; and those from the
Bristol and St. George's Channels from St. Ives
to Carlisle are not to sail out of port till Jan. 25
next : all with the usual bonds, particularly for
their returning from Virginia and Maryland with
the appointed convoy. |

Treasury warrant to William Tailer for a constat or
particular and ratal of the bailiwick of the Hundred
of Northwich in order to a lease thereof to Sir John
Manwaring for three lives at 10l. per an. rent for
the profits of Courts and 15l. fine and 6l. 1s. 8d.
per an. rent for the bailiwick of the Hundred.
Prefixing : said Tailer's report, as Deputy Surveyor
General of Crown Lands, on said Manwaring's
petition for same. The said bailiwick was granted
in 1662 to Sir Thomas Manwaring, petitioner's
father. It is rather honorary than profitable. I
find the said rent has been discontinued and the
premises held by petitioner's ancestors without
accompt from the 3rd of Eliz. until it was revived
in the grant of 1662. |
Warrants not Relating to
Money XIV, pp. 105-6. |
Same to same for a same of a coal work in the manor
of Farrington Gurney with a view to a lease thereof
to John Mogg for 31 years at a tenth to the Crown
of the clear yearly value and a sixth of the arrears
if recovered on the former lease.
Prefixing : the like report. Petitioner's grandfather
had a lease of said coal works in 11 Car. I. for 21
years at a sixth the yearly value ; but finding little
encouragement in working it he got this reduced to
a tenth. In 1650 the Parliament's Survey found
the coal mine out of work and conceived them to
be of no use. In 1660 Sir Hugh Tint obtained a
new lease at 14l. per an rent, which he desired to
surrender in 1669, having made no profit thereof,
and thereupon he took a new lease of the coal mines
in this manor and in the manor of Midsomer Norton
for 31 years at a sixth. No account of any profits
has been rendered and not a penny paid to the
Crown, but petitioner alleges that some profits
have been made by Sir Hugh Tynt and his executors.
A grant may be made to petitioner as above to
encourage him to discover such detained profits. |
