William Jephson to Mr. John Machell, at his house
at Horsham, Sussex, enclosing the Attorney General's
opinion upon the doubt raised in Machell's letter
of the 10th inst. whether ready money were to be
charged by the 12d. Aid. Communicate this statement
to the rest of the [Assessment] Commissioners
for your county, so that they may give order for
assessing ready money accordingly.
Appending : said statement of opinion, signed by
Sir Geo. Treby. I conceive that ready moneys
are to be taxed at 6s. per cent [100l.] by the Act
[1 Wm. and Mary, c. 20] for the 12d. Aid. (1) It
is a personal estate. (2) It is capable of being
disposed and employed to advantage as much as
wares or merchandizes. (3) There is this express
clause in the Act, "if any person who ought to be
taxed by virtue of this Act for or in respect of his
ready moneys or personall estate shall at the time
of his assessment be out of the realm," which is a
plain declaration of the mind of the law in this behalf. |

The Treasury Lords to the Duke of "Sconberg,"
General of the Army and Master General of the
Ordnance. We have yours of the 7th inst. in
reply to ours of the 17th ult., wherein we acquainted
you what we had done, by the King's command,
in order to the settling the revenue in those places
in Ireland which are under their Majesties' obedience.
You observe that of the 25 [revenue] officers
nominated by us there were not above eight then
in Ireland. Several of these officers received their
commissions more than a month since, and we
doubt not are now entered on their places. For
those that were then in Ireland we sent over commissions
by Mr. Carleton, the collector of Belfast
and Carrickfergus, with some in blank in case an
officer could not be found. We have also given
power to the collectors to appoint tidewaiters and
gaugers. So we hope there will be no want of
officers. As to those you appointed to manage
the revenue before our said commissions arrived,
we will make provision for them when the King
nominates Commissioners of the revenue for Ireland. |
