William Jephson to the Attorney and Solicitor General
and to Sir Charles Hedges, Judge of the High Court
of Admiralty. The Commissioners for Prizes have
represented to the Treasury Lords that several
private undertakers would take out letters of
marque from the Admiralty Court here and [would]
pass to the West Indies, but are restrained by an
obligation required from them to send home all
their prizes ; whereto they object the hazard of
the voyage, the danger of their [the prizes] being
re-taken, the disfurnishing their own ships of men
and that the goods are sometimes of a perishable
nature. The Treasury Lords having heard your
opinions in that matter desire you, with the Prizes
Commissioners, to draw up for my Lords the form
of a bond whereby such adventurers may be left
at liberty to resort to the next judicature [port]
where a Court [of Admiralty] is or shall be erected
by their Majesties' authority for the trial and
adjudication of prizes ; but that the account of
the proceed of the said prizes when required shall
be given here in England. |

Alexander Schimmelpennink ab Oye, Lord of Engelinburg ;
Nicholas Witsen, Consul of Amsterdam ;
William Nassau, Lord Odyk ; Arnold de Citters,

[as] their plenipotentiaries, procurators and agents
to receive the 600,000l. as under the Act of 1 William
and Mary, c. 28, either from the Exchequer or from
persons [in England] willing to lend money on the
credit of said Act and in the latter case with power
to repay the same by transferring or assigning to
them the like sums out of the duties and impositions
appropriated by the said Act, with power to make
registers in the Exchequer or to strike tallies of
assignment in order thereto : and further the said
procurators, Lords Engelenburg, Witsen, Odyk,
Citters and Dykvelt have by deed agreed that for
the further security of such lenders a public register
shall be made or established in the Exchequer and
the moneys arising since Michaelmas last on the
duties appropriated by the Act as abovesaid shall
be issued and paid by orders [registered in chronological
order or] in course upon such register : and
further the said Ashurst et al. as above have agreed
to lend 100,000l. to be applied towards satisfaction
of said 600,000l. to the States General and to renew
loans for that purpose in manner set down in a
patent under the great seal, dated Oct. 14 ult.,
"and it is very likely" that they or others may
advance [further] sums towards the same purpose.
To that end therefore it is hereby commanded
(in accordance with the Act of 1 James II, c. 17,
confirming the Act of 19 Car. II, c. 12, concerning
assigning orders in the Exchequer) that the money
arising out of the duties appropriated as above
shall be paid into the Exchequer, separate accounts
kept of it and no tallies of assignment or anticipation
or warrant of any kind shall be drawn to divert
the same and that a register as above shall be kept
in the Receipt of the Exchequer to which lenders
shall have free access, and tallies of loan shall be
struck thereon immediately any loan is made and
thereupon orders of repayment out of the said funds
are to be forthwith drawn. And in the first place
orders are to be signed thereon for 20,000l. in
part of 60,000l. to the servants of Charles II as by
the said Act : this sum to be registered first on
the said register and thereafter the orders of loan
in their course by date as above, and no preference
is to be given to one person above another contrary
to the said course. But if the persons concerned
do not come for their money in their due course
or turn, the interest thereon is to cease from the
time that their money is thereby reserved and kept
in bank for them. For the further encouragement
of lenders no fees or rewards are hereby to be
taken from them in respect of such loans. And
the sum of 600,000l. or any part thereof is hereby
to be paid to the States General out of such loans.
Provided always that the remainder of the 60,000l.
to the servants of Charles II be satisfied by the
King's direction out of the funds as above at the
times appointed by the Appropriating Act as above.
Further hereby 6 per cent interest is to be paid
on such loans as above ; to be paid out of the
Excise. |

William Jephson to the Customs Commissioners. The
Treasury Lords have considered your report of Aug. 23
last on the complaint against Mr. Warren, customer
of Plymouth, for the escape of two French [ships']
commanders committed to his care. It appears
by certificate of Sir Nicholas Slanning, Deputy
Governor of Plymouth, and Lieut.-Col. Trelawney
that after the Deputy Governor had refused to
receive the said prisoners into the citadel and the
Major [Mayor] refused to put them in the common
gaol the said Lieut.-Col. Trelawney and the rest
of the officers of that Regiment gave Mr. Warren
their opinions and advice that there was not a
more fit place for securing them than that into
which they were put, and that there was always a
strong guard of soldiers placed upon them. And
the Earl of Bath certifies that he conceives Mr.
Warren could do no more than he did. Mr. Lytcott
also certifies that Warren has held his office for
many years and faithfully discharged his trust
therein. These certificates are made since your
report. My Lords are disposed to continue Warren
in his place and to release him from further attendance
here. |

Same to the Commissioners at Ipswich for the 12d.
Aid. The Treasury Lords referred to Sir John
Somers, the Solicitor General, your letter of the
28th ult., complaining of the assessors for not
doing their duty. His opinion, dated Nov. 5,
thereon is as follows : "In case of an appeal the
Commissioners may increase the assessments, but
I do not see that by the Act the Commissioners
have any power to compel the assessors (who are
named by the Commissioners and do act upon
their oaths) to alter their assessments. But I think
it may be proper for the Commissioners to let the
assessors know that if they wilfully under-rate
persons contrary to their knowledge they are
liable to be prosecuted by way of indictment."
You are to govern yourselves according to this
opinion. |
Ibid.
|
|
Same to the like Commissioners at Doncaster in co.
Yorks. My Lords referred to the above Solicitor
General yours of the 2nd inst. concerning the

Act which does warrant the assessing of attorneys
for their practice ; but I conceive the officers of
the Excise are to be assessed for their employments."
Govern yourselves accordingly. |

William Jephson to Mr. Blathwayte to lay before

presentment.
Appending : said presentment, dated Nov. 9, from
the Customs Commissioners on the subject matter
of the letter from Mr. Fryth of Chester, concerning
the inconvenience of bringing ships to Park
Gate, New Quay and Denwall in Chester port if
employed on his Majesty's service, ut supra,
p. 292. The collector of Chester port to whom
we referred the matter has represented thereon
that for ships of great burthen which cannot when
laden lie aground without prejudice Park Gate is
not so convenient. But that ships of Chester,
Liverpool and Whitehaven are not of the [said]
sort, for they are built chiefly for the coal trade
and are used to lie aground and for such ships
Park Gate is most convenient, and that these ships
being chiefly employed on that [the King's] service
the Commissioners presenting their bills of lading
at the Custom House may have such speedy
despatches that a tide may not be lost. He therefore
desires that a proviso be added to the order
that such ships as cannot so lie aground, by reason
of their burden or fashion of build, they may take
in their lading at Hoylake. |

and that although the Commissary General has
made no exact return of what provisions are delivered
out, yet you should have made deductions out of
the subsistence according to the best conjecture
that you could make, for want of which 'tis feared
the King may suffer some loss. To prevent this,

The Treasury Lords to the Lord Mayor of London.
On the 9th inst. the House of Commons voted that they
will take care that persons advancing up to 300,000l.
on the 12d. Subsidy [Aid] Bill should have their
debts transferred to the [2s.] Subsidy now granted
in case the other fall short. By the King's command
we are to let you know that his affairs at this instant
(before the supplies which are intended can be
settled in a Parliamentary way and be made effectual)
are very much streightened for want of money for
the Navy and for the reducing of Ireland and other
important uses ; therefore desiring that the city
will make loans into the Exchequer on the security
of the 12d. Aid or (as above) in case of deficiency
then the security to be supplied out of the new
Aids. The King has had so many proofs of the
city's zeal in his service that he believes that they will
comply herewith in some considerable proportion.
We therefore recommend to you to call a Common
Council and to communicate to them this letter. |
