The Treasury Lords to the Bishop of Exeter. Referring

we have received a fresh complaint from Mr. Ford

the Attorney General's report that the goods ought
to be delivered to Mr. Ford. We therefore desire
you to forthwith deliver same. In order to your
indemnity we have taken bond of said Ford and
partners in 10,000l. to re-deliver same in case you
or any other make out any title thereto within
three months. |

Report to the Treasury Lords [from William Blathwayte

the memorial of Chidley Brook, ut supra, p. 543.
The former Collector and Receiver of New York,
viz. Lucas Santon did, without any direction or
establishment, take to himself 40l. per an. out of
the revenue of New York for salary paid by him
to a surveyor and 30l. per an. for a landwaiter and
searcher and craved an allowance for same upon
his accounts in 1687, but same was not allowed.
His successor, Mathew Plowman, applied for an
allowance of salaries to a landsurveyor and two
waiters and the Treasury Lords, by Mr. Guy, directed
the Governor of New York to ascertain what might
be reasonably allowed for same : but no return
was made thereto by Col. Dungan or by the succeeding
Governor, Sir Edmond Andros. I advise that
the [abovesaid] former order to the Governor be
renewed and that such salaries may be allowed as
he shall advise not exceeding 40l. per an. for the
landsurveyor and 30l. per an. for two waiters.
In response to your Lordships' orders of Mar. 28
last I have prepared a draft of Mr. Brooks's instructions
for his office of collector of New York suitable
to former instructions given for said office [see supra,
pp. 254, 561]. |
