The Treasury Lords to the [respective bodies of]
Commissioners in the country for the Poll Act
[2 Wm. and Mary, c. 2]. The remiss execution of
the first Poll [1 Wm. and Mary, c. 13] not only
occasioned that tax to fall short of what was
justly expected from it, but also induced the Parliament
to enact a review of it. We earnestly desire you
to diligently intend the service of the new Poll
and by early care and strict charge to the assessors
to prevent such omissions (especially as to titles
[of office] and personal estates) as were made in
assessing the former Polls, so that their Majesties
may not be defeated of any of this so necessary
supply for reducing of Ireland and prosecuting
the war against France. |

Declaration by the Treasury Lords that the several
sums as following, amounting to 75,000l., have
been lent by Sir Henry Ashurst, Sir John Morden,
Sir Samuel Dashwood, Sir Humphry Edwyn,
William Strong, John Foorthe and Steven Evance,
Excise Commissioners, and Charles Duncombe,
Excise Cashier, pursuant to their Majesties' pleasure,
to wit 25,000l. thereof at the desire of the late
Treasury Lords on the 12d. Aid [1 Wm. and Mary,
c. 20] ; 25,000l. more at the request of same on
the 12d. Additional Aid [1 Wm. and Mary, Sess. 2,
c. 5] ; 25,000l. more at the request of the present
Treasury Lords on the Temporary Excise [and all]
"for the supply of his Majesty's necessary and
important occasions which in an extraordinary
manner stood in need thereof," for which reason
it was agreed by his Majesty that no direction
should be given to the said Excise Commissioners
(as might have been given by the tenor of their
commission of appointment) for the lending [afresh,
or continuing the loan] of said sums on the Excise
as towards satisfying the money due to the States
General : and that [as a consequence] until the
said lenders are satisfied the said 75,000l. as well
as other moneys by them lent towards satisfying
the said debt to the States General, and with interest,
they are to continue to enjoy their places as Commissioners
and Cashier respectively in all respects
just as if said 75,000l. had been lent towards satisfying
said debt to the States General : all by reason
that the terms of the commission to said Commissioners
and to said Cashier, ut supra, pp. 273-4,
guaranteed them such continuance in office until
satisfaction of the loans and re-leans (and interest
thereon) by them made as therein towards such
debt due to the States General, on which guarantee
the said Commissioners and Cashier did lend the
100,000l. as therein before Christmas last and
other sums since (and the attorneys or deputies of
the States General have received same) : as distinct
from which the abovesaid 75,000l. was lent upon
the said duties and impositions [sic, meaning Excise,
but an erratum for, on the various assessments
as above] and has been repaid out of same and
has not been re-lent towards the further satisfaction
of said debt due to the States General. [The
purpose of this declaration is simply to safeguard
the said Commissioners from a forfeiture of their
commission by declaring that the re-loaning covenants
or clauses therein do not apply to this 75,000l.] |

(b) Memorandum, dated 1690, April 19, by the

In several accompts in my custody there is a rent
of 10l. 18s. 6d. per an. charged for another farm
(parcel of said Ten Thousand Acres), alleged to be
granted to Sir George Downing : but there is no
such lease entered in my office and no such rent
has ever been answered nor could the lands be
discovered whereout same should issue ; for which
reason the said premises were not assigned to
Queen Mary in her jointure. I conceive some of
the rents may be remaining in the tenants' hands
for three years and the rest for two years or thereabouts. |

(c) Ratal by said Surveyor General of said particular.
The premises are now valued at 3,000l.
per an. clear of all charges for repairs of banks,
