has been discovered upon the shoals or rocks of
the Serranillas, about 40 leagues south of the
west end of Jamaica, and thereupon a proclamation
has been issued by the President and Council of
Jamaica, dated 1689, Dec. 9, declaring that any
inhabitant of Jamaica might go in search of any
wrecks in the American seas and to fish and dive
for same, provided always that they return to
Jamaica with their treasure and make a full and
true entry in the Naval Office [there] and pay to
the Governor, for the King, a full tenth part of
the treasure received by them. Thereupon about
13 sloops had been fitted out and sent with the
King's frigate Drake to the said wreck on the
Serranillas and had been some time working on
said wreck and had taken up 23 Dough Boys or
lumps of silver, some broken plate and gold beads,

Memorial from the Treasury Lords to the King. We
humbly transmit herein an estimate [missing]
which we have caused to be made of all the moneys
that can reasonably be expected, as well from
Crown revenues as from arrears of taxes, between
this time and Nov. 1 next, amounting to
164,251l. 2s. 4½d. But considering that the article
for the Excise is computed somewhat largely and
the sum of 55,355l. to arise from the Customs will
depend very much upon the timely coming of the
merchants' ships now at Plymouth and other places
to London we cannot ground any certainty, but
are only in hopes that the whole sum comprehended
in this estimate will be completed in the said time.
The subsistence of the Forces under the Earl of
Ranelagh's payment, including the English Forces
in Holland and those lately arrived from Ireland,
will in 12 weeks' time amount to 96,078l. ; Monsieur
Schulenberg's bill due three weeks ago is 15,600l. ;
another from him for 6,000l. will be due in eight
days ; there is 30,000l. to be sent to Ireland ; and
there is 10,000l. unpaid to the Vaudois. The whole
amounts to 157,678l. And we have reason to fear
that contingencies of several kinds not to be foreseen
(without reckoning the Navy, the Ordnance, the
transport ships, the Marine Regiments and clearings
yet unpaid to Jan. 1 last) will necessarily require
every week as great a sum as the known expences.
So that we have just cause to apprehend that the
money to come in by the said 1st of November
(from which time your Majesty's revenues are
almost wholly anticipated with [by] the loans
charged thereupon) will not be sufficient to discharge
the payments which may be absolutely necessary
until that day. We think it our duty to lay these
particulars before your Majesty and humbly submit
same to your great wisdom.
[Memorandum :] a copy of the enclosed estimate
remains in the Treasury. |

William Jephson to the Treasurer of the Navy. In
your memorial of the 13th inst. you represent that
the merchants and tradesmen who deal with the
Navy (and whose bills are to be satisfied out of
tallies and orders of loan for 90,000l. on the Customs
[which are] put into your hands in lieu of the weekly
money formerly supplied for the current service of
the Navy) do solicit for assignments on the said
orders with interest in regard some of them were
to be paid in ready money and others of them
were to be paid interest after six months, which
time is expired ; and all of them desire ready
money rather than the said orders. My Lords
therefore desire you to assign the said orders to
said merchants and tradesmen with interest from
the dates thereof as you propose. |

Treasury warrant to the Surveyor General of Crown
Lands for a particular of the lead and coal mines
within the Hundred of Prestatyn, co. Flint, in
order to a lease thereof to Joshua Edisbury, esq.,
for 25 years from Feb. 12 last at 6s. 8d. per an. :
with power to the lessee to dig for copper and all
other metals, reserving a tenth to the King.
Prefixing : said Surveyor General's report on said
Edisbury's petition, ut supra, p. 320. The lead
and coal mines in the premises were granted 1661,
May 14, to Roger Grosvenor for 31 years at 40s.
per an. rent, which grant has by descent vested
in Dr. John Edisbury, petitioner's brother [? in law],
to whom a new lease was passed 1673-4, Feb. 12,
on surrender in consideration that the rent had
been paid to that time without any profit made
by working "and therefore it was esteemed a
service to the Crown to renew the same, the better
to encourage the Dr. in sinking pits and working
those mines that so the King might have his tenth
part, but I am not informed of any lead or coals
that have been yet recovered." He now desires
to search for copper and all other sorts of mines,
it being supposed that some kind of metal may be
produced there. I advise the old rent of 40s. per an.
for the lead and coals and 6s. 8d. per an. for copper
or other mines. |
