on Jan. 17 last 1,200l. was owing to said Stede for
two years' pay as Lieut. Governor [of Barbados],
being payable out of the Four and a Half per cent
Duty in said island ; and that said pay is far short
of what he has expended in the support of his
Government [of the island] ; but the island is of
late so impoverished by want of trade and great
impositions [by taxes in England] on their commodities
that they have not been able to assist him
in his great expences as they have formerly done :
that it also cost him 500l. in proclaiming their
Majesties ; that being now to resign the Government
he prays that said arrears may be ordered
out of said revenue as it comes in "to enable him
in some measure to bear the charge of the Government,
which hath been very great." |

Same to the Clerk of the Signet for a privy seal for
stating as follows William Harbord's accounts
from 1689, Mar. 25, to 1690, June 5, as Paymaster
of the Forces in Ireland : all by reason that some
doubts are made whether by the strict rules of the
Exchequer he can be allowed for moneys paid to
some of the said Forces on the authority of warrants
from the late Duke of Schonberg or whether he may
be regularly allowed the payments by him or his
agents made for the subsistence of any of the said
Forces in such time for which their pay was not
fully cleared or discharged according to the establishments
and also whether he can be allowed Exchequer
fees deducted from moneys issued to him. It is
therefore hereby ordered that in his said accounts
he be charged with all issues to him at the Exchequer
and with all moneys paid him by the Paymaster of
the Forces, England, and with all deductions made
by him or his agents from the pay of the said Forces
in Ireland as well for provisions as for the Hospital
pursuant to the royal warrant of 1689, July 23,
and also with all moneys saved or gained by guineas
received in England and paid at a higher rate in
Ireland and with all other his receipts whatsoever
on account of said Forces. Per contra he is hereby
to be allowed all payments made on said account
by royal warrant or by warrant of said Duke of
Schonberg for any of the said Forces or for the
pay of the Forces of Enniskillen and Londonderry
before they were established, or for the pay of the
Regiment of Horse of Sir John Lanier, Col. Heyford's
Regiment of Dragoons and Col. Hasting's Regiment
of Foot (for which no muster rolls are produced)
for the times they served in Scotland, and also
payments on account of provisions, contingencies
or otherwise howsoever. Further, as Harbord has
paid several sums to the Forces in Ireland or intended
for service in Ireland for subsistence or pay since
the times that those musters have been cleared
(whereas it is not usual for the auditors to allow
any payments made on account of pay or subsistence
till the musters have been cleared) it is hereby
ordered that the original acquittances of the officers
or regimental agents (together with copies of them
entered in a book) be delivered to the auditors
and after perusal thereof the said original acquittances
be delivered to the succeeding Paymasters of the
Forces in Ireland in order to their adjusting accounts
with said officers and agents and that what shall
be thereon allowed to said Harbord in his account
as for pay and subsistence shall be charged upon
said succeeding Paymasters' account and they
to have allowance of the full pay upon clearing
the musters from the time of the [last preceding]
clearance of the musters by Harbord. "And in
case the payments they shall make shall not be for
clearings but that they shall go on to pay subsistence
only, in such case that [then] the acquittances before
proposed to be charged upon them, or so many
thereof as they shall deliver up again, ought [and
hereby are] to be allowed upon their account."
Further, as Harbord or his deputies or agents have
paid several sums to be laid out in provisions or
necessaries for said Forces the said several persons are
hereby to be duly set in super for same in order
that the King may have just accounts thereof in the
Exchequer of the said moneys and of the several
species of provisions and necessaries and the prices
thereof and to whom delivered and how disposed
and what remains. All deductions made for the
said provisions are to be charged on Harbord for
his time and on the subsequent Paymasters for
their time that so the King may have a complete
account of the whole transaction and be repaid
so much at least of the money so disbursed as
the provisions and necessaries shall amount to at the
rates set upon them by the general officers of the
Army, usual and accidental waste and damages
excepted. Further, hereby Harbord is to be
allowed Exchequer fees and charges paid by him
[on his receipt of moneys out of the Exchequer]. |

said Branch, out of the Exchequer, of the yearly
sum of 50l. for providing hay for the deer and for
increase of the keepers' wages and for 112l. 10s. 0d.
for 2¼ years' arrears thereon from 1688, Lady day,
to 1690, June 24 : the King being pleased to continue
said Branch in said office and also that all his
said arrears as above be paid. |
Ibid, pp. 126-8. |
|
Royal warrant to the Clerk of the Signet for a privy
seal for payment to John, Earl of Bath, Chief
Ranger or Keeper of St. James's Park, of 120l.
to be distributed to the two underkeepers for
two years' arrears to 1690, June 24, on the yearly
allowance of 60l. as granted by the privy seal
of 1687-8, Jan. 31, for said underkeepers' wages :
which yearly sum is hereby to be continued.
Further, hereby said keeper is to be paid all charges,
services and disbursements for keeping the decoys
and fish ponds and for feeding, breeding and preserving
all wild fowl in said park under the charge
or custody of John Webb, keeper of the fowl there,
or any his successors ; and also the charges of
materials, labourers, workmen, artificers and
gardeners employed in any works or repairs in
said park ; the bills thereof to be examined and
allowed by the supervisor of said park when there
is one appointed, but if there be none, then by
Philip Ryley, Surveyor General of Woods, Trent
South, or by such other as the Treasury Lords
shall direct ; and likewise all moneys laid out and
expended for hay and fodder for the deer in said
park : all said sums to be received by said keeper
without imprest or account : all mainly on the
lines of the said privy seal of 1687-8, Jan. 31. |
King's Warrant Book XV,
pp. 128-31. |
|
Same to same for a same to ratify and confirm the
grant to William, Bishop of St. Asaph, the King's
Almoner, of the forfeited recognizances which were
granted to him by the privy seal of 1689-90, Feb. 22,
supra, p. 497, together with all estates which may
be extended thereunder ; to enjoy same as royal
bounty as amply as is in the King's power to grant,
but to such uses as the goods and chattels of felons
are granted to said Almoner : and with authority
to sue and recover and levy etc. the premises.
The present confirmation is by reason that doubt
has arisen that the Treasury, Exchequer Court
and Attorney General may by virtue of a general
authority compound the said forfeited recognizances,
which would utterly frustrate the King's intended
bounty as above. The said power of compounding
and annulling is hereby revoked so far forth as may
concern the recognizances herein granted. |

Entry of the [Treasury Lords'] orders, rules and
instructions to be observed by the Remembrancer
of First Fruits, the Comptroller thereof and the
auditors and all others concerned in the revenue
of First Fruits and Tenths. [1] The Remembrancer
not to make any composition but with the consent
of the Comptroller ; and both to sign the composition :
and the Comptroller to have free access to
the surveys of ecclesiastical benefices and other
books of said revenue of First Fruits and Tenths.
[2] If any incumbent be willing to pay down in
ready money at the time of composition or similarly
to pay off their bonds already entered into, no fee
whatsoever is to be demanded of him. [3] A [state
of the] remain of bonds is to be annually taken
by the Remembrancer and Comptroller and the
Comptroller to have the power of retrospecting
to examine whether the Remembrancer and other
officers have faithfully executed their trusts and
thereupon to make representations to us [the
Treasury Lords]. [4] The bonds so remaining
and all others that shall be taken hereafter are to
be immediately numbered and locked up with two
distinct locks, one key thereof to be kept by the
Remembrancer, the other by the Comptroller.
[5] The Comptroller not to deliver out any bond
without production of an acquittance from the
Receiver of due payment made on such bond.
[6] No process to issue out of the Remembrancer's
Office but what shall be signed by the Remembrancer
and Comptroller. [7] Forthwith upon receipt of
any returns, from the Bishop, of institutions and
inductions, the Remembrancer is to communicate
them to the Comptroller, who is to enter them in
books for that purpose. [8] The Comptroller to
keep exact and fair entries of all matters relating to
said revenue, which may be a perfect comptroll
upon the Remembrancer's accounts ; and the
Remembrancer and Receivers are to submit to the
keeping of such comptrol. [9] The Comptroller is
from time to time to sign and attest the Remembrancer's
account of compositions before it be
received by the auditors. [10] The Comptroller and
the Receivers are quarterly to compare their books
of receipts to see whether more money hath not
been answered to the King than acquittances have
been produced to the Comptroller ; that so process
may not issue to the harassing the subject when
there only wants the formality of taking up the
bond. [11] That as soon as the states of rectories,
vicarages etc. are made out by the Remembrancer
they be forthwith transmitted to the Comptroller,
that so he may speak with the parties to know if
they will pay down their First Fruits and to see
that too much time be not given to such as shall
not pay down. [12] The books of values in the
Remembrancer's Office are to be compared with
the auditors' [books] in order to adjusting one
with the other. [13] The auditors are to receive
no constats but what shall be signed by the Remembrancer
and the Comptroller. [14] These instructions
to be set up in the Office as also a Table of
the Ancient Fees so that all concerned may know.
[14] No fee to be demanded on account of process
but when 'tis actually issued. [15] In case the
Bishops do not make their returns duly the Remembrancer
and Comptroller are to quicken them.
[15] A convenient time to be allowed the Comptroller
for examining all such process as shall issue : and
the returns thereof are to be communicated to the
