Representation to the King from the Treasury Lords concerning
the two papers transmitted by the King's command from Lord
Arlington, containing the accounts of the Earl of Sandwich's
expenses in his late embassy, together with the declaration of
the King's pleasure concerning certain retrenchments of certain
parts thereof. The course of your Majesty's Exchequer will
not bear any allowance of or proceeding upon the said accounts
in regard there is no great seal or privy seal settling the
allowances and measures by which the Auditors or Treasury
Lords, may be justified in passing same or paying any surplusage to said Earl. There is a necessity for a privy seal
before any further proceedings can be had thereupon in the
Exchequer. We therefore lay before your Majesty the
following objections. |
Warrants Early XXXIII.
pp. 92–3. |
|
(1) That the usual method of allowance of extraordinaries to
Ambassadors has been that power has been given in the privy
seal to the Lord Treasurer to pay such extraordinaries as a
Secretary of State should sign, which not being done in this
case, it will require your Majesty's express commands how far
it shall be allowed. |
|
|
(2) We do not remember since our serving in this Commission
that any money has been allowed to Ambassadors for interest
of moneys. Submit the consequences of such a precedent but
cannot deny that the Earl of Sandwich's money was upon
remote assignments. |
|
|
(3) If interest is allowed it ought not to be computed by entire
six months but by quarterly payments as your Majesty is used
to pay Ambassadors when you have ready money. |
|
|
(4) The Earl of Sandwich on search in his steward's books finds
he has omitted to charge himself with 3,800 pieces of eight
received by Capt. Willoughby Hannam which agrees with the
accompt we have from the accompt of the Prizes: which at
4s. 6d. per piece of eight amounts to 855l. The Earl assures
us he has received no more money from any other receipt but
what is on record in the Exchequer. "As to such allowances
for equipage or weekly expense to which your Majesty hath
been pleased, by advice of the Committee for Foreign affairs.
who are most cognizant of those things to signify your pleasure,
or to the allowance of the extraordinaries (of which they are
also the most proper judges) we shall not presume to say anything to your Majesty." |
|
|
Feb. 11 or after. |
Form of warrant for the King's signature, to the following
effect:—The Treasury Lords to Joseph Deane, Alderman
John Benn and the rest of the present Farmers of the
Customs and imported Excise of Ireland and to the Auditor
General of that kingdom. Require said Dean et al. to pay
into the Receipt of the Exchequer in Ireland 15,000l., part of
27,500l. detained by them in their hands on pretence of
defalcations [due to them on their said farm] during the late
war: the said farmers' accounts for said defalcations being
not yet adjusted or cleared, and His Majesty's occasions for
money being very pressing: the said sum to be paid as
follows:—5,000l. on March 1 next. 5,000l. on March 15, and
5,000l. on Mar. 31. The King is willing to respite the remaining 12,500l. (which would make up the half-year's rent of their
farm due Dec. 25 last) until their defalcations can be
ascertained. If it shall appear that the farmers have paid
more into the Exchequer than was due, then 10 per cent.
interest shall be allowed them. |
Warrants Early XXXIII.
pp. 93–4. |
|
"My Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the rest of the Lords of
the Council of Ireland appointed by His Majesty to join with
the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury in the consideration of the revenue of Ireland did together agree upon the
form of this order which was intended at first to be signed by
them but upon further advice with the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland it hath been thought better that His Majesty should
sign such a warrant. Wherefore it is desired that my Lord
Arlington will be pleased to get His Majesty's hand to a
warrant to this effect." |
