upon the debtors or fee farmers, for recovery whereof direction

out by the respective auditors, and for that they upon subsequent
declarations do still certify the same supers with this [addition]
that they are scheduled forth to the King's Remembrancer for

directed that especial care be taken that all sheriffs in these
cases be striotly apposed upon their process before the Barons
of the Exchequer, that where the charge is good the money
may be levied or the debtor's lands seized: and where the
charge is short or uncertain it may be amended by the Auditor
as is warrantable from the record. And it is further directed
that where a rent is charged to be in arrear for eight years
last past or since the general pardon that then the Auditor
do certify by way of memorandum when, in time before, such

Report to the King from the Treasury Lords concerning the case
of Sir Thomas Strickland, Farmer of the duty on Scotch and
foreign salt for 21 years at 1,800l. per an., who by order of
Council of March 5 last is admitted an accomptant for the
said duties for the year 1667, Sept. 29, to 1668, Sept. 29. His
accompts, as stated, shew receipts of 1,869l. 11s. 3¼d. for that
year. But for the same period the Customs officers of London
port charge him to have received 27l. 12s. 0d. for the old
farm and 1,341l. 13s. 11d. for the new farm and similarly the
Surveyor of the Customs in the outports charges him to have
received 1,021l. 16s. 7d. within the same time, making 2,391l.
2s. 6d. in all, which is a matter of 529l. 11s. 2¾d. more than
said accomptant charges himself with. In reply hereto
Strickland says that the 27l. 12s. 0d. of the old farm was due
to old farmers of said duty and that he paid it to Sir Ralph
Delaval et al., said old Farmers. For the rest he says that
he had the King's directions to receive only 8s. 4d. a wey of
Scotch salt until further order and to take bond for the
remainder of the duty, and that betwixt 1667, Sept. 29, and
1608, April 29 he accordingly only received 8s. 4d. a wey for
975 weys and for the remainder took bond in 500l. of
one James Cockburne. Strickland complains that as the trade
stands at present between the two kingdoms this duty will not
bear 1,800l. rent. But one Nathan Eldred. on behalf of the
salt manufacturers of Shields and other parts of England
has proffered, if the present farmer shall refuse to collect
the duty laid by Act of Parliament on Scotch salt and to
hold his patent on the present terms, that they will give good
security for 1,800l. a year rent for that duty without defalcations. Strickland offered said Eldred a lease at that price
for seven years, but Eldred refused it. |
