ought to be done: therefore in future no trees shall be felled
in New Forest but shall be first marked out by the woodward

The Treasury Lords to Lord Arlington. We have your letter
signifying that the King has had some complaints made to him
of the want and unfitness of Commissioners for putting in
execution the Act for the Subsidy in some counties. Please
represent to the King that he having resolved to have a great
number of Commissioners in each county we did take the best
care we could to informe ourselves what persons might be fit
to be employed, and to that end did inspect the late Act for the
assessments [the Royal aid] and took advice from several members of the House of Commons and otherwise as we could, and
that it cannot be much wondered at if among such number of
names some mistakes and omissions should happen. Where
application has been made to us in such case we have issued
supplementary commissions and should have done the like in
these cases complained of to His Majesty if the persons who
had made the complaint had done us that just right to have
applied to us. And since they have been pleased to waive that
way of proceeding we are inclined to believe that there is not
so much cause of complaint as is made. We remain yet in the
dark not knowing the particulars of the case and can do nothing
therein till they be made known to us. |
