Same to Sir Robt. Viner, Sir Richard Pigott, and the rest of the
late Farmers of the Hearthmoney. We have been applied to
by Thomas Morice, late Sub-Farmer of Hearthmoney for cos.
Herts and Essex, who in his petition sets forth that upon the
contract for the said farm at the rate of 10,000l. per an. he was
much overrated by you, and that by reason he had not His
Majesty's aid (according to covenants with you) for recovering
the duties in arrear by several ways obstructed and at that time
recoverable by law, the time for the recovery of same within
his said farm is now elapsed and all of that money thereby
remaining in a lost condition in the people's hands he is thereby
damnified above 6,000l.: further that he and his sureties are
now prosecuted by you for 3,700l. arrear of his rent of his said
farm, and that as a result his sureties are likely next term to
sue him on his counterbond of 60,000l. and therefore praying
that said arrear of 3,700l. may be allowed [by us] to you
as defalcation and the petitioner fully discharged from any
demands to be made by you [upon him by reason] of the same.
As petitioner appears to have done His Majesty good service,
and as his case therein differs much from that of other farmers
of that revenue. we desire you to stop all prosecution hereon
till your accounts are made up and cleared in other matters of
your farm, at which time we intend more particularly to consider this matter. |

Exchequer, Ireland, and that he has paid the sums of 800l. and

residue of a term" in the said garden, intended by us for a
phisick garden, it was stored with choice and costly fruit trees
as well round the walls as throughout the garden being about
20 acres. But since our being interested therein most of the
said fruit trees against the wall and all those planted abroad in
the garden are out down and destroyed and almost half the
garden made into deep gravel walks whereby the ground is
rendered unfit either for gardening or pasture: so that same
is now reported as worth 20l. or 30l. per an. less than before.

Hoskins assigned to Cogan, and said Cogan again assigned to
His Majesty, contained covenants for the upkeep of the trees

to be likewise made round the same amounts to 480 luggs,
