Same to same. Gomes Roderigo, merchant, did lately order his
correspondent in Gallipoli to ship for England 300 tuns of oil
with other goods in the first ship procurable; which said agent
accordingly did ship on board a foreign vessel called the
"Jerusalem" of Leghorn. Doubt is raised whether such
importation is contrary to the Navigation Act. notwithstanding
the King's Declaration of May 11 [sic for May 10] last. As
we are fully satisfied that it is His Majesty's pleasure that the
said Navigation Act in point of foreign bottoms importing
goods and merchandises from foreign parts be wholly dispensed
withall, you are to permit the importation of the above, taking
only such duties for same as are directed by said declaration. |

Report to the King from the Treasury Lords and the Earl of
Bridgewater concerning the case between the Earl of
Clancarty and the freeholders of Muskerry. The said Earl
offered certain proposals as a ground for accommodation; which
proposals were referred to three persons nominated on each
side, viz. Sir Robert Murrey, Sir James Shaen and Sir John
Brodericke for the Earl of Clancarty, and Richard Lord Le
Power, Father Patrick and Cornelius Leavy for the freeholders.
They have not agreed hereon and many disputes have arisen
hereon about the valuation and quantities of lands, as to which
no knowledge or certainty appears to us. Therefore think the
whole case should be referred to the Lord Lieutenant and
Council of Ireland. |

The Treasury Lords to the Commissioners of Assessments for
co. Norfolk. In yours of the 23rd ult. you agree with our
construction of the Act of Parliament as to the point of reassessing. The arguments you use why we should not proceed in
that way for bringing in the arrears we have considered and
are very willing so far to comply with them as may consist
with our duty to the King's service. The case stands thus.
Several persons who lent money to His Majesty and otherwise
accommodated his urgent occasions have their [re]payment
assigned upon those assessments. Consequently the moneys
are theirs and not His Majesty's, and His Majesty's honour is
concerned for their satisfaction. They are not sparing of
applying to His Majesty and importuning his ministers to cause
the laws to be put in execution. We therefore cannot quit
expectation of the moneys. Nevertheless we are willing to
proceed with as much tenderness towards the country as the
case will admit, and with all due respects to yourselves as
persons of great worth and merit in His Majesty's service.
We shall therefore give order that no process at present shall
be issued. But you are to take some course that the moneys
be raised and paid into the Exchequer some time in Michaelmas
term next. |

same by way of traffic only, and not for safeguard and

The Treasury Lords to the Trustees for sale of Fee Farms. We
have had some doubt and dissatisfaction concerning the
purchasing of fee farm and other rents in the proceeding of
which the ways and methods have not appeared to us so clear
but that His Majesty may possibly be prejudiced. For preventing any further error or frauds we require you to observe
the following directions in relation to all contracts for said
fee farm and other rents for which conveyances are not yet
passed. (1) Auditor Phillips is to affix to every contract that
has or shall be passed and is still unconveyed, the rates of the
said contract with his name subscribed and from time to time to
deliver to you the said Trustees a copy of the total of such rates
so affixed by him. And you the said Trustees are to examine and
compare the said rate or rates with the contract or contracts
to which they shall be affixed to the end they may from time
to time know how all contracts do agree with the rates and
purchase money and in order further that in the case of the
contracts passed by Lord St. John and his partners [in the
late intended farm of the Customs] it may likewise appear to
you that the said contracts do not exceed 157,004l. 7s. 0d. and
30,000l. with such allowance as are usual in purchases of such
nature. (2) The said rates so compared and examined with
the contracts to which they are affixed you are to certify to us
the Treasury Lords upon the several contracts under two or
more of your hands and that they agree and are true. And
you are to take care that no contracts be hereafter presented to
us but with the rate so affixed and examined and certified
as above. (3) Further you are to take care that all tallies
produced to you may agree and be fitly applied to the several
contracts before any conveyance pass. |

The Treasury Lords to the Customs Commissioners. William
Blackett has petitioned the King setting forth that contrary to
the king's declaration of May 10 last the Customs officers of
Newcastle port have demanded and taken from him and others
[aliens'] duty on coals exported in foreign vessels as by the
Book of Rates, and praying that only natives' duty may be
charged for same. By order in Council of June 21 last the
King ordered that petitioner should be relieved. You are to
see this carried out and that the Customs officers of Newcastle
demand no more than such natives' duty notwithstanding the
Book of Rates and the Act of tunnage and poundage: and that
anything taken in excess hereof since May 10 last be repaid to
petitioner. |

The Treasury Lords to the Justices of Peace of co. Notts. The
Excise Farmers for your county have complained of an order by
you made at your Sessions, directing every gauger immediately
upon the making of his gauge at every alehousekeeper's house,
to leave a copy of his or their gauge of every respective
brewing with such alehousekeeper, or in default thereof you
direct that no warrant be granted for distress upon judgment
passed againt such alehousekeeper for any offence against the
laws of excise. On consideration hereof we find that such order
made by you is against the letter of the law of excise, for the
Act directs the copy of the gauge to be delivered after the entry
made by the alehousekeeper. We cannot but believe that you
will be sensible of this proceeding to be of a dangerous nature
to the revenue of excise. We give you notice hereof before
representing the same to the King in Council. These are
therefore to direct you at the next Sessions of the Peace held
for your county to make void the said order, and to leave the
management of the revenue of excise to such methods as the
law directs. |

Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the petition of
Vincent De la Barr, Thomas Delavall, Walter Pinchon, and
John Bankes, of London, merchants, paying relief and
reparation for the loss and seizure of their ship "St. John,"
by the Dutch in the year 1658. We find that said ship
"St. John," 260 tons burden, Cornelius Rocheen, master, was
on a trading voyage in Genoa in 1658, and was seized on the
coast of Collubron [? Calabria or Formentera] by a Dutch ship
called the "Northern Lyon," the loss and damage of which
ship and her lading amount to 15,000l., the interest whereon at
6 per cent. from 1658 amounts to 12,600l. for which they could
never receive satisfaction, though demanded by Sir George
Downing, His Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary to the States of
the United Provinces. In all treaties and revolutions of times
[past] the damages of this kind were more particularly insisted
on for satisfaction: and by the Treaty at Breda in 1667, all
reparations are extinguished and out off; yet since that time
the States of the United Provinces of the Netherlands have not
only been refractory in the performance of any agreements
concluded on, but also have committed many violences whereby
they have wholly cancelled the obligation of all past treaties
and left your Majesty and subjects as free in all justice and
equity as if they had never been made. It is therefore our
opinion that it is but just and seasonable for your Majesty to
insist on reparations for your said injured subjects. |

The Treasury Lords to the Commissioners of Aids and Assessments for Oswaldslow Hundred, co. Worcester. We have
lately received a letter from Col. Sandys in answer to ours of
1671, July 31. about a great arrear of 2,147l. 3s. 0d set in
super by Robert Foley, Receiver of Aids and Eleven Months'
Assessment [for said county] upon Rich. Hodgkins, deceased,
late head collector of the Hundred of Oswaldslow, wherein
said Sandys has given an account of his own and Mr. Street's
endeavours to get in those arrears and particularly in finding
out some money remaining in the sub-collectors' hands which
cannot be put into a regular way of payment to His Majesty
till a head collector be appointed in place of said Hodgkins to
receive same from the sub-collectors and to clear and discharge
said super in the Exchequer as it is set on said Hodgkins.
Now in regard the Act of Parliament gives you, the Commissioners, full and absolute power of choosing head collectors,
we desire you to choose some fit person for this who may pay
said moneys into the Exchequer and levy a tally whereon is
to be mentioned that the money so paid is towards discharge
of the super set upon said Hodgkins. On your good report
we will give him suitable recompense. |
Ibid. |

Same to the Commissioners of Aids for the city of Chester,
concerning the 628l. 0s. 9d. arrears of the Royal and Additional
Aids set in super by the Receiver General thereof upon the
city of Chester. We are informed that 400l. thereof is
deposited in the hands of Mr. Hall but cannot be placed to
the King's account nor the city discharged till the remainder
be paid, "which we are informed had before this time been
done had it not been for the refusal of the persons named on
the other side of the leaf [names wanting] proceeding from a
mistake or (which is worse) obstinacy." The pretence for their
refusal is it seems that the powers of the Commissioners to
levy are expired and therefore they threaten to bring
actions against the persons that shall distrain. In the
case of a far greater super standing out on the county
of Suffolk, it has been lately adjudged in the Exchequer
Court that the power of the Commissioners is in force so long
as any part of the assessment remains unanswered to the King,
and accordingly the Commissioners in that county proceed for
the bringing in of that arrear. If this instance will not satisfy
you we must desire you to proceed to levy, for neither the
groundless scruples nor humours of any men are to be
admitted to defeat His Majesty of his dues. Upon perusal of
the names of the refusers we observe most of them not to be
persons of the meanest quality, who if they shall persist in
giving the rest so ill an example there will be notice taken of it.
If process is issued they will find little satisfaction to themselves, nor will their imitators. |

Plantation commodities contrary to the Acts of 22 and 23
Car. II. for regulation of the Plantation Trade, to His
Majesty's loss in his Customs in England and to the manifest
decay of the trade of this realm. You are to enquire what
ships and to what place belonging have so landed goods and at
what time since Michaelmas last: what goods have been so
landed and what duties paid, and to make a return to the
Treasury of the names and masters of such ships, and whether
or no they went from any port of England to the Plantations,
and from what port, and whether they have given bond in such
port of departure, or have departed from any other foreign
port not allowed by law. To this end you are to inspect the
books of the Customs in all the ports of England as well of the
patent officers as of the Farmers. You are to make a return
to the Treasury that so not only these evils may be prevented
for the future, but that the Farmers of the Customs of Ireland
may make satisfaction to His Majesty for so much of the duty
upon Plantation commodities as they have unduly received. |
