mayor and free burgesses by their humble petition to us [the
King] set forth that although they conceived they had a good
right to the said passage by prescription and by their charter
yet they thought it not suitable to their duty to dispute their
said right with us or our said leasee; and thereupon in regard
they had always employed the profits of the said passage for
maintenance of a minister and schoolmaster and relief of
the poor, who without the same cannot be supported or
relieved they humbly besought us to recommend them to the
said Henry Seymour to be kindly used by him as to the past
profits of the said passage since his lease commenced, and to
enjoin him to surrender his interest in the said passage to us,
and that we would thereupon grant them a new lease thereof."

gratify said request and said Seymour having submitted to our
pleasure herein. Together with a discharge to said Seymour
and said Mayor of the abovesaid increased rent of 15l. reserved

Sir Robert Howard to Mr. Perwich. Yours of the 12th to hand
by which I perceive that Mr. Thyn was come into England
before mine [of the 3rd inst.] reached you. The commission
cannot now be altered but must be executed at the time and
place fixed. You are therefore to proceed in it, with this
additional instruction that if Anthony Power shall be produced
and examined on the defendants' behalf and afterwards refuse
to be examined on the King's behalf, or if the other Commissioners shall refuse to join with you in the examination of
him and adjourne or dissolve the commission by going from
you on purpose to prevent his examination on His Majesty's
behalf then you are to take particular notice of their carriage
and behaviour and certify it to the Exchequer, who (though
those persons are not in their power to punish being in another
kingdom) will doubtless upon such certificate suppress the
depositions of that witness that shall be taken on the
defendant's behalf. But I hope there will be no cause of such
certificate and that the other Commissioners will do no unjust
or unhandsome action because I hear a good character of them,
more particularly of Monsieur Wildegoose, insomuch that if
the defendants had not nominated him he would have been
one of the four persons nominated on the King's behalf for
this very business, "and if they should be persuaded by the
defendants or any of their agents to incline to any such
unhandsome action you may please to make them sensible that
though they are nominated by the defendants and you in
the behalf of the King yet no notice is taken of that in the
commission and you are all obliged in honour to do that which
is equal and just between both parties." |
