Same to same. By the letters patent of 1663, Aug. 17, the King
declared his determination of settling 40,000l. per an. in lands
on the Queen Consort, and that "in regard of the length of
the particulars the same could not suddenly be perfected she
should in the meantime receive the said sum of 40,000l. out
of the Receipt." Pursuant hereto the Honor of Grafton and
other rents, lands. &c., to the value of 22,875l. 11s. 03/8d. per
an were settled upon her by letters patent of 1663–4, Jan. 15,
and 1665, June 30. There thus remained a shortage of
17,124l. 8s. 115/8d. per an. Also of the said 22,875l. 11s. 03/8d.
per an. there happened to be defective rents to the yearly value
of 414l. 14s. 8¾d., which ought to be supplied, making a total
shortage of 17,539l. 3s. 8¾d. By the privy seal of 1671,
May 19. the King directed payment of 51,010l. 16s. 11¾d. to
the Queen, being the arrears grown due on this shortage to
1670, Sept. 29. By the letters patent of July 31 last there
have been further settled upon the Queen, lands, &c., to the
value of 6,566l. 4s. 4⅓d. per an., of which she is to
receive the half year's rent grown due at Michaelmas last
There thus remains only a shortage of 10,972l. 19s. 3 1/24d. per
an., and an arrear on the whole from 1670, Michaelmas to
1672, Lady Day, of 31,795l, 5s. 2 1/12d. By reason of the sale
of fee farms under the Act of Parliament it is possible that
there may not be rents left sufficient to complete the said
40,000l. per an. But the King is resolved that the said
shortage be made up and the said arrear paid. You are therefore to prepare a bill to pass the Great Seal for settling the
said 10,972l. 19s. 3 1/24;d. per an. on the Excise granted by the
Act of 12 Car. II. for taking away the Court of Wards and
Liveries, and also (for better security failing this first fund)
upon the Act of 12 Car. II. granting certain impositions upon
beer, ale, &c. The said sum to be paid by the Farmers of said
Excise for the time being; the first quarterly payment to be
made at Xmas next. "And in regard we have in the said last
mentioned sum given recompense for the aforesaid defective
rents amounting to 414l. 14s. 8¾d. per an., you are to take
care that the same be either surrendered or otherwise duly
re-conveyed to us." Lastly, a clause to be inserted authorising
the Treasury Lords to pay 31,975l. 5s. 2 1/12d. to the Queen's
Treasurer or Receiver General for the abovesaid arrears. |
