Which course being now pursued we shall pray you as an evidence of your good affeccon to his Majesties service ... that yow will not in any respect be byast in your recomendacons of any person or persons to be farmers but make a returne of such as in your judgment are not onely responsive but will exactly performe and make good the rate which wee have moderated and made soe lowe that wee have onely sett on your county the summe of _, although wee have higher offers if wee would treat with any before we receave your resolucon." As to the rumours of abuses and deceits in the present Sub-Commissioners the King, as appears from his letter, has enabled divers persons that desired it to examine the former accounts before the year 1660. And when the present Sub-Commissioners have furnished their accounts he will do the like by them "if you in your judgment advise it or any other persons offer ground and reasons for it. And in the meane time his Majesty expects from yow that you give all assistance to his officers in the present management of this revenue." |

Followed by:—Copy of the King's letter (undated) to Treasurer Southampton and Lord Ashley] touching farming the Excise. An imposition of Excise was set under the late usurpers. At the Restoration the Parliament voted one moiety of this in lieu of the feudal rights of the Crown and the other half for an increase of the royal revenue, valuing the whole at 300,000l. per an. upon consideration that the whole was let to farm by the late usurpers for much more; and yielded above that sum besides the profit to the farmers. Not only, however, is there
a failure in the due payment of that proportion but also many complaints made against the Sub-Commissioners. Are of opinion, therefore, that the said proportion as valued by Parliament may be better raised by way of farm. Therefore direct that the same be let to farm to such persons as the Justices of Peace should recommend under their hands and seals from the next Quarter Sessions. Such persons are to treat with the Lord Treasurer before August 10 next for a three years' farm from Sept. 29 next. Failing such return from the Justices then the Lord Treasurer is to proceed to let the farm to the best advantage of the King's revenue: provided that the proposed farmer shall from time to time advance a quarter's pay beforehand. The proposed rates of farm do not amount to above 280,000l. in the whole, being 200,000l. less than the same was valued at for the Crown. "Yet being desirous that it may be managed with the greatest ease to our people wee are contented to admitt, for the aforesaid terme, of soe great an abatement." |
