Royal sign manual to the Attorney or Solicitor General. We
are minded to preserve the entire government and administration
of the Wine License revenue in our hands together with the
power of constituting Commissioners and Collectors, and the
power of granting licenses and of letting the revenue thereof to
farm ; and to have the said revenue paid into the Receipt :
yet nevertheless to cause all the rents and profits thereof to be
paid out to the use of the Duchess of Cleveland et al. as follows.
You are therefore to prepare a bill to pass the Great Seal
containing a grant to George, Viscount Grandison and Edward
Villiers of the yearly annuity, pension or sum of 5,300l. free
and clear from all charges, fees and deductions whatsoever : to
be charged upon and issuable out of the Wine License revenue
and the King's moiety of forfeitures thereon, to hold to them
and the survivor of them for 99 years if Barbara, Duchess of
Cleveland shall so long live and in trust for her : to be payable
quarterly from June 24 next. If the fund hereby charged
prove insufficient the balance is to be supplied out of the Excise.
After the death of said Duchess, Charles, Earl of Southampton
and his heirs male shall have the like annuity of 5,300l. as
above to be payable half-yearly at the Receipt out of the same
revenue from the first quarter next after her death. Further
to grant to Henry Fitz Roy, Earl of Euston, another of our
natural sons by the said Duchess of Cleveland, one moiety of
all and singular the residue of the rents and profits (of Wine
Licenses and of the King's moiety of forfeitures thereon) not
hereby disposed or granted, and also one moiety of the whole
when the pensions thereon granted shall cease. The other
moiety of the abovesaid revenue and the other moiety of the
whole when the pensions thereon shall cease, are to be
similarly granted to Lord George Fitz Roy sometimes called
the Lord George Palmer, one other of our natural sons by the said
Duchess, and to his heirs male : and if Henry, Earl of Euston
die without heirs male, then the said Lord George and his
heirs male are to enjoy both moieties. And if both die without
heirs male then Charles, Earl of Southampton and his heirs
male are to enjoy the whole, charged nevertheless with a pension
payable to the Trustees of the Duchess of Cleveland if she be
then living. "And for the better securing a certain provision
for the support of them and the heirs of their bodies to whom
any of the residue and surplus of the said revenue is granted,
we intend that the moieties granted to the Earl of Euston and
the Lord George Fitzroy and the respective heirs male of their
bodies so long as the said pensions continue shall, each moiety,
amount to the clear yearly sum of 3,000l., and after the said
pensions determined shall each moiety amount to the clear
yearly sum of 5,650l. per an. And if the said revenue shall
not be sufficient to answer so much yearly or if any quarterly
payment out of the said revenue shall fall short of the quarterly
proportion of the said several and respective yearly sums then
the same shall be made up out of" the Excise of London,
Middlesex, Surrey, Hants, Sussex, Wilts, Dorset, Devon,
Cornwall, Gloucester, Lincoln, Warwick, Leicester, Stafford,
Derby, Worcester, Shropshire and Oxfordshire. And the whole
clear yearly sum shall in like manner be made good to Charles,
Earl of Southampton, and his heirs as soon as the Earl of
Euston and Lord George Fitz Roy shall both be dead without
heirs. Further the said Earl of Euston, Lord George Fitz
Roy and Charles Earl of Southampton during their estates
herein are to have full power to settle any part of the premises
not exceeding a third part of the clear yearly value on any
wife for jointure or thereout to make provision for younger
children by way of declaration. [The concluding portion
of the warrant has been redrafted and altered and was signed
afresh, 1673, June 1 : the final form of it standing as given
above. The alterations consist in the changing of 2,000l. and
4,650l. as in the first draft to 3,000l. and 5,650l. in the second.
[In the margin : "Altered as to the 3,000l. and 5,650l. in His
Majesty's presence. So noted by [Sir] Ro. Howard"] and in
the specifying of the particular counties contingently chargeable
as to their excise.]

Report to the King from Treasurer Clifford (as by the order of
reference of Mar. 10 last) on the petition of Katherine Countess
Dowager of Carnwath, alleging that as administratrix to the
late Earl of Carnwath she is one of the creditors of James
late Earl of Carlisle [who was] compounded with and provided
for by your Majesty by order in Council of 1663, June 13,
[said order] "assigning the satisfaction of those debts on a
second moiety of your Majesty's annual profits of the Caribbee
Islands," her debt now standing reduced to 933l. 6s. 8d., for
which she prays a settlement on the Four and a Half per cent.
duty in the Barbados. "Upon the whole matter I most
humbly represent that your Majesty finding the said revenue
little enough to support the more necessary and public charge
already incumbent thereupon, you have neither by your order
in Council of the 22nd of Dec., 1670, relating to the state of
that your revenue, nor by your Majesty's last instructions to
the Lord Willoughby your present Governor, thought fit as yet
to take notice of any creditors of the above mentioned. Nor am
I able to inform your Majesty how any of their debts can yet
take place [or rank] for satisfaction there, your said revenue
of the Island of Barbados being highly charged and no prospect
possible to be had [as to] when the same may clear itself until
the accounts thereof be stated."

to the Collectors to pay it over to him or his deputies and take
care that it be performed, "and then if the Receiver shall

Treasurer Clifford's warrant to the Remembrancer of First Fruits
and Tenths. The Treasury Lords by their order of 1671, Feb.

prosecution to be had on behalf of His Majesty on the debt of
3,547l. 19s. 10d. set upon William, bishop of Lincoln,
Collector of the Tenths of the Clergy of that Diocese by Robert
Mellish, his sub-collector, upon the accounts of said Tenths
for three whole years ended Xmas, 1669, and that all process
should stay for a year against said Bishop and Henry
Sanderson as the trustee for said Mellish and also against
Robert Sanderson. This year is now expired and an
information of intrusion is now depending against Mr. Thomas,
a member of Parliament, from whom the 2,000l. was and is
owing, which was by said order to be raised out of Flintstone
[Flemingston] and Llanfibangle, co. Glamorgan, of which
manor said Mr. Thomas has the possession and claims the
title. The said prosecution has been carried on as far as
privilege of Parliament would permit, but nothing has been
brought to perfection or recovered thereby. The bond of
2,000l. entered into to the Bishop of Lincoln by said Robert
Sanderson as security for said Mellish is seized into the King's
hands and now remains in the office of the Remembrancer of
First Fruits and Tenths, but no process has yet issued thereupon
in regard the same was stayed by the said former order.
It is necessary that steps be taken to satisfy said debt, and as
the proceedings on the information of intrusion may admit of
much delay you are to forthwith issue process against said
Robert Saunderson on said bond. When the said debt shall
be satisfied and paid, either out of the conveyed premises or
out of the estate of said Robert Saunderson or Robert Mellish
or by any other ways except out of the estate of the Bishop of
Lincoln, then the said conveyed premises [said manor] and
all benefit to be raised thereby shall be granted to said Robert
Saunderson according to said former order. All further proceedings
hereon against the Bishop of Lincoln are hereby
stayed for another year.
