contrary to His Majesty's proclamation of the 10th of May, 1665,
and other His Majesty's letters to the Senate to that effect. Mr.
Offley says in behalf of Mr. Otto that an alien by law may trade in

the Company will be good also, which they have taken time till

Present : Lord Treasurer, Sir John Duncomb.
Mr. Doyley's petition is read for the grant of the office of
Engineer of the Mint. Mr. Slingesby's paper of objections is read
against passing this grant for the petitioner : said paper consisting
of six articles. Mr. Solicitor Jones (Counsel for petitioner) is of
opinion that such a grant is no intrenchment upon the Master of
the Mint and that Mr. Doyley is ready to give security for the due
execution thereof. Mr. Slingesby says that this grant [office] of
Engineer to the Mint was erected upon a necessity, Mr. Blondeau
refusing to make a discovery of his new invention without it. Mr.
Solicitor Jones observes against Mr. Slingesby that by the patent
this office is created for ever and infers from thence that there must
be such an officer. Mr. Slingesby affirms that after Mr. Blondeau's
term of 21 years the King hath in his patent granted him the 18d.
on the silver and 7s. on the gold, and [he] reads the clause. The
Lord Treasurer reduces it to this question, whether His Majesty
could grant the profits contained in Blondeau's patent to any other
after the expiration of the said Blondeau's term. Mr. Slingesby to
satisfy the Lord Treasurer in this matter on Wednesday next.
Mr. Allin called in touching the comptrol upon the Law Duty.
Mr. Pocock comes in likewise to shew what counties were farmed out
by the Farmers [of said duty]. The Farmers have paid 17,000l. to
the King out of 24,000l. received by them for the year 1673. The
Lord Treasurer directs the Farmers to bring in an accompt of what
they have made of their farm and to attend on Wednesday next.
([Postea] : Since : ordered not to attend.) The Farmers to bring their
accompt to the Auditor and to produce their vouchers before him.
Write to Sir Robert Howard to pay the arrears of the chimney
money to the Privy Purse excepting 1,500l. ordered out of Oakes'

Sir Rob. Howard to pay Sir Stephen Fox 8,700l. for Secret
Service.
The same day a paper from the Commissioners of the Customs
was sent in the words following : viz. whereas goods are rated in the
Book of Rates and it is [or may be as cases arise of seizure of this or
that particular parcel of goods] the Lord Treasurer's intention to mitigate
the rate and collect the duty in proportion to the value of the
goods it is necessary [wherever such ad valorem rate is to be allowed
by the Lord Treasurer] that the order to the Commissioners be in
these words or to the like effect"that you cause the said goods to
be delivered upon payment of Custom according to the value thereof,
notwithstanding the same are rated in the Book of Rates." Where
it is the Lord Treasurer's pleasure wholly to dispense with the
Customs [the order should run] "that you cause the said goods to
be delivered Custom free." But where it is not the Lord Treasurer's
intention to dispense with the Custom or mitigate the rate it is
sufficient to say "that you cause the said goods to be delivered
upon payment of Custom according to law." Because the law has
already provided that such goods as are not rated shall pay according
to value. And it is to be noted that although diverse commodities
are prohibited yet for the most part they are rated by the Book of
Rates.
