like yearly rent : and with a release and discharge
to him of the increased or improved rent of
31l. 13s. 4d., parcel of the rent of 45l., reserved

is to be inserted in the lease now to be granted
to empower his Lordship to build and erect houses
upon such part of the ground and soil of the said

Same for declaring and proceeding to the passing and
finishing the Hearthmoney account of Oliver Sawle
(Swale) (sheriff for Cornwall and Receiver of
Hearthmoney for said county for one year ended
1663, Mich.) viz., for the said year : it appearing
from the account thereof as made up by Auditor
Antho. Parsons, that the whole charge amounts
to 3,208l. 2s. 0d., whereof there is allowed to him
73l. 19s. 11d. for salaries to himself and others
and 2,463l. 12s. 1d. for money paid into the Receipt
whilst the following sums are set in super, viz.,
560l. 13s. 0d. upon divers constables in said county
for several sums of [Hearth] money by them received
within the time of said accompt., and unpaid to
the accomptant (as appears by the oath of Francis
Sawle, deputy to said accomptant) : 26l. 1s. 0d.
and 83l. 16s. 0d., set upon divers other persons
for sums of money behind and unpaid to said
accomptant : said supers amounting to 670l. 10s. 0d.
and so balance said account, "but by reason that the
schedules of arrears belonging to the said account
(which were formerly left with Mr. Pollard, late
deputy auditor for said county, for passing the
account) cannot be found, the said supers, as
aforesaid, are charged only in general sums on
high constables, petty constables and several other
persons, without mentioning them in particular
and therefore said account cannot regularly be
declared without special warrant." On the
petition of the executors of said Oliver Sawle
(who is dead) and the barons of the Exchequer
having recommended it as a matter for the King's
grace and favour it is hereby provided that said supers
be set in said account in a general manner, as aforesaid,
and said accounts to be declared and finished
as if such supers were duly and regularly set upon
particular persons. (Royal warrant dated July 12
for said privy seal. Treasurer Danby's subscription

Same from same to the Surveyor General of Crown
Lands for a particular and ratal of the coal works in
Plummers Close and Perthill, in the manor of
Stratton super Fosse, co. Somerset, with a view
to a lease thereof for three lives to the petitioner
[? petitioners] as below for three lives at 20s. per an.
rent upon surrender of his present estate by copy
of Court roll : to be without fine in consideration
of such surrender and of petitioners' service in
reviving the said rent of 20s. per an. to the Crown.
Prefixing : said Surveyor General's report dated
June 28 on the petition from John Tooker and
John Salmon for such lease. Sir John Duncombe
formerly granted said coalworks to said Tooker
by copy of Court Roll for three lives at 20s. per an.
rent, "and that having seen Mr. Attorney General's
opinion upon a case made by Mr. Long touching
the said coal mines, he [said Surveyor General]
conceives that in case the same were well granted
by copy according to the custom of the manor, if
a lease were afterwards granted by a right owner
of the manor and enjoyed for any considerable
time the custom would be thereby destroyed, and
cannot be legally revived. But it not appearing
that any such lease had been granted, I [said
Surveyor General] thought the customary estate
was not lost, and that a new admittance of the said
Mr. Tooker would be good, but if there were no
such custom, then a grant thereof by copy would
be of no effect. And Mr. Long (from whose
ancestors the said manor was recovered by Prince
Henry as parcel of the Duchy of Cornwall)
pretending that there was no such custom as to
the said coal mines in Plummers Close and Perthill,
I have, upon your Lordship's warrant, made him
a constat (the auditor having no record to ground
a particular upon) for a lease thereof to be
granted to him, if your Lordship shall think fit,
for the same three lives by which he holds by copy
of Court Roll [viz., of] the tenement called Vaggs
(whereof the said Plummers Close is parcel) at
the rent of 20s. per an. Now these petitioners
[Tooker and Salmon] having possessed themselves
by virtue of the said admittance granted by Sir John
Duncomb's warrant of the said coal mines in both
the said places called Plummers Close and Perthill
and paid the said rent of 20s. per an. for three
years past and been at great charges in opening
and clearing the coalworks there, do humbly desire
to have a lease to strengthen their interest, in case
the said admittance should prove defective. I
do conceive that if the said customory estate be in
force, then they may by virtue thereof legally
open the said coal mines, and make benefit of the
same, giving the tenants reasonable satisfaction
for the damage they sustain there, but if there
be no such custom in force, then I think a lessee
cannot enter upon any of the tenants' land other
than his own, without their consent, which is as
much as I can say in this case."

Works. "And whereas I being willing to be satisfied
by whom the said wall ought to be repaired, did desire
his Majesty's Attorney General to examine what
records or other matter the said Dean and Canons
could produce for their discharge herein." Upon a
view of several proceedings in 1606 he has reported
that the wall is to be repaired by his Majesty
and the said Dean and Canons are to have in the
wall so to be repaired such lights for easiments
of their houses as antiently they had, which lights
are to be by them maintained. You are therefore
to repair said wall.
