Date.	Nature and Substance of the Entry.				Reference.

May 1.	Money warrant for 120l. to John Prideaux for one year on his allowance as one of the King's Pages of Honour. (The usual letters dated May 2 hereon to the Customs and the Receipt : to be brought in with respect, etc.)				Money Book (General) p. 61. Out Letters (General) p. 78.
	Cave that no life be added or any alteration made in the lease of Welton farm, parcel of the manor of Midsomer Norton, co. Somerset, till notice be given to Mr. Mog, the late tenant : such notice to be left with Mr. Heath at his house near the Crown Tavern, in Bloomsbury, or with Mr. John Ward (who enters this caveat) at his house in Henrietta Street, Covent Garden. Mr. John Tooker is the person suspected to sue for a new lease. Mr. Tooker also desires that nothing may be done in the premises to his prejudice (having already got Sir Charles Harbord's report [as Surveyor General of Crown lands, viz., to Treasurer Danby on his, Tooker's, petition for said premises]) till notice be given to Mr. Anthony Trethewy at his house in Portugal Row, in Lincolns Inn Fields or to himself at Norton Hall, near Bath.

	Treasurer Danby to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. You will receive the King's letter countersigned by the Secretary of State directing the payment of the 4,000l. yet due for the Customs of Londonderry [same being to be paid] out of the surplusage of the rent payable by the present Farmers of the Revenue of Ireland for the first year of their farm, viz., to Christmas last ; which [surplus] will remain after the establishment [military and civil] there, and the interest allowed for their [the said Farmers'] advance [money] are paid off and after the paying and returning over hither [to London] to my brother [in law] Bertie for the further carrying on the buildings at Windsor of the sum directed by the royal warrant of April 16 last. That there will be then enough left of the said year's rent of 240,000l. to satisfy this Londonderry debt I conclude because all the payments which I can find have been directed to be paid out of it, make up together only 234,567l. 2s. 9d. as follows :				Warrants not Relating to Money VII. p. 53.
