Entry [made ? date 1677-8, Feb. 27] of an order issued
this day in the Exchequer Court as follows.
Whereas upon Wednesday, 1666, July 4, it was
ordered by the Exchequer Court with the advice of
the King's Counsel learned in the law (amongst
other things) that every sheriff respectively should
have an allowance of 12d. for every 20s. that he shall
levy for and answer and pay to the king within 14
days after the day of return of the respective processes
(amongst other things) upon seizures of land
made or to be made for the king's debts or duties
and written out to him to be levied out of either of
the Remembrancers' offices of the Exchequer :
now the Earl of Danby Lord Treasurer, Sir John
Ernle Chancellor of the Exchequer, William
Montague Lord Chief Baron, and the other Barons of
the Exchequer have taken into consideration that by
said order said allowance is given to the sheriffs
who levy money of the rents, issues and profits of
lands seized for the king's debts or duties and no
allowance is made by the said order or otherwise to
the sheriffs who make such seizures either for their
own pains or for the jury or for evidence or for
other charges in and about the same ; and the year
of the said sheriffs who make such seizures being
usually expired before any money can be levied of
the rents, issues and profits of such lands, by that
means those sheriffs who are at the charge and
trouble of making such seizures have no profit
thereby or reward for the same ; which is found
to be a great discouragement to the sheriffs to make
any seizures of lands for his Majesty's debts or
duties. For remedy hereof it is this day ordered
that out of the abovesaid allowance of 12d. per 20s.
the sum of 8d. shall be allowed out of the money
levied by any sheriff subsequent to the said seizure
([such levied money being] of the first year's rents,
issues and profits of the said lands) to the sheriff
who made the said seizure for his pains and charges
in making the same and the remaining 4d. shall be
allowed to the sheriff who shall levy the money upon
the said seizure ; and afterwards during the continuance
of the said extent and seizure, there shall,
out of the said 12d., be allowed 4d. to the sheriff who
made the seizure and 8d. to the sheriff who shall levy
the money upon such seizure. The tenor of this order
is to be sent to the respective sheriffs of England and
Wales along with the process that shall issue out of
the Exchequer Court at the end of the next term for
the levying and recovering the king's debts.

Report to the King from Treasurer Danby on the
Duke of Ormonde's report as Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, dated 1677, Dec. 18, upon the petition of
James Duke of Monmouth. The said petition set
forth that the King has granted to petitioner
1,666l. 13s. 4d. [per an. for the period as below] out
of the 27,000l. [per an.] reserved by the king upon
the present establishment of Ireland and therefore
desired that the draft letter [for a patent of such
grant] may be referred to the Lord Lieutenant in
order to its passing the great seal of Ireland. The
said petition being referred Dec. 1 last to the Lord
Lieutenant he thereupon reported Dec. 18 last.
The computation which is the ground of the petition
is rightly made ; and there will be paid to the Earl
of Ossory and Earl of Feversham out of the said
27,000l. per an. so reserved as above the sum of
1,666l. 13s. 4d. less during the last three years of
their respective grants than during the first three
years thereof ; by means whereof the said
1,666l. 13s. 4d. per an. will be within your Majesty's
disposal from 1679, Dec. 25, to 1682, Dec. 25, being
full 3 years and may be granted by your Majesty
without disappointment [of anybody] or disturbing
any of the uses to which the remainder of the said
27,000l. has been ordered at present. Said report
being referred Jan. 1 inst. to Treasurer Danby, the
latter hereby reports thereon expressing agreement
therewith. I have nothing to object against the
matter or form of the [abovesaid royal letter or]
warrant annexed [missing].
