King's Warrant Book XVII, pp. 33–41. |
|

|
Same shall pass and be generally used between any persons that shall and will voluntarily and willingly pay and receive the same as tokens or pieces of the value of a fourth and a half of a penny respectively, all other persons prohibited to make or import such farthings and half pence in England, Wales or the said Plantations, in order to which Corbet is to have right of entry and search in any suspected place, ship, etc., and to keep to himself without account any tools or coins there found and seized. |
|
Corbet on his side to covenant to make so many of said coins as will suffice to change all the tin farthings and half pence which shall be brought to be exchanged and without difficulty or delay and at face value and so many more as shall suffice for the accommodation of the subject in the change of small moneys and retailing trade in England, Wales and the said Plantations, but within the limits of quantity aforesaid. |
|
Upon the changing of the said tin coins Corbett is to melt same down for his own use so that none shall ever afterwards be uttered or vended or remain unmelted for above 14 days after the receiving them. |
|
Corbet to submit to Treasury inspection: and to have the use of the house in New Street as above for so many years of his term as the Crown lease thereof will run and the use of their Majesties' tools and instruments therein, but same to be returned at the end of the term herein. |
