Report to the Treasury Lords from William Blathwayte on Mr. Neal's petition for mines in America. By a patent in 1687 (supra, Calendar of Treasury Books, Vol. VIII, pp. 1231–2) there was granted to the Duke of Albemarle for 51 years all royal mines and mines of lead, tin, copper etc. in America, except Virginia etc. ut ibid. Under its terms this grant is become void, there having not been any mine opened or wrought by the said Duke, his executors, assigns or agents in any part of their Majesties' Plantations so that the like grant may pass to Mr. Neal under the like conditions. If the term of working such mines be reduced to one year from the date of the patent it will oblige the patentee to apply himself with more speed and industry towards rendering this design useful to the Crown. |
