Royal warrant, under the Queen's sign manual, to the Lords Justices, Ireland, for a patent under the great seal of Ireland to grant to Sir William Ashurst, Lord Mayor of London, the principal debt of 1,218l. 0s. 6d. and interest thereon as follows. The said Ashurst in behalf of himself and others debtors of Richard Dalton and Andrew Dalton, late of Dublin, merchants, having petitioned shewing that said Daltons owed them 4,827l. 5s. 6d. and at their prosecution were outlawed of high treason for being guilty of the late rebellion in Ireland that he, Ashurst, has now discovered some moneys owing to the said Daltons, and therefore praying a grant thereof: on which petition Sir Richard Levinge, kt., Solicitor General of Ireland, has reported that said Ashurst et al. have discovered the estate of the said Daltons, consisting entirely of personalty to the amount of 5,703l. 0s. 2d., of which 2,000l. is desperate; which estate said Solicitor General has divided into three parts, viz. 108. 16s. 4d. due from persons whose estates are granted in custodiam and which cannot be granted to petitioner and 1,915l. 2s. 0d. as the debts of those who have forfeited to the King, “and as to those you [the said Lords Justices] are of opinion that if we will charge our estates with those debts, which are become bad debts by reason of the forfeiture of the rebels' estates, then the said debts may be granted with a clause that shall subject the several forfeited estates of those persons to the payment of those debts. In relation to the last head concerning the debts due from those who have not forfeited their estates or are restored or entitled to be restored by the Articles of Limerick and Galway, you observe that in case we grant these debts there will be more allowed to the petitioner for the discovery of them than has been allowed in other cases, for in other cases there has been allowed only a fourth part to the discoverer “wherefore the Queen is pleased to grant to said Ashurst (in consideration of his good services and also of his expenses in regard to the said discovery) that he should receive from the estate of the said Daltons the debts due from them to him alone, which Ashurst swears were 1,218l. 0s. 6d. on the 31st Dec, 1688 to be paid out of the debts of those who have not forfeited their estates or are restored or are entitled to be restored under the said Articles, or (if those prove insufficient) then out of the debts due under the second division as above. |
