To prevent abuses formerly practised by divers persons, not members, who presumed to endorse the names of members of Parliament on their letters, each member of both Houses is to write his name and give the impression of his seal such as he will put upon his letters in a book to be provided by the Governor of the Post Office. This order to last during pleasure. King's Warrant Book X, p. 130.
Report to the King from Treasurer Rochester on the petition of Phillip Rycaut, esq., late Consul at Algier, shewing that by command of Charles II he paid to the Government of Algier 2,716 dollars four ryalls for the ransom of several English captives and has rendered many other services redounding to the King's honour and the benefit of the subject during his short continuance in that station where he has left a firm and settled peace, having been beneficial to every person therein concerned unless to himself and family which has been greatly prejudiced by being so speedily removed from that place after he had disposed all his domestic affairs at home for his longer residence abroad: therefore praying repayment of abovesaid sum at the rate of 5s. a dollar by reason that at the time the money was paid there was 30 per cent. difference between the Plate [silver] and the current Dollar and that he has been out of said money for six months; and further desiring consideration, having been greatly prejudiced by this speedy removal from his employment. Warrants not Relating to Money XI, pp. 79–80.
Hereon Treasurer Rochester reports that he has seen the Earl of Sunderland's letter dated 1684, Aug. 21, to Rycaut to pay the ransom money for the slaves that made their escape; and also the acquittance dated 1684, Sept. 3, under the hand and seal of the Dei of Algier for the abovesaid sum in full satisfaction for six slaves that made their escape from Algier on board one of the King's men of war in May, 1684, as also for two slaves taken from Tangier and the negro that died there in the time of Mr. Sheeres. Petitioner has made affidavit that the manner of paying the ransom for captives at Algier is in one moiety dollars of the country and the other moiety in pieces of Eight Seville and Mexico, which said money is always repaid upon the Christian shore in pieces of Eight Seville and Mexico. I am informed by merchants that a piece of Eight there is generally reckoned at 5s. In consideration that he was obliged to make payment of the dollars of the country upon the Christian shore in pieces of Eight Seville and Mexico and that he has been so long out of his money he might reasonably be allowed 4s. 6d. for each dollar of the country, which makes the abovesaid sum 645l. 3s. 0d. sterling. I advise he be reimbursed 615l. 3s. 0d. of this sum for the ransom of the English captives and then there remains only 30l. to be made good to him for the ransom of the negro "which the petitioner informs upon the oath cost so much." Petitioner's allowance of 200l. per an. as consul is paid to Oct. 25 last and according to the custom of that place [Algiers] he paid in advance 250 dollars in pieces of Eight, Seville and Mexico, for a year's rent of his house before his letters of revocation arrived. He may be allowed his ordinary till Mar. 25 last, being the day of his return into the royal presence, being 83l. 6s. 8d. and likewise 62l. 10s. 0d. for said 250 dollars at 5s. the dollar. Petitioner's whole pretences amount to 790l. 19s. 8d. whereof 615l. 3s. 0d. may be paid out of money collected for the redemption of English captives and the remainder 175l. 16s. 8d. as your Majesty shall direct.
June 5. Report to the King from Treasurer Rochester on the petition of William Geddes ut supra, p. 106. The Customs Commissioners have reported thereon to me April 27 last that by the Act of Navigation ships of Scotland are equally with all foreign shipping prohibited to carry any goods to his Majesty's Plantations under pain of forfeiture of ship and goods. By petitioner's own shewing his ship is Scotch and carried household stuff to Delaware river. By their books of entry the Customs Commissioners find that about the time in question said vessel cleared from Southampton. The case was then before them by the name of the ship Mary of Southampton, Antho. Pryor master, bound with passengers and goods for Pennsylvania and petitioner confesses it is the same ship as the Alexander of Inverness, there being then some dispute about her qualification to trade to the said Plantations "and that they did then give warning by letter to the collector of Southampton that if she did trade contrary to law she must do it at her own peril though they knew of no law to detain her here." They therefore think that petitioner's pretence of ignorance ought not to exempt him from forfeiture in the Plantation where the breach of law was committed. Warrants not Relating to Money IX, p. 81.
In a second report of May 26 last the said Commissioners certify me that the said ship Mary of Southampton, being a Scotch vessel, was seized and condemned in 1683 by the Governor and Council of Pennsylvania for importing household goods into the Plantation contrary to the Navigation Act. The said ship, now called the Recovery of Southampton was sold to George Jackman, Edw. Pritchard, Joseph Jones, and John Swift and did in 1684 import to London a parcel of sugar and Molasses from Barbados and is now in Southampton port laden with deals from Norway; for which cause the Customs Commissioners ordered her seizure. But the owners petitioned them, pleading ignorance, they presuming that by [her official sale consequent upon] the forfeiture and condemnation she had been as free to trade as an English ship. The Customs Commissioners incline to believe this and therefore advise discharge of the seizure on payment of strangers' duties on the goods imported by her in both voyages, but not to allow her the privilege of a free ship for the future.
June 5. Reference by Treasurer Rochester to the Company of Merchant Adventurers of England, of the petition of Susanna Holman, Grace Tattam, Augnis Cowse, and Eliz. White, shewing that they have respectively 300l., 1,100l., 2,800l., and 700l. in the hands of the said Merchant Adventurers and have received neither principal nor interest and are ancient and in great want. Reference Book III, p. 108.

Report by Treasurer Rochester to the King on the petition of Thomas Fisher of London, gent. ut supra, p. 120. On reference from me Richard Grahme and Philip Burton find that Seagood and Lockwood entered into the recognizances ut ibid. for the performance of a decree made by the court of aldermen for the sole benefit of petitioner and that the King's name was only used therein in trust for petitioner. He may be granted leave to prosecute the recognizances in the King's name but at his own charge. Warrants not Relating to Money XI, p. 78.
Warrant by same to the King's Remembrancer to give time until the seal day of next term to those several sheriffs who (being obliged by the usual course of the Exchequer to be cast out this next general seal day, and being otherwise ready to finish their accounts and be dismissed the court, failing which readiness they would be liable both to the serjeantat-arms and to the process of the Exchequer Court) have in their hands moneys arising by forfeitures of Recusants as to which the King has signified his pleasure that restitution should be made to such persons [Recusants] as have certificates of their constant loyalty and fidelity: all to the end that such writs of restitution as shall in the meantime be directed to them may be allowed them upon their accounts.

June 6. Warrant by Treasurer Rochester to the Surveyor General of Crown Lands for a constat or particular of the parcel of ground in the Innermost Scotland Yard and the little parcel in the northwest corner of the same with a view to a lease thereof to Francis Gwynne ut supra, p. 183. Warrants not Relating to Money XI, pp. 84–5.
Prefixing: report dated June 4 inst. by Sir Christopher Wren on said Gwynne's petition for same. The two plots measure 47 feet 8 inches north, 54 feet 7 inches west, 32 feet 3 inches east and 33 feet 7 inches south, "bounded east with building belonging to the Earl of Newport and another to Mr. Howard in possession of my Lady Pye, on the other three sides with the open yard near the Lord Chamberlain's office." The inconvenience that may arise to the King by providing hereafter for the Usher of the Privy Chamber (which seems to me an objection however Sir Paul Neal the present officer may have been satisfied) is not in this case to be considered by reason the Lord Chamberlain's warrant for the petitioner's building mentions that it is with his lordship's consent and without any prejudice to the Gentlemen Ushers of the Privy Chamber, there being other provision made for them.
Report by same to the King on the petition of William Morris ut supra, p. 151. I am certified that at the assizes in co. Salop 1684, July 21, William Leeke of Wellington was fined 400 marks for scandalous words against the then King and Government and is now a prisoner in Shrewsbury gaol and is likely to remain there for life as he cannot pay said fine. The prosecutor [petitioner] managed the suit at his own charge and has received no satisfaction. Some relatives of Leeke may give him a consideration for procuring a discharge. Petitioner is a fit object of favour. Ibid, p. 86.
Henry Guy to the Clerks of the Treasury. It is the Lord Treasurer's pleasure that all warrants for payment of money to any imprest accomptant not chargeable at the Exchequer do have a clause in them that the said warrant before it be complied with do appear to have been entered with the Auditors of the Imprests. This instruction is to be carefully observed for the time to come. Ibid.
Treasurer Rochester to the Auditor of the Receipt. I am resolved as much as in me lies to prevent all delays in accompting, which appear to me highly prejudicial to the King's service. I have therefore required inter al. that every annual accomptant do deliver in his accompt and vouchers to the proper auditor by a certain day. I am sensible this can not be complied with unless those officers who vouch the accompts are also limited to a certain time.

Ibid, p. 87.
