Same by same to the King's Remembrancer to continue the providing and sending out of the parchment books for [the Customers, Comptrollers and searchers of] the various ports as formerly has been accustomed: all as follow. Ibid, pp. 151–2.
Prefixing: report dated July 14 inst. from the Customs Commissioners on the petition of Henry Ayloff, King's Remembrancer, in trust for Visct. Fanshaw, an infant. We have consulted Mr. Eden, the Deputy Remembrancer of the Exchequer, as to the necessity or usefulness of the said parchment books which are sent to the Customs officers of the several ports by the King's Remembrancer. He informs us that the said books are of two sorts: the one is Coast Books taken for subsidy goods passing coastwise from port to port within the kingdom for which bonds are taken for their delivery accordingly and their not being exported without payment of Custom. As to the continuance and regular return of these there have been some late declaratory orders of the Treasury Lords and the Barons of the Exchequer. The other sorts are books for the entering of all warrants that pass for subsidy or custom inwards or outwards and these are yearly transcripts from the public books which are kept in each Custom House and are annually returned into the Remembrancer's Office upon oath and are there kept: but [they are] not made use of in any part of the [Customs Receiver General's yearly] account that is made to the King of the revenue of the Customs "nor is consistent with the method that now is and for some time hath been used in accompting for that revenue, which [present method consists in] returns [of] quarterly accounts from the outports and weekly from the port of London under several checques, examinations and attestations which those parchment books are not liable to nor capable of. But it is most probable that in former times when each Customer of a port or particular duty was an immediate and distinct accomptant to the King in his Exchequer those books were the only return and charge upon the accomptant and were accordingly delivered to the auditors to frame the accompts. But we conceive that now the chief use that can be made of or reason that can be given for the sending of those books into the Exchequer is that they may be there reposited as records for the use and inspection of the King or any subject if occasion require in future times and the rather because there is no public place or repository that we know of appointed for the other Custom books (which commonly follow the change and will of the respective officers); for the [general yearly] accompt being perfected with the King by the other returns to the auditors as aforesaid there is no great regard had to the perpetuating the books which were the originals of those accounts in each Custom House. And perhaps the books or accompts that are [under the present method] delivered to the auditors will not be of so easy or common access to any private person that shall desire it. And there is this further argument for the continuance of those books, that in case the King's Customs should happen to be in farm there is then no account of the proceed of the revenue returned to the auditors but only an account of the Farmers' discharge of their rent according to covenants; and in that case these books are the only fixed and recorded memorials of the revenue." We therefore advise their continuance as the only objection is their cost: the labour of writing and returning them is merely part of the officer's duty.
July 28. Warrant by Treasurer Rochester to the Customs Commissioners to employ Simon Tomlins (a tidesurveyor, London port) as Collector of Rochester port loco William Smith, lately dismissed. Out Letters (Customs) X, pp. 151, 152, 153, 154, 155.

Warrant by same to [the King's Remembrancer] for a commission to the Customs Commissioners, Customs Farmers and chief officers in London port for setting out the bounds etc. of the quays, wharves etc. in London port in accordance with the certificate dated May 24 last from the Commissioners appointed 1667, Mar. 29 (supra, Calendar of Treasury Books, Vol. I, p. 736), for the survey and delimiting of the said quays, wharves and open places in said port: the said certificate having been certified to the Barons of the Exchequer and approved by Charles II by a Commission under the Exchequer seal dated 1667, Aug. 31: which said certificate is hereby in every part thereof approved and to be put in execution and duly observed. The names of the Commissioners in the Commission of 1667, Mar. 29, are here set out in full. Ibid, pp. 155–7.
July 28. Warrant, dated Tunbridge Wells, by Treasurer Rochester to [John Fisher] the Deputy Surveyor General of Crown Lands, for a particular and ratal of a tenement [in Mewsham, co. Cornwall, and parcel of the manor of Carnedon Prior], with a view to a lease thereof to John Budg. Warrants not Relating to Money XI, p. 331.
Prefixing: said Fisher's report dated July 2 inst. on said Budg's petition for same. The tenement was granted 1625–6, Mar. 11, to John Robert, petitioner's grandfather, for 99 years terminable on three lives, whereof John Oliver is the survivor. It is valued at 10l. per an. I advise a fine of 40l. for a fresh lease for two new lives at the old rent of 10s. and at the accustomed heriot, which by the Parliamentary survey is certified at 3l.
Same by same to same for a particular and ratal of a tenement in Upton in the parish of Linkinhorne in the manor of Carnedon Prior with a view to a fresh lease thereof to Edwd. Kneebone. Ibid, pp. 331–2.
Prefixing: report ut supra. The tenement has been long in petitioner's family and is valued in the Parliamentary Survey at 27l. per an., but Sir Richard Prideaux certified that this was purposely overrated by them because of the loyalty of petitioner and his father in the late rebellion. Prideaux valued it but at 15l. 10s. per an., and it was so rated in the lease granted in 1662. In view of the death of his son, whose life also was shortened by his fidelity, I advise a lease for two fresh lives at a fine of 60l., the old rent of 20s. 4d. per an. and the accustomed heriots, which in the Parliamentary Survey are certified at 20s. 4d.
Same by same to same for a same of two small tenements in Austell Prior, co. Cornwall, with a view to a lease thereof to Andrew Came. Ibid, pp. 332–3.
Prefixing: report ut supra. The first tenement is held by petitioner under a lease to his grandfather, John Came, 2 Car. I, for the life of Elizabeth Vivian yet in being at the old rent of 10s. and for the life of Henry Trelawney on a second lease thereof to Henry Seymour, 1664, April 26, which [latter interest] is alleged to be long since assigned to petitioner's grandmother, Ann Came, deceased. I advise a fine of only 40s. for a fresh lease for petitioner's life.
The second tenement was granted 4 Car. I to Joseph May and a like further interest was therein granted to said Seymour for the lives of two others of Mr. Trelawney's brothers, viz. Jonathan Trelawney, now Bishop of Bristol, and Charles Trelawney. I advise a fine of only 40s. for a like fresh lease to petitioner as the existing lives in being are young and healthy.
Same by same to Timothy Whitfeild, Clerk of the Estreats in the Exchequer Court, to forbear process against Bryan Ayliff on his recognizance of 100l. before Sir William Turner, kt., for the appearance of Sir Robt. Peyton: which recognizance was forfeited, but the King having declared his pleasure that it shall be discharged. Ibid, p. 334.

July 31. Warrant, dated same, by Treasurer Rochester to John Fisher, Deputy Surveyor General of Crown Lands, for a particular and ratal of a messuage and tenement [in Killkennis in the lordship of Denbigh] with a view to a new lease thereof to Richard Davyes for 21 years in reversion after 1693, Lady day, at the old rent of 4l. per an. and 4l. per an. de incremento and without fine. Warrants not Relating to Money XI, p. 335.
Prefixing: report dated June 30 last by John Fisher, Deputy Surveyor General of Crown Lands, on said Davies's petition for same. The premises were granted to William Wynn in 1662 for a term which will expire in 1693. Wynn assigned to petitioner in 1663. The increased rent of 4l. was then considered the moiety of the improved value. I advise terms as above.
