Same to John Fisher, Deputy Surveyor General of
Crown Lands, for a particular of the manor of
Hempholme, co. Yorks, with a view to a fresh lease
thereof to Hugh Bethell for 99 years terminable on
the life of him, John Acklam and the life in being;
at 5l. per an. rent and fine of 240l. |
Ibid, pp. 27–8. |
|
Prefixing: (a) note of said Bethel's petition for same.
(b) Said Fisher's report dated Feb. 19 last thereon.
The existing lease was granted in 1674 for 99 years,
terminable on three lives, whereof two died not
long after and the third, Francis Thompson, is a
good life. The manor lies near petitioner's seat of
Rise and was granted to his uncle, Sir Hugh Bethell,
at 5l. per an. rent and without fine in consideration
of his services towards the Restoration. It was
valued by the Parliamentary survey at 130l. per an.
above a reprize of 16l. per an. for banks and sewers.
It appears to have come to the Crown by exchange
in Queen Elizabeth's time as parcel of the possessions
of Sir Thomas Heneage, kt., and was then rated
at 105l. 13s. 4d. per an., which was more than the
tenants could hold it at, the chiefest part being
marsh, fenny and low ground subject to being overflowed, so that I am credibly informed the clear
profit doth seldom arise to 80l. per an. in the dryest
time, but much less in most years, and late inundations have done extraordinary damage to the banks
and there is no wood growing within the manor to
help towards it. |

|
Same to same for a same of the pasture ground called
Queen Leaze, with a view to a lease thereof to the
inhabitants of Bray for 31 years from 1701, May 5,

Ibid, p. 32. |
|
Prefixing: (a) note of said petition, ut supra, p. 1183.
(b) Report thereon by said Deputy Surveyor General.
The premises were granted in 4 Eliz. to trustees
for the town of Bray for 21 years at 50l. per an.
rent and fine of 12l. 10s. 0d. and therein is recited
a former grant by Henry VIII for the like term.
In 1610, May 5, James I granted it for 60 years at
same rent and fine of 55l. This term not expiring till
1670, May 5, the townsmen might think themselves
secure; but Sir Nicholas Fortescue (amongst divers
other things) got a grant thereof 1629, Oct. 19, for
31 years in reversion, which they [the inhabitants]
were obliged to purchase of his executors in 1650
and paid 110l. for it. The ground contains not
above 30 acres and is not worth above 30l. per an.
above the rent in wet years and 20l. per an. in dry
years. The vicar, reeve and tenant of the rectory
have common of pasture for their beasts in it. The
profit of the land is put to charitable use, being for
repair of the church and relief of the poor, most
of the parishioners being tenants to the King and
pay considerable rents to the Crown. |

Royal warrant to the Clerk of the Signet for a privy

coined in the Mint, viz. from 1683, June 24, to
1686, Sept. 29, and likewise to pay to same so much
as the said 2d. per lb. shall amount to until 1691,
Aug. 9: all as by the grant under the great seal
dated 1681, Aug. 26; the late King having by a
grant under the privy seal dated 1681–2, Mar. 22,
granted her 600l. per an. in lieu of said poundage,
but with a clause of revocation at will; which 600l.
per an. has been paid up to 1683, June 24, and no
further, and it is certified that the said poundage
from 1683, June 24, to 1686, Sept. 29, comes to
761l. 9s. 4d., which makes 234l. per an., and that if
the King were disposed to confirm the said grant
of poundage it would be a lesser charge upon the
King [than the said 600l. per an.]. The said
poundage is hereby to be computed in such manner
that the future payments thereof may be satisfied
weekly or otherwise as the said silver moneys shall
be coined, the defraying the charge of the Mint
being always in the first place provided for. |

made by the Receivers of Recusants' Forfeitures)
shall appear to be of the Roman Catholic religion,
all moneys grown due or that shall grow due to the
King thereon and all moneys levied and received
thereon and not yet answered to the King and,

be produced or not. |

together with the following item [payable direct out

|
| Mar. 8. |
The Treasury Lords to Mr. Cholmondesly et al. Justices
of the Peace in co. Chester. We referred to the
Hearthmoney Commissioners the letter you sent
to us and that which Mr. Cholmondesly sent to
Sir John Ernle relating to the payment of Hearthduty for bakehouse chimneys and private ovens.
We find that the said Commissioners had letters
from their collectors in Cheshire on the same occasion. The Commissioners inform us that the case
in difference between the complainants and the
collectors is agreed to be that there are in said
county bakehouses in several private houses in
which is a chimney and therein an oven and a
furnace used for baking and brewing and a hearth
used for any raking out the embers out of the oven and
the furnace; that some of those hearths are not
used for any other use than for raking out the embers
and others of them are used for other uses besides
the raking out of the embers. The said Commissioners are of opinion that in all cases where the
firehearths in such private bakehouses are used for
any other use than for receiving the embers raked
out of the oven or furnace such firehearths are
liable to pay the duty, although the oven and furnace
are exempted. But where the firehearths in such
bakehouses are used only for receiving the embers
raked out of the oven or furnace and not for any
other use such firehearths ought not to be charged
with the duty. But the Commissioners conceive
it unreasonable that the collectors should be put
to prove that such firehearths in such private bakehouses are used for other uses. They conceive that
the occupiers of such private bakehouses ought to
make an affidavit before some Justice of Peace that
they never used such firehearths saved for receiving
the embers raked out as above. We approve of
this opinion of the Commissioners, for it is grounded
on the opinion given by all the Judges of England
in the case which has been communicated to all the
Justices in your county. We think it ought to be
complied with and the duty paid accordingly. The
Commissioners have directed their officers to demand
and levy the duty only in such cases as above. We
therefore desire you to direct all the inhabitants
to pay Hearthduty for all firehearths in private
bakehouses used for other purposes than merely
receiving the raked out embers; and that all due
encouragement be given to the officers in collecting
same. (Entry struck through and this letter replaced
by a letter dated Mar. 22 inst. as follows.) The case
is that there are in Cheshire, as there are in most other
counties who [which] never scrupled the payment of
the duty, a great number of hearths in and adjoining
to which are an oven or furnace or both and a large
hearth, some of eight or ten foot space, fit for any
other use whatsoever besides the mere receiving the
embers out of the oven or furnace in or adjoining
to the hearth; "which hearths you would have
exempted, as seems by your letters, for the sake of
the oven or furnace, unless the officer will swear
that these hearths are otherwise used." On reading
your letters and discoursing the Hearthmoney
Commissioners thereon we are of opinion that
where a hearth is such as in itself is liable to pay
the duty such hearth can't be exempted from
payment by virtue of an oven or furnace at one
end thereof; for by the law all ovens are as chargeable as any other hearths [and] only private ovens
[are] exempt. But the hearth in a chimney wherein
there is an oven which may be made use of for boiling
and roasting or the like is as liable to the duty as
if there were no such oven belonging to it: and the
contrary opinion will be very prejudicial to this
revenue for that it may exempt many more hearths
than we believe you yourselves would pretend to
have exempted. But if the oven or furnace be so
made as that the hearth or floor for receiving the
embers raked out of the oven or furnace be capable
of no other use such hearth or floor may be exempted
as a necessary requisite to the oven or furnace, and
in such cases we have directed the Hearthmoney
Commissioners to order their officers to forbear
levying the duty. But we desire you to take
effectual care that all inhabitants do pay their
duties for their hearths in private houses that
may be used for other occasions than receiving
the embers of the private oven or furnace as
above and that all due encouragement be given etc.

Treasury reference to the Customs Commissioners of
the petition of the merchants of Salisbury and of
the inhabitants within the city of New Sarum;
shewing that the undertakers authorised for making
the river Avon navigable from Christchurch to
Sarum have now completed the work of the said
river and made a more commodious haven near
Christchurch already sufficient to receive a vessel
of 100 tons and upwards; and the petitioners have
hitherto undergone the great charge and inconveniency of landing their goods at the ports of
Poole or Southampton and bringing them thence by
land carriage, which is double the expense they are
now at by carrying them up by water from Christchurch to New Sarum; and that the said work
cannot have its effect to the advantage of this city
and the country adjacent and the increase of commerce and trade unless there be a Customs Collector
attending at Christchurch: therefore pray his
appointment there accordingly. |

the interest and estate thereof now in being is only
for 36 years and the immediate reversion in fee
simple thereupon is in the Crown: therefore prays
