April 1 last by Mr. Heron in the name of John Price
as receiver of the revenues in Ireland which belonged
to the King [as Duke of York] before his accession,
whereas in truth the money did not arise by those
revenues; same being hereby to be taken in and
vacated and in lieu thereof a tally is to be levied
and struck for 2,700l. as so much received by the
Earl of Tyrconnel from Samuel Heron by the order
of Thomas Rutland: all by reason that the royal
sign manual of Feb. 17 last ordered payment of
3,000l. to said Earl for his equipage as Lord Deputy
and on his going to that government he desired the
value thereof to be advanced him in England,
whereupon the King ordered him to be paid 2,700l.
in London by Charles Duncombe, who is since by
the King's command repaid same out of the King's
money in Henry Guy's hands; but after the said
Earl's departure into Ireland the said 3,000l. was
issued to him there by John Price, Receiver General
of the Revenue of Ireland, and then the said Earl
did by Mr. Thomas Rutland return the said 2,700l.
[by exchanges back again] to London to the hands
of Mr. Samuel Heron to be paid in [to the Exchequer]
as repayment for said advance; but by mistake said
Heron paid it in as on account of said Price as
above. |

we consider petitioner's request reasonable. (3)
Reference, dated 1687, June 23, to Auditor Aldworth

allowance. (4) [Said Aldworth's report thereon];
the said demand includes 58l. 7s. 0d. for sheriffs'

The Treasury Lords to the Lord Deputy of Ireland.
We have received your letter of the 21st past with the
papers enclosed therein concerning Sir William
Petty's quit rents. No procedure to reduce those
quit rents has been made here further than this
that his Majesty upon hearing Sir William's case
(as stated from former reports and representations
in the matter) signified his pleasure to accept from
Sir William 400l. per an. from 1682, Sept. 29, for
the quit rents of all his lands in Kerry (about which
the dispute has been) upon condition that Sir William
first agree with the respective Farmers [of the
Revenue of Ireland] for their demands out of those
lands. Since then Sir John Bucknall and others
that were concerned in the Forths' farm [of the
great branches of the revenue of Ireland] have
appeared with Sir William Petty before us, the
Treasury Lords, and as Sir William refused to agree
with them on their demands the King has signed a
warrant [ut supra, pp. 1422–4] for their discharge
on payment of 14,254l. 15s. 5¼d. and after this in
regard Sir William hitherto refuses to make an end
with the Farmers (which was the previous [precedent]
condition) we do not think that there remains any
obligation to make him the said reducement of
his quit rents to 400l. per an. until he have complied
with the said condition. |

of William Hopton, shewing that he served for four
years as a soldier in Tangier and is still in arrear

General did on May 27 last advance to said Shales,
which sum the King intended should be repaid to the
Crown partly out of the moneys which were to grow
due to said Commissary from said Troops for such
covering and partly out of the established pay of
said Commissary: for which reason the King
directed a deduction of 7s. per week to be made
from every one of the King's said Horse. The
remainder thereof [of said 600l.] is hereby to be
stopped out of the pay of 30s. a day allowed to said
Shales on the establishment of the Forces from
April 1 last. |
King's Warrant Book XII, p. 208. |
|
Same to James, Duke of Ormonde, Lord Steward of
