orders for permitting Thomas Sands of London,

country [Virginia], being 2s. per hogshead, as in
lieu of the 580 hogsheads which he shipped out in
1665 on the William and Sarah, John Ruddes commander, which tobacco was taken by the Dutch
and utterly lost; he having already had several
orders of Council for allowing the same, but having
as yet had no benefit of the said orders, but put to
great charge in many years' solicitation of this
business: and the said Lord Howard of Effingham
as Governor of Virginia having been already required
by a royal sign manual of 1685, Dec. 15, to give
such directions as herein, which order has not yet
been put in execution "by reason as is alleged by
you that the revenue in our said colony of Virginia
will not be able to answer the necessary charges of
that government if all such pretensions as may be
made of this nature should be in like manner satisfied": the King being nevertheless willing to
gratify this petitioner. But the present royal letter
is not to be taken as a precedent for such allowances
to any other person on the like pretences for the
future. |

it is directed that the Lieutenants and Deputy
Lieutenants shall certify the Lords of the Privy
Council every six months the several accounts
appointed to be made to them concerning the said
money; which certification has been hitherto
neglected and by reason thereof divers considerable
sums do lie in the hands of said officers and have
not been answered to the Crown: therefore desiring

allow to petitioners and what is the most legal
method to be used therein. |

Treasury warrant to the Attorney or Solicitor General
for a great seal as follows for a Commission to
John Phelipps, Col. Thomas Napier, Thomas Price,
Richard Sheldon and Jerome Nipho for licensing
and regulating hackney coaches. By the Act of
13 and 14 Car. II [14 Car. II, c. 2] the number of
licensed hackney coaches for London, Westminster
and suburbs and the parishes within the bills of
mortality should be limited to 400 under the penalty
of 100l. for each coach licensed above that number.
Since the expiration of said Act divers persons
taking advantage thereof have in great numbers
presumed to set up and do daily multiply supernumerary hackney coaches to drive for hire about
the said cities and suburbs without any order, rule
or government to the great annoyance of the streets,
obstruction of passage and trade and the frequent
occasions of strife and quarrels as also by reason of
their numbers and their standing frequently in
places inconvenient, in expectation of hire: all
which having been taken notice of by the Grand
Jury for Middlesex they did in Michaelmas term
last present into the King's Bench Court at Westminster that the number of the said hackney
coaches was a nuisance and a great grievance to
the subjects: and further complaint of the said
grievance to their trades and businesses has been
made to the King by divers of the said subjects and of
the great want of good rules and orders to be observed
by the drivers thereof. The King therefore "to whom
the undoubted power of punishing, removing, correcting and restraining all public nuisances, annoyances
and disorders in the common streets, highways and
passages doth of right belong" does hereby constitute
and authorise the said Phelipps et al. as above as
Commissioners for licensing, regulating, ordering and
governing all hackney coaches to be let or driven
for hire about the said cities, suburbs and parishes:
with power to licence such and so many as shall
be thought fit to keep and drive hackney coaches
for hire in and about said cities and places and so
to regulate all such licensed persons as may be most
for the benefit and ease of the people. Herein the
said Commissioners are to observe such orders as
they shall from time to time receive of the King or
the Treasury Lords. |

Same to Charles Toll et al. of the petition of Jasper
English, underhousekeeper at Hampton Court; shewing that at the death of Charles II there was 1,025l.
due to petitioner for wages paid to workmen; that
252l. thereof has been paid to him "according to the
rule" [of the order of Council concerning payment of
the arrears of the late King's servants]; but petitioner
considers that this debt is quite different from the
[case of such servants'] wages so reduced "because
those wages were certain and annexed to the officer,
but petitioner's debt was casual and uncertain and
is of the same nature of purveyance, for his money
was really expended out of his pocket"; therefore prays payment of the remainder of said
debt. |

Same to Mr. Blathwayte [as Secretary to the Forces]
of the petition of Peter Bristow, Lieutenant to the
Earl of Plymouth's Company of Grenadiers;
petitioner shewing that in the rebellion [in the
West] he recruited the said Company from 50 to
100 and provided several necessaries for the men,
which, with the money given them on disbanding,
amounted to 75l.: therefore praying payment
thereof as expended for his Majesty's immediate
service. |
