Out Letters (General) VI, pp. 468–9. |
|
Appending: said proposals concerning Popish Recusants. |
|
|
Forasmuch as the method hitherto practised for recovering [the Recusancy fine of] 20l. a month from the Recusants in co. Lancs. has been of very little benefit to his Majesty and of great prejudice and almost ruin to many hundreds of families there, very few if any being able to pay the penalty: it is proposed (1) that the King would waive the 20l. a month and cause seizure to be made of the two-third part of all the lands and leases [of the said Recusants]; which being found and seized at moderate rates will be an established revenue to his Majesty of far greater yearly value than has hitherto been gotten for him or can be gotten, and will be paid without charge or trouble. |
|
|
(2) If any person whose estate is so seized shall be so inconsiderate as to get any plea allowed to discharge such seizure he may then be prosecuted for the 20l. a month in the severest manner. |
|
|
(3) All such as have no lands but ways of trade may upon the constant summons of the Pipe for 20l. per month pay what can be reasonably got of them by the receiver every year in some moderation without any agreement or composition. |
|
|
This method is in every point legal and will have the effect (1) that the King will have a good increase of revenue without much trouble or charge. (Note: the King has not had a full fifth part of what it has cost the Recusants.) (2) No person will be totally ruined, but all will be willing to pay according to their power when they shall find some quiet or ease. And note: when the inquisitions are found at moderate rates every person will be willing to pay rather than plead any matter of discharge because by discharging his lands he will be subject himself to the 20l. a month. |

Out Letters (Ireland) II, pp. 218–26. |
|
Prefixing: (1) said order of the Privy Council in Ireland dated 1682, April 26, signed by Mich. [Archbishop of] Armagh, C[hancellor]; [Earl of] Drogheda, Visct. Blessington, [Visct.] Granard, [Visct.] Lanesborough, W. [Bishop of] Kildare, [Sir] Cha. Feilding, Rich. Coote, Will. Stewart. The highway leading through his Majesty's park from Dublin to Chapel Izod has been found to be very inconvenient for the said park as the deer cannot be preserved but daily in great numbers trespass on the lands adjoining, whereby many of them are every year lost and destroyed. The greatest part of the lands lying on the south side of the said highway is now enclosed within the park but does not belong to the King, and 64 acres of the residue thereof which does belong to the King have been set apart to be granted to the new hospital now building thereon: so that his Majesty's land lying on the south side of said highway contains (besides the said 64 acres) but a small quantity lying in several parcels. For the better securing of said park and the deer we have thought fit that the said highway and the lands south of it should be excluded from the park and that a wall should be made of lime and stone on the north side of said highway from the park gate next Dublin to Chapel Izod. Sir John Temple, kt., Solicitor General [Ireland], having his lands adjoining to the said park and to the abovesaid land on the south of the highway and having for several years received much damage therein by the said deer, has proposed as follows for building the said wall, viz. to build same of lime and stone eight feet high for the length as above and to make such gates therein as shall be necessary and to finish same in one year from May 1 next, leaving out of the said park a parcel of land next adjoining to the town of Chapel Izod on the north side the highway as was lately designed by a Committee of the Privy Council, Ireland, "upon view of the place where the said wall is to run": the said wall as measured by Mr. Robinson to be 527 perches in length, which at 3s. 9d. per perch (being the lowest rate that anyone hath offered to build it) will amount to about 800l. [sic] besides the charge of digging the foundation and making the gates: in return for the said piece of land so to be left out on the north side of the highway, and also of the rest of the King's land which is now within the park and will be left out by the wall [the said Temple proposes to build said wall at his own charge] on the further condition of receiving 200l. to be paid out of the Treasury [Ireland] by concordatum by 50l. a quarter within a year, the first payment thereof on Aug. 1 next: from the said grant of lands there is to be excepted and excluded the House of Chapel Izod, the court yard and gardens thereto, the bleaching yard there, the mills or weirs of Kilmainham, the wash house there, and the abovesaid 64 acres: also the two gatekeepers' lodges at Dublin and Chapel Izod to be so excepted unless they shall be found inconvenient for the gates to be placed in the new wall, in which case said Temple shall rebuild them where convenient, and in lieu of the gatekeeper's lodge on the road to Kilmainham said Temple will build a new lodge for a gatekeeper at the Phoenix Park, where a gate will be necessary. |
|
|
The Privy Council [Ireland] finding the said proposal the best offer that has been made, agreed thereto and has thought fit to order said Temple to forthwith go on in making the said wall so as to finish same within a year of May 1 next and that William Robinson, Surveyor of his Majesty's Buildings, do set out the wall and see it properly built and that the land to be left out on the north side of the highway near Chapel Izod do not exceed five acres: further that the Attorney General prepare a draft royal letter for granting to said Temple and his heirs the said lands as above, under the rent of 1s. per an.: further that the said 200l. be paid to him, as above. |

Henry Guy to Mr. Graham to go with Mr. Preston to the Attorney General to request him to draw a warrant according to the following decree [sic for opinion]. |
Out Letters (General) VI, pp. 470–1. |
|
Appending: report to the Treasury Lords from Sir Robert Sawyer [Attorney General] dated Feb. 15. In regard the King has obtained a decree for the estate late of Sir Thomas Preston in Lancashire and also that the trustees, Visct. Carrington and Humphery Weld should convey to the King the legal estate in them vested, which as yet they have not done, I am of opinion that the intended grant for seven years will not pass anything at present to Thomas Preston, esq., "who, I find by agreement with the King and your lordships, is to become farmer thereof at the rent of 400l. per an." But I conceive you may give an order to Mr. Preston to enter and take possession of the said intended estate or so much as he can obtain possession of and so may receive the rents and profits as from Pentecost last until a sufficient grant can be made by the King. And in case he cannot receive the full rents and profits he may have an allowance [on his rent] pro rata. |
|
| July 15. |
Henry Guy to the Attorney General to report on the following proposals from the Warden of the Mint. |
Out Letters (General) VI, pp. 471–3. |
|
Appending: said proposals. "That the coinage being the King's prerogative and equally concerning the honour of the King as the benefit of the subject hath always received incouragement and support from the Crown and hath been defended by several penalties" against clipping, counterfeiting and debasing. It is incumbent on the Wardens of the Mint particularly to take care for putting the said laws in execution and for the charges of such prosecution they have been allowed to take to their own use without account all the clippings, clipt moneys, false moneys, tools etc. seized in the possession of such offenders, though the same be really forfeited to the Crown. The present Wardens of the Mint find that they will not be able to perform this service unless with the Treasury Lords' direction and countenance. They therefore propose (1) that on the arrest of a clipper etc. the Justice of the Peace send a copy of the information and examination to the Warden of the Mint. By reason of a disuse for some late years the present Wardens need some such public countenance "that it may be made known through all counties in England that there is such a publique and sworn officer unto whom all informations may be given." (2) That all clippings, clipt and false moneys, tools etc. by or of whomsoever seized may, after conviction, be delivered by the sheriff of the county to the Warden of the Mint, so that the moneys may be melted down and the tools broken, instead of being passed in payment and made use of again as they might be delivered if left in the hands of some ill men. (3) That such clippings, clipt and false moneys and tools may be to the Warden of the Mint's own use without account, as towards the charges of prosecution as above, which charges are supposed to be considerable especially in prosecutions in the country, remote from London. |

Appending: copy of the said royal sign manual of June 24 last to said Cha. Fox. It appears from your certificate of 1682, June 19, "that the Governor, general officers and the officers and soldiers of two Companies of Foot, consisting of 100 men in each Company, in our Plantation of Virginia (of which the muster rolls were complete to the end of June, 1681), being disbanded the last of April, 1682, to which time their established pay for two years and four months, being 850 days from the end of Dec. 1679 to the last of April, 1682, amounted to 15l. 173l. 5s. 6d. but by our order the calculation of the said establishment was so reduced that although the computation of men allowed is according to the said former muster rolls, yet their pay according to that reducement for the said 850 days amounts only to the sum of 8,341l. 11s. 8d. which is the full that is thereby due to our said Forces in our said Plantation." Said Fox is therefore hereby to pay said sum of 8,341l. 11s. 8d. to Lord Colepeper for said Governor, officers and soldiers as above. |
