William Blathwayt [as Auditor General of the Plantations], dated
from Whitehall to Mr. Bladen. The last year upon the encouragement
of your father I sent you my deputation as [Deputy] Surveyor
and Auditor in Maryland with the necessary Instructions of which
I now send you a copy ut supra Tr. Cal. vol. XVIII, p 377. I am
further to add that in receiving all accompts from the several
Receivers, Collectors and accomptants you are to require them to
make oath thereto before the Governor and Council or some other
person capable of administering such oath. I did likewise observe
to you (as also to Mr. Plater and Mr. Muschamp) that their accompts
were very imperfect and that my Lord Treasurer did expect to have
them speedily returned to me from the beginning of their respective
receipts and that in case of default or delay therein process would
issue against them which would immediately produce a forfeiture
of their places as you will see by a copy of Mr. Lowndes's letter of
29 Oct. 1703, ibid. p. 437.
I hope those gentlemen [the said accountants under your audit]
will take better care of their interest and will deliver their accompts
and vouchers to you for transmission to me. I pray you call on
them and quicken them in this matter.
P.S. I send you a form to be observed by you and the accomptants
in the making up of the said accounts so as same may be satisfactory
to my Lord Treasurer. (The like letter to Mr. Muschamp). (The
like letter to Mr. Plater).
Appending : said form of account, certificate and attestation etc.
(1) An accompt of her Majesty's Revenue of Customs in the
Province of ...
(2) Deputy Auditor's certificate "I have carefully examined the
aforegoing accompt of her Majesty's revenue commencing ...
and ending ... and compared every article with its proper
voucher produced and sworn to by J. B., Collector and Receiver
General, and find the Charge truly stated amounts to ...
and likewise the Discharge to ... for which proper vouchers
have also been produced and sworn to by the said Collector : so
that for the balance of the said accompt there is due ...
to ... witness my hand.
(3) Attestation by the Governor Viscount Cornbury. The
aforegoing accompt stated and sworn by J. B., the Collector and
Receiver General and compared, examined and audited by G. C,
Deputy Auditor, I have viewed in Council and do believe it to be a
true charge and discharge of the revenue for the said time. Out Letters

William Lowndes to the Lord Treasurer [at Windsor Castle].
Mr. Lake and Mr. Blount came to me last night and acquainted me
[that] their Company [the Sword Blade Company] had resolved to
lend the Queen 20,000l. which should be paid into the Exchequer
as soon as desired. But I find they insist to have tin [as security
to be] in their own custody not in the Tower and the interest will be
but 5 per cent. I hope to have the privy seal with me at my
attendance on you on Monday and to have your directions there for
taking in this loan. If the tin now in the Tower is to be removed it
will be some charge and I believe when they have their tallies and
orders [of loan] they will be content to receive into their custody the
tin of the last coinage as it shall arrive, which will avoid trouble and
charge and leave that in the Tower ready to be sold daily by the
officers of the Mint. Otherwise in the deed of mortgage [of the tin]
to the Company they must covenant to deliver to the buyers the
parcels bought on their producing receipts from Mr. Aynstys. The
privy seal imports a credit for any persons to lend from time to time
and to be repaid in course ; so that it will not be difficult afterwards
to borrow more.
The surplus of the 9d. per barrel in the Tonnage Act [the Bank of
England Act 5-6 Wm. and Mary c. 20] amounts to 16,223l. 19s. 1¾d.,
to be applied towards a deficiency of about 37,000l. on the Land
