Duty: being 1,200l. for his support and maintenance and 800l. per an. in lieu of all presents or gifts from the Assemblies: to commence as from 1714 Dec. 15: to be paid as follows, viz. one moiety thereof from said date and to the date of his arrival and thereafter in full: the other moiety to be reserved for the Lieut.-Governor there during Lowther's absence, pursuant to the order of Wm. III. dated 1698 June 21. King's Warrant Book XXVII, pp. 375–6. Same to same for a same to empower the Treasury to borrow money on the security of tin. The late Queen for herself, her heirs &c. did contract with the Tinners of Cornwall for the term of seven years from 1 June 1710 to take several quantities of tin at the prices therein mentioned and did also contract with the Tinners in Devon for 6½ years from 21 Nov. 1710 to take all the tin raised in that county at the same prices. In order to the carrying on the said contracts and paying for the tin coined in pursuance thereof it will be absolutely necessary that a sum not exceeding 50,000l. be borrowed upon security of a part of the said tin at an interest of 5 per cent. payable quarterly. The Treasury is therefore hereby to be empowered to give warrant to Edward Elliot, Receiver and Paymaster of the money for buying of tin in Cornwall and Devon, to receive any sums not exceeding 50,000l. from any persons who will lend upon security of so much of the said tin now being or that shall be in the Tower of London as shall be agreed between the Treasury and the said lenders, which quantity or quantities of tin the said Receivers is to be directed and empowered by the Treasury to assign and transfer and deliver upon condition and agreement that such assignment shall be void in case of repayment at the end of one year free of taxes or other charges whatsoever; failing which, so much of the tin may be sold as may satisfy the loan and interest, and the balance of the tin [to remain to the Crown]: The said Receiver is to be charged with the moneys so lent or advanced to him. And all the moneys which shall from henceforth be brought into the Exchequer arisen from the sales of tin shall be issued and applied in the first place to satisfy in course the remainder now undischarged of the loans upon the Register for Tin in the Exchequer and the interest thereon; and thereafter for supplying such further sums as shall be further necessary to pay for the tin to be bought pursuant to the said contracts and the charges incident thereto “and to satisfy the debts and arrears due to the servants of the late Queen Anne and others which you [the Treasury Lords] shall find just and reasonable to be paid out of the same. Nevertheless the moneys so to arise for tin sold or to be sold and what shall be brought into the said Receipt of our Exchequer after any sum or sums shall be due or payable for interest or principal of the moneys to be borrowed or advanced by or in pursuance of these presents shall be subject and liable, and be issued in satisfaction of, such interest or principal so due or remaining due from time to time according to the power and directions hereinbefore given in that behalf without preference to any other payments except the said principal now remaining unsatisfied on the said present Register and the said interest for so much thereof as bears interest.” Ibid., pp. 376–7. |
