Out Letters (General) XXII, p. 318.
C. Stanhope to the Attorney General to report on the enclosed petition [missing] of Mary, wife of Philip Hodgson, praying to be relieved out of the estate forfeited by the attainder of her said husband. Ibid.
Same to Auditor Jett to make out a state of the late Mr. William Aldworth's accounts as Receiver of [Crown] Land Revenues for Co. Yorks for 17 years and in the archdeaconry of Richmond and counties of Durham and Northumberland for nine years ended at Michaelmas 1697: to wit according to the minutes of the Treasury Lords in the margin of your report as follows:
Followed by: said Auditor's report and queries dated July 2. On the accounts and vouchers submitted to me by Susanna and Elizabeth Aldworth, executrixes of the said William Aldworth, I was obliged to make several queries thereto to which they have replied. The account cannot be settled until those queries are determined [by the Treasury Lords].
(1) There are several vouchers wanting for payment of pensions to poor vicars, curates and the like for several years, but acquittances are produced for both precedent and subsequent years. Treasury minute in the margin: allowed.
(2) In many cases acquittances appear, but no debentures, “upon which I do not lay any great stress, the acquittances proving the payment of so much money.” Treasury minute in the margin: allowed.
(3) As to 41l. 6s. 8d. per an. due to 31 poor Cremits [? eremites] in the city of York where neither debentures nor acquittances appear for the whole 17 years: the accomptants [executrixes] answer that it has been annually paid to sundry poor people at 13s. 4d. and 1l. 6s. 8d. each, but no acquittances given for the same, “which I think is not sufficient, it appearing that the subsequent receivers of the said revenue have sometimes taken acquittances for the same from the Lord Mayor of York for the time being upon the debentures and at other times have had lists of such poor people signed by the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen for which those poor people have signed acquittances separately to the Receiver.” The want of vouchers in the present case is submitted. Treasury minute in the margin: Disallowed.
(4) The taxes claimed for nine years in Yorkshire amounting to 537l. 5s. 5¼d. and in Richmond, Durham and Northumberland amounting to 433l. 11s. 7d.: the accomptants say they [the figures] were taken from the accompts thereof transmitted by the Deputy Receiver [General of Taxes for those places]. Whether that answer is sufficient or not is submitted. Treasury minute in the margin: My Lords do not think this answer is sufficient.
(5) The Messenger's fee of 6l. 13s. 4d. per an. for 17 years amounting to 113l. 6s. 8d. It is presumable that the same was paid, as is alleged, by the accomptants. For want of a voucher this is submitted. Treasury minute in the margin: Disallowed.
(6) The 581. per an. for necessary expenses in Yorkshire for nine years amounting to 986l. [sic] is the same as has been allowed in former accounts exclusive of 100l. per an. for the Receiver's fee: which is submitted. Treasury minute in the margin: Allowed.
(7) The accomptants' petition for a warrant to allow 100l. for making a rental. Treasury minute in the margin: Disallowed.
(8) The whole vouchers for Richmond, Durham and Northumberland are wanting for the years 1695, 1696 and 1697, for which the accomptants say they have made diligent search themselves and have sent in to the county to Mr. Hamond's widow and [his] clerk who were employed in the receipt and payment of the money and [they] have for answer that the said Hamond's and his clerk's papers have been carefully examined where are copies of accounts from year to year if they may be of any satisfaction, but none of the vouchers. It is probable all the pensions are paid for those years; otherwise in all likelihood there would have been a demand made thereof in [all] this time. But how to supply such a defect is submitted. Treasury minute in the margin: My Lords presume the pensioners are paid.
(9) As to the debentures being wanting for Richmond, Durham and Northumberland for the first three years, I do not lay any great stress thereon; there being acquittances which prove the payment of so much money. No Treasury minute thereon.
(10) As to the Receiver's fee of 50l. per an., it is the same as was allowed in former accounts: and therefore is submitted to your Lordships. Treasury minute in the margin: Allowed. Out Letters (General) XXII, pp. 319–20. |

Treasury reference to the Customs Commissioners of the petition of John Elliston shewing that a quantity of coffee of his remains under his Majesty's lock “as by law directed” and he has petitioned for a review to be made thereof by the officers, which they refuse. Therefore prays a review of the coffee. Reference Book IX, p. 399.
Same to Auditor Jett of the petition of Susanna and Elizabeth Aldworth praying a further stay of process, ut supra, p. 208: they doing all they possibly can for perfecting their late father's accounts. Ibid., p. 400.
Treasury warrant to the King's Remembrancer to forbear process against Mary Harneis, widow and administratrix of John Harneis, deceased, late Receiver General of Taxes for part of Co. Lincoln, and against his securities until Lady day next provided she makes the payments into the Exchequer as she proposes.
Prefixing: report from the Taxes Commissioners dated Office for [Duties on] Hides &c, 5 July inst., on the petition of said Mary. She proposes to clear the whole debt by next Lady day, which she estimates at about 2,000l. At the time of his dismissal from being Receiver he was indebted about 14,000l. to the Crown. By several payments this was reduced to about 2,200l. at the time of his death. The getting in of his debts and effects must take time and we do not object to the stay of process. Warrants not Relating to Money XXV, p. 28.
Treasury subscription for the execution of a warrant dated June 17 last from “Holles Newcastle” [Duke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne], Lord Chamberlain of the Household, to the Duke of Montague, Master of the Great Wardrobe, for the delivery to the Duke of Kingston as Lord Privy Seal of a rich purse [to carry his seal]: to an estimate of 21l.

Out Letters (North Britain) IV, p. 349. |
| July 12. |
Treasury reference to the Stamps Commissioners of the petition of Archibald Vans, citizen of London and maker of playing cards, shewing that he sold to the Bishop of Derry's butler 14 gross of cards and inadvertently entered into a bond for their exportation to Ireland; and alleges that the said cards were accordingly exported thither and used in the said Bishop's family: therefore prays stop of a prosecution which he hears is commenced against him for the penalty of said bonds. Reference Book IX, p. 400. |
