William Lowndes to the Revenue Commissioners in Ireland. It has been represented that the annuity of 600l. granted by the late King to Lady Letitia Russell for 31 years from 1692 Lady day (payable out of the reserve rent of 1,500l. per an. in the Countess of Dorchester's grant of lands) is very much in arrear, and that divers sums have been paid into the Exchequer [Ireland] for the said quit rent as well by the collectors of the revenue as by the terre-tenants charged therewith. Please report a true state of this matter to the Lord Treasurer and whether any of the said moneys have been issued and applied to other uses than to the payment of the said pensions or either of them [i.e. of the said Countess and the said Lady Letitia]. Ibid., p. 186. |

Treasury reference to the Barons of the Exchequer in Scotland of the petition of Mr. Drummond, Warden of the Mint at Edinburgh, shewing that he succeeded Charles Billingham in that office, who died and left his wife (a daughter of the Earl of Marchmont) and several children and "he" having purchased his office for a sum of money had little to leave them: [wherefore] a gift of the [said] office was presented in the said Drummond's name for account of Mr. Billingham's lady and children and the said gift was signed accordingly and he entered into possession at Whitsuntide 1705 and paid Mr. [Mrs.] Billingham 666l. 13s. 4d. sterling; and the salary of his office being but 150l. per an. "he is not yet repaid with interest": and petitioner, the said Drummond, being in London in 1707 was directed by the Lord Treasurer to meet the officers of the Mint in the Tower in order to the recoining the Scotch money like that of England which he did and for his pains has received no manner of allowance: and the Mint at Edinburgh being put into the same method with the Mint in England the recoinage of the money in Scotland was set about and from Sept. 1707 to Dec. 1708 inclusive there was coined and delivered out 320,995l. 19s. 6d. sterling which hurry of business tied the officers to constant attendance; for which Mr. Drummond has never received the least gratification: therefore prays (seeing that since the Union there is much more business [in his office] than formerly and will be still increasing) that he may have some addition to his salary and some allowance for his extraordinary pains and charge about the recoinage. Out Letters (North Britain) II, p. 164. |

Same to same of the petition of the Clerks of the Commissioners for Plantation of Kirks and Valuation of Teinds in Scotland [shewing that ? their commission or ? their salary] "were formerly given by Acts of Parliament and the Officers of State were always of the Commission or as such had right to be present, which was of no small consequence, for the business of that Court was chiefly about tythes wherein the Crown had very great concern both as to the proper lands of the Crown as patron of many churches and having often the revenues which belonged to bishops which were for the most part tythes." The jurisdiction of these Commissions has been by a late Act of Parliament in Scotland [Feb. 1706–7 Acta Parl. Scot., Vol. XII, pp. 424–31] transferred to the Lords of the Session so that the Officers of State cannot be present in the determining of causes relating considerably to the Crown. The Crown has particular clerks who have salaries, but the Queen has not given any salary to the Clerk of Commission, though 'tis plain by this alteration that the Crown loses considerably: therefore there is more reason that the Clerk of the Court should have a salary to encourage him to be more careful in what concerns the Crown: "and the said Clerks have been at a new charge for making up the records that were burnt by accident the 3rd of Feb. 1700; which deserves some consideration." Ibid., p. 165. |

Money order for 25l. to John Traver [Tarver] (who together with William Stewart is appointed to execute the office of Queen's Remembrancer in the Court of Exchequer in Scotland): for 1710 Lady day quarter on his additional salary allowed him in regard of his having left his practice here in order to apply himself to the said service. |
|
25l. to John Tyas (who with Colin Mackenzie is appointed to execute the office of Clerk of the Pipe in the Court of Exchequer in Scotland): for same quarter on the like allowance and in regard of the like consideration. Ibid., p. 176. Disposition Book XX, p. 174. |

Treasury reference to the Barons of the Exchequer in Scotland of the petition of the Rectors, Principals and Professors of the University of St. Andrew's setting forth their having a yearly allowance of 200l. granted out of the Customs in Scotland, to be distributed amongst the masters of the several Colleges according to their different necessities; that the same has been paid till Whitsunday 1707, from which time it becomes payable out of the Treasure of Great Britain: therefore praying that they may be put on the Civil List of Scotland for what is already due and that some part of the revenues may be appropriated for satisfying same for the future. Out Letters (North Britain) II, p. 185. |
