September 1710



Sept. 1.	Treasury warrant to Robert Walpole and the Navy Commissioners to give to the Bank of England tallies on the Land Tax anno 1710 in lieu of tallies on the [third, fourth and fifth] General Mortgage: as follows: the said Bank did for the welfare and support of the credit of the Exchequer advance at several times sundry sums amounting to 62,898l. 15s. 7d. to pay interest of loans registered there [in the Exchequer] on the General Mortgages for the years 1707 [third General Mortgage], 1708 [fourth General Mortgage] and 1709 [fifth General Mortgage], and for such loans did receive tallies and orders on the said General Mortgages respectively as follows:
		£	s.	d.
	tallies and orders in the name of Sir Henry Furnese for so much lent at the Exchequer 1708 Nov. 22 on credit of the General Mortgage anno 1707 registered in course with 6 per cent. interest after 883,991l. 0s. 4d.	12,335	14	5
	ditto in the name of John Taylour, for so much lent at the Exchequer 1709 April 21 on credit of the same General Mortgage and registered with interest, ut supra, after 901,011l. 14s. 9d.	20,563	1	2
	ditto in the name of same, for so much lent 1709–10 Feb. 25 on credit of the General Mortgage anno 1708 and registered with interest, ut supra, after 758,0861l. 1s. 11¾d.	10,936	0	2

		£62,898	15	7
	And it appears that a like sum of 62,898l. 15s. 7d. was issued to the Treasurer of the Navy 1709–10 Feb. 25 out of loans made by himself on credit of the Land Tax anno 1710, which sum (or the tallies and orders of that date for the same and bearing the like 6 per cent. interest from that date) were intended to be assigned by said Treasurer of the Navy to said Bank as in lieu of the abovesaid tallies on the said several General Mortgages. The said Treasurer is therefore hereby to effect said exchange.
	And as it appears that the said Bank has not received any interest on the said tallies and orders on the several General Mortgages, the said Navy Treasurer is to agree to an account of the said interest with the said Bank and thereupon the Navy Commissioners are to make out a Navy Bill after the method of their Office for the sum appearing to be so due and to assign same for payment out of any money in the Navy Treasurer's hands arisen by the sale of stores or by any other casualties whatsoever. And in regard the said Navy Treasurer will by this means be entitled to receive all the interest on the said tallies on the General Mortgages from the dates thereof to the time they shall come in course of payment the Navy Treasurer is to enter this warrant with the Auditors of Imprests so that they may surcharge him with said interest in his yearly account.

	"Upon which we must observe to your Lordship [Treasurer Godolphin] that the powder was given ad usum expeditionis which we conceive ought to extend to the powder delivered to the Forces in Spain and Gibraltar as well as Portugal: besides which there have been great quantities of powder expended in the Garrisons and [Artillery] Trains in Spain which is not included in this account. Warrants not Relating to Money XXI, pp. 161–2.

	Same to Thomas Morrice Esq. I have received yours from Lisbon of the 29th ult., new style, wherein you acquaint me that all the money in your hands and what you are able to draw will not answer the demands that run upon you and that nothing can be expected from thence [? Lisbon] on any account whatsoever. Having read same to the Treasury Lords they apprehend that you have already broken into the 400,000 Crowns (part of the moneys remitted to you) which you were directed by the late Lord Treasurer not to lessen or diminish on any account whatsoever, because it was intended to answer a draft made for [repayment of] a like sum taken up by Lieut. Gen. Stanhope from the Canton of Berne. My Lords on this occasion command me to tell you that besides the said directions from the late Lord Treasurer the Queen's commands have been signified to you by Lord Dartmouth, Secretary of State, to the like purpose and by my Lords' directions like orders have been repeated to you by Mr. Brydges whose Deputy you are. Wherefore their lordships require you immediately upon receipt hereof to send them an account of all the money you have received since the 1st of January last and of the particular expenditure and applications thereout, that is to say what numbers of effective men have been paid therewith, how far their pay is carried on and whether any of the said money had been applied to any other uses than those for which it was remitted; and what directions you have had for so doing and from whom and how much remains in your hands.
	P.S.—My Lords having procured a credit from Sir Hen. Furnese for 50,000l. in Lisbon do direct you (in case you have made use of any part of the 400,000 Crowns, which they did not think you would attempt) immediately to replace it out of the 50,000l. Ibid., p. 223.
	Treasury reference to Mr. Walpole [as Secretary at War] of the petition of the four children of the late Lieut. John Calder of Major Gen. Howe's Regiment shewing that their case was considered by the General Officers of the Army but the sudden departure of the Duke of Marlborough prevented their making any report thereon; that their father was killed at the Castle of Oudenard; that their mother enjoyed the Queen's bounty to Officers' widows until her death in January 1708–9, by which means they were supported till that time: but they are now in a miserable condition with nothing to subsist them, the eldest being but 12 and the youngest two years old. Reference Book VIII, p. 422.
	Same to the Auditors of Imprests of the petition of Moses Giraudeau, clerk to the Treasurer of the Chamber, shewing that he has paid several extraordinary payments in pursuance of several warrants from the Lord Chamberlain and likewise in pursuance of the late Lord Treasurer [Godolphin's] orders: but not being strictly within the rule of the Establishment of that [Treasurer of the Chamber's] Office the Auditor will not allow same in the Treasurer of the Chamber's accounts: therefore praying the usual royal warrant for allowing these extraordinary payments. Ibid.
Sept. 5.	Treasury reference to William Vanbrugh of the petition of Thomas Brand, her Majesty's Writer and Embellisher of letters to the Eastern Princes, setting forth that he having with much pains and expense of sight embellished on two skins of vellum an exemplification of the Act of Parliament [7 Anne, c. 12] concerning privileges of Ambassadors (which was an extraordinary service and not comprehended under his salary) "therefore he humbly prays the usual allowance of 10l. per skin." Reference Book VIII, p. 422.
	Same to the Customs Commissioners of the petition of Walter Harford, who became a security in 500l. for John Weaver, collector of Customs at Portsmouth, about 25 years since, shewing that Weaver behaved himself well in his office but being at last very infirm left his accounts somewhat unsettled at his death and the Customs Commissioners appointed Richard Spearing to state and settle said accounts, who ran away with the cash book and papers and robbed Weaver's widow and nothing heard of him since, "so that it did not appear that Weaver died in arrears to the Office": therefore petitioner prays release of his bond, he being in a deplorable condition. Ibid.
	Same to the Warden &c. of the [Tower] Mint of the petition of Walter Boswall, Counterwarden and Comptroller of the Mint at Edinburgh, shewing that since the Union the said Mint is put as near as possible in the same order and method as the Mint at the Tower and in consequence thereof an additional office is put upon petitioner viz. of Weigher and Teller whereby he is obliged to more constant trouble and attendance and he is likely further to have added on him the office of Surveyor of the Meltings, which offices of Weigher and Teller and Surveyor are separate and distinct offices and by the Indenture of the Tower [Mint] have separate and distinct salaries: seeing therefore that the salary of 60l. per an. is neither suitable to his character nor answerable to his pains, charge and trouble nor in proportion to the other officers therefore he prays consideration for the three years past and some additional salary. Ibid., p. 423.
	Same to same of the petition of James Penman, Assaymaster of the Mint at the Tower, in behalf of himself and of the children of John Borthwick, late Assaymaster there; shewing that said Borthwick (being Assaymaster at the [time of the] late recoinage in Scotland with Dr. Gregorie) was sent down thither [from London to Edinburgh] by her Majesty to put the said Mint in the order and method of the London Mint and for despatch it was found necessary that he should have one to assist him and another to keep his books, and therefore the said Doctor and the Directing Officers ordered him to provide himself accordingly, which Borthwick did and continued in that office from Sept. 1707 to May 1708, at which time it pleased God he died leaving a destitute family of small children and the occasion of his death is attributed to the extraordinary toil and fatigue which he endured in that great [recoinage] work; and petitioner being admitted to that office after Borthwick's death exercised same by an assistant and clerk to March 1709 when the recoinage ended: therefore prays an allowance (for himself and in behalf of the said widow and children) for "their" extraordinary care and fatigue therein, being forced to give larger fees and salaries to their respective clerks and assistants, and the salary of 100l. cannot bear such extraordinary charge: therefore prays some gratification for himself and in behalf of the widow and children of Borthwick. Ibid.
Sept. 5.	Same to the Customs Commissioners of the petition of Simon Francia of London, merchant, shewing that he lately bought the ship Fidelle Fanory, taken as prize by her Majesty's ship Montague, and brought into Plymouth laden with fish, salt, train oil, blubber and fish roes; that the said lading is not able to pay Custom and is of a perishing nature and will be damaged by transhipment; therefore praying that she may be permitted with her lading to sail to some [foreign] market. Ibid., p. 424.
	Same to Mr. Borrett of the petition of Edward Orrill setting forth his services done March 2 last in discovering George Purchase, the Bayley, (who was condemned for high treason) at the late rising of the Sacheverell mob and other his services: therefore praying her Majesty's reward of 100l. promised by her Proclamation. Ibid.
	Same to Mr. Walpole of the petition of Lieut. Col. Delaunay, Lieut. Col. of Lieut. Gen. Gorges' Regiment, praying removal of the respits on the offreckonings of said Regiment in order to [enable the Officers to] discharge the debt due for clothing and to put them on the same foot with other Regiments.

	Same to same. The Lords of the Justiciary in Scotland have represented to the Treasury Lords that it is highly necessary that money should be forthwith imprested for defraying the charge of their next ensuing circuit. Please pay 1,500l. to their order out of Excise money to defray the charges of the next ensuing circuit as well in respect of entertainment of the said Lords of Justiciary as for salaries &c. to the officers attending them and for all other expenses relating thereto.

	The Treasury Lords to the said Lords of Justiciary, informing them of the above.
