	Same to the Customs Commissioners of the petition of Mary Matthew of London, widow of Jonathan Matthew, shewing that she is prosecuted for 500l. on two bonds given by him, and that she has made several assignments to the amount of 2,500l., which is more than sufficient to cover the debt: therefore praying stay of prosecution.

Ibid., p. 202.
	Same to Sir Roger Mostyn [Paymaster of Marine Regiments]. My Lord Treasurer notices that the demands for the Marine Regiments are very imperfect and irregular in that they do not express for what particular Regiments or Companies the same are made nor for what time the last subsistence or clearings were paid to them respectively, "which [data] his Lordship always expects should be laid before him with such other particulars as are proper for his information." He therefore directs that you forthwith require the respective Agents of the said Regiments to make up and adjust with you the accounts of their respective Regiments so that it may plainly appear how far same have been subsisted and cleared, because till that is done my Lord cannot think it proper to issue any more money to them. In your memorials for money for the said Regiments you are also to distinguish how much thereof is for Officers that have not served with their Regiments abroad for any part of the time for which the demand is made.

Treasury reference to the Comptrollers of Army Accounts of the petition of Major General Handasyd, late Governor of Jamaica, where he had also the command of a Regiment of Foot, shewing that it was his care that in the musters of that Regiment no more were allowed than were actually effectives, that Officers were sent over to England to raise recruits as they were wanted for the Regiment, and it being her Majesty's direction that no more should be allowed than what appeared at the embarcation at Plymouth there was often very great diversion [of men] before that [embarcation] happened, which has brought the Officers under difficulties; that the recruiting Officers out of a zeal for her Majesty's service and in consideration of the constant mortality in that island did sometimes exceed the just number found to be wanting when they came over to recruit (though not what happened to be wanting at their return) and [the Officers] do therefore greatly suffer in having the whole levy money and subsistence of such supernumeraries charged upon their personal pay: further the Officers also lie under hardship in the respits of 8 pences on the non-effectives when only 6d. is allowed: therefore praying to be relieved in the premises and that the deduction of the pay of one man per Company out of the said Regiment as a provision for Officers' widows for the time past may be made good out of the moneys of the said Regiment.
