September 1712

Sept. 22. William Lowndes to the Commissioners of the Lottery [anno 1710] to report on the enclosed bill [missing] of Samuell Edwin, Usher of the Receipt, for necessaries delivered by him for the service of said Lottery and the workmen's bills for repairing the Office for same. Out Letters (General) XX, p. 277.
Warrant by Treasurer Oxford to the Customs Commissioners to cause John Long (who formerly acted for the Comptroller and Searcher of Shoreham and Brighthelmstone and was employed in the wool business) to reside as a riding officer for the wool business at Brighthelmstone with the salary of 90l. per annum.
Prefixing: two reports by said Commissioners dated July 24 last and Sept. 16 inst. We received complaints from the Collector of Shoreham of Long's non-attendance of his duty as Deputy Comptroller and Searcher there. On the 26 Jan. 1709–10 he was charged therewith and owned in writing that he was obliged to reside at Bright-[helms]ton to execute the duty of riding officer in the wool business, his station being four miles to the eastward and Shoreham being five miles to the westward he could not constantly attend his said duty at Shoreham, and that he was informed by Capt. Baker, Surveyor General of the riding officers of the wool business, that it was absolutely necessary he should reside at Bright[helmst]on. We then directed him to reside there, but to go over to Shoreham at least once a week and to be careful of his duty of Comptroller and Searcher: but finding no result thereof we directed Mr. Haslen, Controller of Sussex, to appoint another Deputy at Shoreham, the duty of a Deputy Comptroller being inconsistent with that of a riding officer and searcher. Mr. Haslen has appointed John Pelham accordingly. We propose that Long be no longer continued on the Establishment as Deputy, but that he be appointed riding officer for the wool business only, to reside at Brighton with 90l. per an., being the same that is allowed to the rest of the riding officers on that coast to enable them to keep a servant and two horses. Out Letters (Customs) XV, pp. 448–9.

Further the said allowances are hereby to be paid to the said Constable as above to be by him paid as above, "it being our royal intention that the said allowances shall for the future be received and paid according to the said former method." Queens Warrant Book XXV, pp. 310–11.

My Lord Treasurer expects that in your reports on the above or on any others that may be hereafter sent to you you let him know (where the demands are reasonable) that he is enabled by the public supplies to answer the same and propose how and in what manner such reasonable demands may be satisfied.
