Ibid, p. 105. |
Same to same for a same for allowances in account
to be made as follows to the executors of Sir Thomas
Player, late Chamberlain of the city of London,
on his account of the Disbandment money as
follows. Under the [Second Disbandment] Act
of 29 Car. II, c. 1, 100,000l. was imprested to said
Player as a Commissioner for disbanding the Forces
New Raised since 1677, Sept. 29. In pursuance of
an order of the Commons of 1 James II said Player
exhibited his account of said sum and therein
craved allowance of 13,859l. 9s. 10d. paid to several
Forces by him disbanded ; 8,663l. 15s. 1d. transferred
to Sir Gilbert Gerrard, another of the Commissioners
for said Disbanding ; 9,046l. 18s. 10½d.
similarly transferred to Col. Roger Whitley, another
like Commissioner ; 25,105l. 3s. 4d. similarly
transferred to Col. John Birch, another like Commissioner ;
3,082l. 19s. 8d. paid to several tradesmen
and others who furnished the said army with clothes
and accoutrements ; 360l. 15s. 8d. paid for sundry
extraordinary charges relating thereto ; 42l. 5s. 8d.
paid to George Blackburne for corresponding with
persons deputed to disband part of said Forces
in the remote parts of the kingdom ; 62l. 10s. 0d.
paid to Thomas Corbyn for examining the accounts
of Lemuel Kingdon and others in the out-districts ;
20l. paid to William Jones, deputed with others
to disband the Forces in the Isle of Wight ;
38,291l. 18s. 6d. remitted upon bills of exchange
drawn by several persons deputed by him and the
other Commissioners for the disbandment of Forces
quartered in several remote parts of the kingdom
or paid here in London to several of the officers of
such Forces, which sum is to be set in super on
the deputy-commissioners concerned therein ;
1,716l. 13s. 4d. to the said Commissioners for their
pains and charges, being 2d. in the £ on their issues.
The said accounts have been examined by a
Committee of the House of Commons, before which
sundry vouchers were produced, though not so
regular as by the course of the Exchequer is required
"for that the soldiers of many Companies would
not trust their officers to receive their money for
them, but would every man for himself receive
what was due to him ; and to have taken an
acquittance from every soldier for those small
sums which remained due to each of them after
their landlords were paid for their quarters would
have been very tedious, and (as by them is alleged)
would have increased the charge by keeping the
army much longer undisbanded ; the substance
whereof was reported to the Committee, who
seemed well satisfied therewith." The abovecraved
allowances are hereby to be made and the
said Gerrard, Whitley and Birch are hereby to
render their several accounts of the sums so as above
paid to them. Further, the [abovesaid] allowance of
2d. per £ on their issues is hereby to be made to
said Commissioners not only on the said 100,000l.,
but also on any other sum actually raised under
the said Act and for the payment whereof the said
Commissioners have signed debentures. |

Privy seal authorising the Justices of the King's
Bench to make an allowance to prosecutors of
divers offences against the laws of the realm up to
the maximum of one third of the fines, recoveries
or forfeitures recovered and received to the King's use
thereon : all by reason that a great cause of the slackness
of the prosecution against such offenders is that
after the prosecutors have procured indictments,
presentments, actions of debt, informations and
scire facias to be awarded they have no recompense
for their pains and charges therein : most of which
offences are properly to be prosecuted in the King's
Bench : the Attorney General to certify as to the
prosecutor's charges and travail : the King's
Coroner and Attorney of the said Court to enter
such allowances on the rolls of the King's Bench
Court amongst the entries of the fines of the Court
and so to be extracted into the Exchequer, together
with the extract of the said fines and amercements.
(Royal warrant dated May 22 for said privy seal.) |

Same to authorise the non-prosecution, discharge

ships shall be driven into outports or foreign
countries by extreme force of winds, tempests or
weather or other necessity contrary to the wills
and minds of the owners or masters thereof and
there unladen : all as a merciful provision to avoid
the utter undoing of divers of the King's subjects
and other strangers using the traffic of merchandise
within these dominions : affidavit to be made as to
the said cause and certificate to be given by the
Customs Comptroller that the Customs on such
lading for which such bond is given have been
paid and discharged in some port of England or
Wales. In case of the evil practice of deceit
herein which certain covetous persons have used
in conveying such ships and goods out of the kingdom
the Treasury Lords or Chief Baron of the Exchequer
are hereby empowered to examine such cases and
to compound the forfeiture as they think fit, on
proof as before of the payment of Customs. (Royal
warrant dated May 22 for said privy seal.) |
