William Jephson to the Attorney and Solicitor General and to Sir Charles Hedges, Judge of the High Court of Admiralty. The Commissioners for Prizes have represented to the Treasury Lords that several private undertakers would take out letters of marque from the Admiralty Court here and [would] pass to the West Indies, but are restrained by an obligation required from them to send home all their prizes ; whereto they object the hazard of the voyage, the danger of their [the prizes] being re-taken, the disfurnishing their own ships of men and that the goods are sometimes of a perishable nature. The Treasury Lords having heard your opinions in that matter desire you, with the Prizes Commissioners, to draw up for my Lords the form of a bond whereby such adventurers may be left at liberty to resort to the next judicature [port] where a Court [of Admiralty] is or shall be erected by their Majesties' authority for the trial and adjudication of prizes ; but that the account of the proceed of the said prizes when required shall be given here in England.

Nov. 8. William Jephson to the Customs Commissioners. The Treasury Lords have considered your report of Aug. 23 last on the complaint against Mr. Warren, customer of Plymouth, for the escape of two French [ships'] commanders committed to his care. It appears by certificate of Sir Nicholas Slanning, Deputy Governor of Plymouth, and Lieut.-Col. Trelawney that after the Deputy Governor had refused to receive the said prisoners into the citadel and the Major [Mayor] refused to put them in the common gaol the said Lieut.-Col. Trelawney and the rest of the officers of that Regiment gave Mr. Warren their opinions and advice that there was not a more fit place for securing them than that into which they were put, and that there was always a strong guard of soldiers placed upon them. And the Earl of Bath certifies that he conceives Mr. Warren could do no more than he did. Mr. Lytcott also certifies that Warren has held his office for many years and faithfully discharged his trust therein. These certificates are made since your report.

But I think it may be proper for the Commissioners to let the assessors know that if they wilfully under-rate persons contrary to their knowledge they are liable to be prosecuted by way of indictment." You are to govern yourselves according to this opinion. Ibid.
Same to the like Commissioners at Doncaster in co. Yorks. My Lords referred to the above Solicitor General yours of the 2nd inst. concerning the assessing of practising attorneys and officers of the Excise. His opinion, dated Nov. 5 inst., is as follows : "I am of opinion there is nothing in the Act which does warrant the assessing of attorneys for their practice ; but I conceive the officers of the Excise are to be assessed for their employments." Govern yourselves accordingly. Ibid.

Warrants not Relating to Money XIII, p. 110.
Nov. 12. William Jephson to Mr. Blathwayte to lay before the Committee for the Affairs of Ireland the following presentment.
Appending : said presentment, dated Nov. 9, from the Customs Commissioners on the subject matter of the letter from Mr. Fryth of Chester, concerning the inconvenience of bringing ships to Park Gate, New Quay and Denwall in Chester port if employed on his Majesty's service, ut supra, p. 292. The collector of Chester port to whom we referred the matter has represented thereon that for ships of great burthen which cannot when laden lie aground without prejudice Park Gate is not so convenient. But that ships of Chester, Liverpool and Whitehaven are not of the [said] sort, for they are built chiefly for the coal trade and are used to lie aground and for such ships Park Gate is most convenient, and that these ships being chiefly employed on that [the King's] service the Commissioners presenting their bills of lading at the Custom House may have such speedy despatches that a tide may not be lost. He therefore desires that a proviso be added to the order that such ships as cannot so lie aground, by reason of their burden or fashion of build, they may take in their lading at Hoylake.

William Jephson to the Customs Commissioners.

Therefore take it off : but withal take the ordinary care to prevent the passing [over sea] of such persons as have no [passes or] allowance for it. Out Letters (General)XII, p. 124.
Same to Mr. Harbord, enclosing extracts [missing] of several of Mr. Shales's letters, in which he says he is ready to give in his accounts to you. It is the King's pleasure that you make the deductions according to the orders formerly agreed upon at the Treasury, not exceeding 4d. for every soldier ; and that although the Commissary General has made no exact return of what provisions are delivered out, yet you should have made deductions out of the subsistence according to the best conjecture that you could make, for want of which 'tis feared the King may suffer some loss. To prevent this, the Treasury Lords recommend you to call Mr. Shales to an account, since he says he is ready to make it when required. Out Letters (Ireland) VI, p. 10.
Same to the abovesaid Shales, enclosing an extract [missing] of a paper from the abovesaid Harbord complaining that though you have been often solicited, yet you have made no returns of the provisions delivered to the Army [in Ireland], by reason whereof no money has yet been stopped out of the subsistence money of said Forces on that account.

The Treasury Lords to the Lord Mayor of London. On the 9th inst. the House of Commons voted that they will take care that persons advancing up to 300,000l. on the 12d. Subsidy [Aid] Bill should have their debts transferred to the [2s.] Subsidy now granted in case the other fall short. By the King's command we are to let you know that his affairs at this instant (before the supplies which are intended can be settled in a Parliamentary way and be made effectual) are very much streightened for want of money for the Navy and for the reducing of Ireland and other important uses ; therefore desiring that the city will make loans into the Exchequer on the security of the 12d. Aid or (as above) in case of deficiency then the security to be supplied out of the new Aids. The King has had so many proofs of the city's zeal in his service that he believes that they will comply herewith in some considerable proportion. We therefore recommend to you to call a Common Council and to communicate to them this letter. Out Letters (General) XII, p. 124.
