Same to the Surveyor General of Crown Lands for a particular and ratal of a long strip of ground lying on the east side of St. James's Park wall extending from William Storey's house at the south end next Long Ditch to Webb's house towards the north, being 570 foot long by 30 foot broad (including both Webb's and Storey's houses) and bounded on the east by an old drain or sewer which is since filled up and encroached upon by the late builders of the new street next adjoining (now called Duke Street) and not now left above 25 foot deep in most places : all with a view to a lease thereof to Sir Henry Fane for 31 years at 6s. 8d. per an. rent : with a covenant that the lessee shall make such compositions and agreements with the respective adjacent owners or inhabitants as the Treasury Lords shall approve and not to build thereon without said Lords' approval.
Prefixing : report by William Harbord, said Surveyor General, dated March 22 last, on said Fane's petition for same. The premises were petitioned for in 1681 by Henry Vaughane, who then proposed to give 500l. fine and 10l. per an. rent for 99 years' term if he might have liberty to build. They were petitioned for again in 1685 by Mris. Mary Gounter : on both which petitions Mr. Fisher reported, shewing that the premises were formerly in the hands of Edward Jolley, an ancient servant to Charles I, by licence [of] Philip, Earl of Pembroke, then keeper of Whitehall with the Cockpit and [St. James's] Park ; that said Jolley, having bestowed cost in building thereon, obtained a new grant thereof from the Duke of Albemarle when keeper of the said park : but in 1663 Charles II being informed that the said houses and ground were convenient for his service, commanded Sir Charles Harbord [then Surveyor General of Lands] to view same and contract with Jolley for his interest therein and he advised payment of 160l. (which Jolley had paid to said Duke for his said grant) and 100l. for his charges in building. Upon the payment of said 260l. and the surrender of said Jolley's interest the premises were delivered to Webb and same has been enjoyed by him and Storey for feeding and looking to the fowls and birds in the park. But this 260l. was not esteemed the full value, for the ground was the King's before, and the Duke's right was but as keeper for life and Jolley's interest was only an equitable one. Neither Vaughan nor Gounter obtained a grant of the premises and since the finishing and new building adjoining, several parts of the ground have been separated and used with the houses contiguous, the whole having been let by Webb to Moses Pitts, one of the builders, for 50l. per an., and by him [Pitts] to several others upon improvement. In 1687 Sir Edward Hales obtained a grant of 70 feet by 40 feet of the premises next to a house he had then lately purchased and 30 foot more northerly against a house in the possession of Avis Fashions, widow ; which was valued to him by Mr. Fisher at 5s. a foot or 17l. 10s. per an., but was passed for 31 years at 10l. per an. rent, with a power to erect kitchens thereon. There is about 100 foot more that lies adjoining the house late in possession of the late Lord Jefferyes, upon which very considerable buildings are erected at the charge of said Pitts, who made some proceedings towards a grant thereof by the help of said Jeffryes, who had (as is alleged) procured a warrant therefor from the late King James. But the grant was not perfected and Mr. Pitts' interest in the house adjoining is now disposed to Mr. Adiel Mills, a stationer in Paternoster Row : and this 100l. foot, considering its convenience to the great house adjoining, may well be worth a ground rent of 10s. a foot. The remainder (except Sir Edward Hales's) is about 400 foot (including both Webb's and Storey's) and will be 100l. rent if valued at 5s. per foot front, as Sir Edward Hales's was, and as some of the others have agreed to pay to the assigns of Webb, who claims the custody of the whole by permission from the Crown. This total rent of 150l. may be capable of some farther improvement if the lessee may have liberty to build.

Treasury warrant to Thomas Heseltine, Clerk of Assize in York, to deliver to Benj. Overton, Warden of the Mint, the 83 ounces of clippings and one ounce of filings in your custody, which were produced in evidence against one Baynes by the Mayor of Pontefract at the last Summer Assizes for co.
