Treasury warrant to Thomas Fox, Customs Cashier.
The Receivers of Taxes demand that in the [case
of the officers of] the port of London the present
taxes of 2s. and 12d. in the £ [1 Wm. and Mary,
Sess. 2, c. 1 and c. 5] be paid at one entire payment
for the whole year. To the officers of the Customs
who hold during pleasure this proves very unequal
if not impracticable, it often falling out that they
die or are removed in one quarter. The Customs
Commissioners have therefore desired us, the
Treasury Lords, to advance the money for said
taxes for such officers holding during pleasure and
that same be defalced by four quarterly payments
out of their salary as it becomes payable and so
pro rata for those that serve a lesser time, whereby
each officer will equally bear his proportion of tax
and where an interval occurs between death or
removal and the admission of a successor that the
tax for said interim period [be paid out of the
salary saved to the King by the interim]. We
agree thereto and you are hereby to act accordingly. |

The Treasury Lords to Sir Eliab Harvey and the rest

Agents for Taxes the account of the 149l. paid to
Mr. Wroth, one of your number [being money
received] upon the Additional Poll. We enclose

the receiver [for your county], has hitherto acquitted
himself well in paying his moneys into the Exchequer,
we think that what the Agents propose will be
most conducible for the King's service. We have
no reason to doubt that the receiver will conform
himself to his duty. |

Treasury warrant to the Customs Commissioners
establishing eight riding officers for the guard of
the Kentish coast (to prevent the carrying of
wool into France and bringing over uncustomed
and prohibited goods by the French privateers) :
at a salary of 60l. per an. each as in lieu of
the two sloops now employed : said officers to be
David Russen and Thomas Hatton at Lydd ;
Henry Broadly and Edward Anderson at Romney ;
John Knight and Edward Furlong at Hythe and
William Whatton and Robert Underwood at
Folkeston : to be removed or exchanged from one
station to another as may be found convenient :
by which method 1,008l. 4s. 0d. per an. will be
saved out of the establishment of said two sloops,
the present charge of which is 1,488l. 4s. 0d. per an. :
viz. the sloop Enquiry, Peter Knight commander,
who by a Treasury warrant of 1689, June 11, had
an addition of eight men to his complement of
11 men and a boy ; and the Observator sloop,
John Knight commander, who by the same warrant
had 20 men added to make his complement 30
men. The present warrant is by reason of the
Customs Commissioners' memorial of the 12th inst.
based on the report of Mr. Breton, customer and
collector of Dover, and Mr. Colchester, surveyor,
who was sent to inspect the several ports in Kent
and Sussex, to the effect that the great number of
French privateers upon the coast have in effect
rendered both the said sloops useless, which (though
they generally keep together) are not strong enough
to prevent the said privateers from bringing over
prohibited goods. |
