ruin to petitioners ; that not knowing of the said Act
petitioners distilled their wash into low wines after
the time limited by said Act, and are now charged
by the Excise officers 12d. for every gallon of low

2d. per gallon of spirit ; that petitioners being the
poorest of their trade were not inserted in a former

has paid at several times to Roger Sizer, deputed
for that purpose by the Earl of Ranelagh,
278,354l. 5s. 0d. for the use of the English Forces
in Flanders, as appears by said Schulenburg's
accounts thereof transmitted to the Treasury
Lords : and for his repayment and the reimbursement
of his charges "which he pretends he was at
for the exchange thereof and otherwise" the said
Schulenburg received in money from the said Earl
2,800l. and did further, by himself or George Clifford,
his correspondent, draw bills on said Earl of Ranelagh
for the sum of 290,324l. 2s. 0d., making altogether
293,124l., which exceeds the said 278,354l. 5s. 0d.
by the said sum of 14,769l. 17s. 0d., which is judged
reasonable to be allowed to said Earl in his account,
"notwithstanding [the fact that] the said Schulenburg
hath not yet given such satisfaction to the
Commissioners of our Treasury as is necessary to
show how the said charges amount to the said sum
of 14,769l. 17s. 0d." : and further secondly the

Same to the Auditor of the Receipt. The Treasury
Lords notice that there are divers payments comprehended
in the account of secret services which
might more properly be placed on the [head of]
account of bounties in the Exchequer, and that
the reason why the said payments have hitherto
been made out of the moneys issued for secret
services was only to ease the persons who received
the same (many of them being very poor) from
paying the high fees which in strictness are due.
It is resolved that for the future such payments
shall be made at the Exchequer to the said persons
in their own names ; but nevertheless it is intended
that it should be done with as little charge to them
as may be. My Lords therefore desire you to give
order that such poor persons who have usually
been paid his Majesty's bounty out of moneys
appointed for secret service and such others whose
circumstances you shall judge to deserve mitigation
in this behalf may for the future receive their
moneys at the Exchequer upon payment of no
more fees than if they had been [paid] out of secret
service [and this is to rule] throughout all the
offices in the Receipt "if you have no objection
thereunto." |
