as may be thought fit to be spared. |
Warrants not Relating to
Money XIII, pp. 439-41. |
Prefixing : (a) report dated June 10 last from William
Harbord, Surveyor General of Crown Lands, on
said Mitchell's petition, as referred to him Jan. 2
last, supra, p. 965. He alleges that the premises
have been occupied by his ancestors for 200 years
past. I find no survey thereof or of the Honor
of Windsor expressing more than the rent. From
perusal of petitioner's deeds I find that the messuage
was granted by Queen Mary to Dorothy Wright for
31 years from 1556, Lady day, and by Queen
Elizabeth 1568, April 17, to Robert Raunston
and Freeman Young for 21 years in reversion and
again 1568, Dec. 30, to Humphrey Mitchell for
21 years, and again 1590, July 7, to said Mitchell
for 21 years ; and Charles I granted a further term
of 31 years in 1635 to Will. Gwyn and William
Loving, and in 1670 Charles II granted a like term
to Tho. Windham, esq., which last two terms and
those first mentioned were assigned to petitioner's
predecessors. The premises consist of a large
old decayed house, useless at present, and eight
acres of orchard, and have been let for 12 years
past at 8l. 10s. 0d. per an. The materials of the
old house are valued at 122l. and Mitchell obliges
himself to spend 200l. more on rebuilding the house
with brick.
The other lands, called in the petition the three
tenements, were granted 1624, June 29, to Anne
Duke, with reversion to John Mitchell and Humphrey
Mitchell (whereof the last life is in being), and
again in 1635 to William Gwynn and William
Loving. Petitioner has an interest therein for
the life in being and 31 years after, so I cannot
advise any extension of term therein, the same
being already leased for a longer term than I can
advise. |

Surveyor General to rate a fine. |

viz. : part of the lands of the forfeited
estate of the Earl of Antrim were lately set
by the Revenue Commissioners, Ireland, to
William Conolly, gent., as agent for the said Mayor
and commonalty, for 1,356l. for one year to All
Saints next and the arrears for one year before
for 1,079l., as appears by the report of June 28
last from the said Commissioners to the Treasury
Lords : and the Queen, considering the eminent
services of the city in the defence thereof in 1689
and being informed that during that siege the
Great Church, the Town Hall, School House, main
guard house, gates and other public buildings were
ruined or very much shattered and do now want
to be rebuilt or repaired, is pleased for that purpose
to grant them 1,500l., part of the 1,356l. and
1,079l. rents payable for the said lands so set as
above. |
Out Letters (Ireland) VI,

Lynn, of moneys amounting to 139l. 0s. 6d. similarly

Commissioners allege that they cannot give credit
in the collectors' accounts for such disbursements.
They therefore desire that tallies on the Customs

My Lords agree to the above proposal and will
accordingly issue their warrant for striking the said
tallies. Please say if you have any objection to
offer thereto. |

Treasury order to the Customs Commissioners to
observe (a) infra.
Prefixing : (a) Order of the Privy Council, dated
Whitehall, Aug. 27 inst., to cause bonds in the
form hereby approved to be taken from the masters
of English ships and, further, two sufficient sureties
accordingly, viz. for their not dealing with the
enemy (except from ships bound to their Majesties'
Plantations, for whom another [form of] bond is
already directed [see supra, p. 1283]) : all by reason
that on the 13th inst. the Treasury Lords were desired
[by the Privy Council] to frame such a bond for
merchants and other trading persons to hinder their
trading with the enemy, and the said Lords have so
prepared the form as above in consultation with the
Customs Commissioners. And the Treasury Lords are
hereby further to direct the Customs Commissioners
to do their utmost to hinder foreigners from carrying
to the enemy any coals, lead, copperas, naval
stores or any contraband goods and to that end
to cause all foreigners to enter into bond "under
the condition likewise hereunto annexed" with two
sufficient sureties.
[None of the forms of said bonds are entered.] |
