Same to Mr. Knight [Customs Cashier]. Mr. Blathwayt
[as Auditor of the Plantations] has presented
to my Lords the enclosed account [missing see
supra, pp. 1081-5] stated by him of the duty of 14d.
per ton for ships coming from the Province of
Maryland in one year ended 1690, Aug. 22, and
of the 2s. per hogshead on tobacco exported thence
in the said ships, being payable by the laws of
Maryland ; whereby it appears that 1,730l. 19s. 0d.
is due from the masters of 26 ships mentioned in
the enclosed list of ships [supra, pp. 1084-5], which
came from Maryland before 1690, Aug. 22, without
entering or clearing with the Naval Officer there
and for which no duty bills have been remitted.
You are to call upon the masters of the said 26
ships and to receive from them the said sum of
1,730l. 19s. 0d., which, with the value of two bills
delivered to you or [your predecessor] Mr. [Thomas]
Fox by Mr. John Coode and Mr. Kenelme Cheseldyne,
Agents of Maryland, for 49l. 6s. 0d., drawn upon
Richard Marsh and John Rose and to be in like

until, upon returning [to my Lords] an account of
your proceeding herein, you receive my Lords'
directions for the disposal of the same.
I send you likewise enclosed a list [missing] of
divers bills of exchange drawn upon several merchants
for the impost of the moiety of the 2s. per
hogshead and powder money arising in Maryland,
supra, p. 1323. For these bills you are to call upon

for same and thereupon receive the value from the
said merchants : and to return the like accounts
thereof as above with all speed. |

The Treasury Lords to the Commissioners of Accounts.
We have received yours of the 24th ult., containing
several queries relating to secret service moneys.
In answer thereto we must desire you to be referred
to our letter of the 21st ult., supra, pp. 1313-4, giving
you an account of the method whereby the secret
service money has usually been issued, whereof we
have no otherwise cognizance than that the Chancellor
of the Exchequer (who happened to be out
of town when we wrote our [said] last letter) by
the King's direction does use to examine the
acquittances and see that the same do answer the
sums contained in the schedules or lists which his
Majesty signs from time to time for allowing the
payments of this kind, but without our knowing
for what uses those sums have been so issued, which
we think it no part of our duty to inquire into ;
and must therefore refer you (in case you desire
any further satisfaction) to the proper persons
therein concerned. |
Ibid, p. 144. |

informed that you have only paid 10,284l. 0s. 7d.

Treasury warrant to William Harbord, Surveyor
General of Crown Lands, for a particular of premises
as follows, with a view to a grant to Edward Lloyd,
esq., of a moiety of the reserved rent of 20l. per an.,
together with [a grant of] the whole arrears thereon.
Prefixing : note of the report, dated Sept. 21 last,
from Sir Geo. Treby, Attorney General, on Edward
Lloyd's petition, referred ut supra, p. 1288. I find
that Charles I, by great seal dated 1625, May 8,
granted to Sir Edward Villiers, kt., and his heirs
certain lands called Malescott, alias Maylescott, in
the Forest of Dean, co. Gloucester, under a reserved
rent of 20l. per an. to the King. By privy seal of
1676, July, Charles II released to Edward Villiers, esq.,
all arrears of the said rent grown due before 1676,
March. Inasmuch as it appears to me that the
said rent is not in charge with the Auditor or Receiver
[General of Crown Lands] for co. Gloucester, it is
manifest that same has been concealed from the
Crown for some considerable time and I conceive
their Majesties have a good title thereto and to all
arrears thereof accrued since 1676, and may grant
petitioner said arrears and a moiety of said rent
for his charge and trouble in discovering the said
concealment. |

Lieutenant of said Forest and Master Keeper of
said Walk, has petitioned the Treasury setting forth
the absolute necessity of building a watch house
and stable on the Great Lawn for the preservation
of their Majesties' deer and to prevent the frequent
coursing used of late by the deer stealers on horseback
and further praying the repair of the tiling
and drains of his lodge ; on which petition said
Ryley reported Sept. 14 last that the forest has of
late been much infested with frequent coursing by
deer stealers and that the building the watch house
will cost 50l. 18s. 0d. and the said tiling and drains
will cost 28l. and 12l. 14s. 0d., making a total of
91l. 12s. 0d., besides 4½ load of timber. |

paying at Lady day next the abovesaid further
sum of 2,100l. without allowance of interest thereon :
and with power to them to open, erect, use etc.
the said Royal Oak Lottery and other lotteries as
above in any place in England, Wales and Berwick
except in places of worship : with power to depute
Commissioners, officers etc. : with prohibition to anyone
else to erect such lotteries : with clause for reassumption

become due within the same period for rents resolute
