A demand is made here [London] for a supply of

to be shipped off from Cork and other ports of
Ireland. It being known to us that a considerable
quantity of cheese has been lately furnished from
hence for the service of the Forces in their quarters

soldiers so to be shipped be supplied from thence
and if any further quantity be wanting for the
subsistence of the Forces that remain there we
will, upon your signification, order the provision of
so much as shall be necessary.
In the stated accompt which we have lately

the columns that are imperfect. We desire you
to send Mr. Robinson over hither with all possible
expedition in order to adjust that computation,
unless you have any objections to the contrary. |

Same to Mr. Harbord. Surveyor General of Crown
Lands, for a constat or particular of the piece of
ground near St. James's Park, where the five ice
houses now stand, in order to a lease thereof under
the Exchequer seal to Francis Parry for 61 years
at the rent of 6s. 8d. per an. with a covenant for
him to build three ice houses as follows for their
Majesties' service at a cost of 250l. and in such
manner as shall be approved by the Surveyor
General of Works.
Prefixing : said Harbord's report, dated Nov. 7 last,
on the premises. I have considered my several
reports of Mar. 31 last on Mr. Frontin's petition,
and of Oct. 19 last on Mr. Parry's petition. Frontin
proposes to take down the five ice houses and instead
thereof to build two more commodious ones for
their Majesties' service within the said park near
where one already stands and to wall them in with
a brick wall, and a third ice house at Hampton
Court, offering to lay out 250l. therein.
The piece of ground in question contains 155 foot
in length towards the park, and of this piece Parry
desires to have 30 foot in front towards Rossington
Street, adjoining to a house lately built by one
Martin, at the south end of the said ground, and
about 58 foot in length on the park side where
the same falls in with a corner of the said Martin's
house.
This ground is near 60 foot deep and was valued
by Sir Christopher Wren and myself at 5s. per
foot at the narrower part by Martin's house and
at 7s. 6d. per foot at the other broader part, which
comes in all to 53l. 15s. 0d. per an. Frontin has
agreed to a lease to Parry and to take an assignment
from him of a part and desires that the lease may
be for such a number of years as may encourage
them to build houses thereon for their respective
habitations and submits the consideration of his
losses by Customs for wine imported in uncertain cask. |

Jerome Collins, distiller, did distil from a quantity
of wash made from decayed raisins and other
foreign fruit which he had by him on the 22 Dec.
last and from which he distilled 323 gallons of low

which he stands charged in the Excise Office with
8d. per gallon) he has since drawn down 316 gallons
of spirits of the second extraction, for which he
also stands charged with 2d. per gallon : but the
Excise Commissioners being willing to discharge
the said duties on his paying the duty of 6d. per
gallon on the said 316 gallons of spirits, in consideration
that he bought the said raisins and
made the same into wash for distillation and distilled
a part thereof before the making and passing the
said Act. |

Same to same [as Auditor General of the Plantations],
enclosing memorials that have been presented to

My Lords desire you to consider same and to give

the other revenues therein mentioned and how
they are at present disposed of. |
Ibid, p. 174. Out Letters
(Plantations Auditor) 1,
pp. 346-51. |
Followed by : said memorials : (a) is apparently an
abstract of a case submitted or of a speech made
by James Blair as agent for Virginia in this
matter, before the Privy Council, presenting
the prayer for the grant of a charter for a Free
School and College in Virginia of which the General
Assembly of Virginia prays the establishment
for the education of their youths and the constant
supply of their ministry ; to be erected at a certain
place which they have named on York river near
the centre of their country. (For an abstract of this
paper see Cal. S.P. Dom., America and West Indies.
1689-92, pp. 575-6.) The constant government
thereof to be committed to 20 persons, viz. the
President, the other Professor of Divinity and
18 persons chosen [for whose names see ubi supra.
p. 452], being the Governor, four of the Council.
four of the clergy and nine of the other gentry,
and 13 thereof at least to be the constant Senate,
with power to choose amongst themselves a Rector
and to manage the revenues and to present to
vacant places and to govern by such local statutes
at they shall think fit, provided these statutes
be not contrary to the laws of England, nor Virginia,
nor to the Canons or Constitutions of the Church
of England : every member of the Senate to take
the Oath of Allegiance and the Test as a proof of
fidelity and orthodoxy : and with liberty to choose
a Chancellor every seven years "here in England,"
so that they may have a constant patron and friend
at Court.
[As to the 2,000l. in bank and unappropriated,
arisen from quit rents in Virginia and which the
Agent prays a grant of, he asserts that] "both
King Charles and King James have by their letters
promised the country [of Virginia] that the quit
rents shall be employed for the country's service
and for no other use whatsoever." [As to this item.
see ubi supra, pp. 672-3.]
[As to the tax imposed by Act of Parliament,
25 Car. II, c. 7, of 1d. per lb., the Agent continues
as follows.] There is a penny per lb. laid by Act
of Parliament upon all tobacco exported out of
Virginia and Maryland to any part of the world except
[or unless bond be given as in said Act etc.]. This
imposition turns to little or no account to their
Majesties for the collectors of it are allowed one
half, the Comptroller who revises their accounts
has one quarter and the fourth which is for their
Majesties is so loaded with charges of boats and
sloops, men and horse made use of in collecting it
that it is almost eaten up. If the King would order
said imposition to be paid to the College, "they
would take care to have the Act duly executed,
to the great benefit of England, and out of this
Custom in Virginia and Maryland they might raise
a revenue of 4 or 500l. a year."
[As to the grants of 10,000 acres in Blackwater
Swamp and of the like in Pomunky Neck between
the forks of York River, the Agent continues] the
College would thankfully accept same, "especially
if they should have it paying only a couple of copies
of verses."
[As to the desired grant of the vacant office of
Surveyor General of Virginia, the Agent asserts
that] such officer appoints the inferior surveyors
in each county and has some part of their profit.
[For the rest of the paper, see ubi supra.] |
(b) A memorial concerning the clergy in Virginia
[being like the preceding memorial notes of a speech
or petition by the abovesaid agent Blair, by
the desire of the Lieut. Governor and the whole
body of the clergy], see ubi supra, p. 576. The
12,000-13,000 lbs. of tobacco was formerly worth
80l. per an. and afforded a very good and decent
maintenance for a minister, but for six or seven
years past tobacco is become a drug, so that now,
partly by reason of the great number of inhabitants
bred in the country and of negroes imported into it,
all which betake themselves to the trade of planting,
partly also by reason of the high Customs laid upon
that commodity [by the mother country by the
Act of Parliament, 1 James II, c. 4, continued by
2 Wm. and Mary, Sess. 2, c. 5] and the vast quantities
of it that are made upon the Rhine and other parts
of Europe, the ministers' salaries are fallen above
a half, by which means one half the parishes is
now void.
As to the desired Commissary for exercising
authority over the clergy there, the speaker represents
the great charges such a person must be at
in travelling all over the country for making visitations
of churches. "The Governor and Council
have recommended to my Lord Bishop of London
to procure a salary for the Commissary from the
time of entry on the office in May, 1690, out of the
quit rents" etc. ut ibid.
[For Blathwait's report on these memorials, see

Entry of a minute made this day by the Committee
of Trade and Plantations at the Council Chamber,
Whitehall : there being present the Lord President
of the Council, Master of the Rolls, Vice-Chamberlain
of the Household and Sir Henry Goodrick.
The King having ordered in Council Oct. 15 last,
supra, pp. 1344-5, that out of the proceeds of the
1,070l. 16s. 2d. in bills remitted from the Convention
in Maryland there should be allowed to Col. Copley
600l. with what should remain after the deduction
of 14d. per ton and a fourth of the moiety of the
2s. per hogshead for arms and ammunition ; this
allowance to be to Copley in consideration of his
attendance and expense relating to the Government
of Maryland and in satisfaction of his salary to
Michaelmas last : and the Committee for Trade
and Plantations having understood from Peter
Paggen that, in pursuance thereof and of a Treasury
warrant thereon, he is ready to deliver bills for
800l. in part thereof, but desires to retain in his
hands the remainder as paid by him to the Agents
of Maryland by order of the Convention of that
Province : the said Committee for Trade and
Plantations conceive it a matter fit to be further
examined and that Col. Copley is immediately
to go aboard the convoy bound to Maryland. They
therefore desire the Treasury Lords to give order
that out of the said 800l. which Paggen offers to
deliver to the Customs Cashier 500l. be paid to
Col. Copley as soon as may be upon account and as
in part of such sum as may be allotted to him
according to the abovesaid Order in Council. |
