two memorials [missing, see supra, pp. 1408-9], the

in Virginia ; the other relating to an augmentation
of the salaries or maintenance of the ministers [of
the Gospel] there.
We have referred same to William Blathwaite
and to the Customs Commissioners and annex their
reports [missing, see supra, pp. 1503-4, and infra,
pp. 1965-6] thereon. We have no objections to your
Majesty granting the following particulars, "which
do not appear to us to have been appropriated or
to be necessary for the immediate support of the
Government in the said Colony" : viz. : |
Warrants not Relating to
Money XIV, pp. 44-5 |
|
(1) The sum of 1,985l. 14s. 10d. reported by Mr.
Blathwaite to have been raised out of quit rents
and to remain in cash on the 9th June, 1691. But
as to this we must observe that your Majesty pays
at this time 600l. out of the Army establishment
to the executors of Lord Culpeper for the remainder
of a term of which about 11½ years are to come,
as in compensation for said Lord's surrender in
1684 of a grant of the said quit rents ; and if the
said 1,985l. 14s. 10d. be applied to the use desired
the Governor would [needs] have recourse to the
Treasury in England in case money should be
wanting for fortification or any other unforeseen
exigency of the Government in Virginia. |
|
(2) The growing quit rents : which are particularly
desired for payment of a salary to the Commissary
of the Clergy : and the residue to be distributed
amongst the several ministers of the country by way
of augmentation. |
|
(3) The net produce which shall arise in England
by selling here (in the manner proposed in the
Customs Commissioners' report) the tobacco which
shall be collected in Virginia and Maryland for or
in lieu of the 1d. per lb. imposed by the Act of
25 Car. II. [c. 7] on tobacco exported thence to
other Plantations ; together with the Crown's part
of the forfeitures recovered in Virginia or Maryland
under the said Act. |
|
(4) The lands on the south side of Blackwater
and the Pumunkee Neck to the amount of 10,000
acres in each tract ; to be holden in free and common
socage and by the service of rendering yearly to
the Governor two copies of Latin verses. |
|
(5) The office of Surveyor General in Virginia
to be in the disposal of the College whensoever that
office shall become void. |
|
(6) All escheats which shall happen in the said
Colony and accrue to the Crown, not already directed
or ordered by any law there : but it being a point
of law whether escheats can be granted before
they actually accrue by the failure of haeres
general or special the King's counsel should advise
therein. |
|
Report to the Queen from the Treasury Lords on the
petition, ut supra, p. 1702, of Caroletta Hastings,
widow of Lieut. Col. Anthony Hastings, who was
slain in the King's service at sea. Petitioner prays
a pension of 504l. 14s. 1d. for 31 years, out of the
land revenue of North Wales : which sum was
formerly paid to the Judges and other officers of
Ludlow Court (now made void by Act of Parliament),
to the steward of Bardsey, the constable of Conway
Castle, the Forester of Snowdon and the Comptroller
of the fines of Carnarvon, "which are likewise
vacant," and for which Col. Hastings long since
petitioned during his lifetime in consideration of
other services. The Deputy Auditor for Wales
has reported to us that before the Court of Ludlow
was taken away there was yearly paid out of the
revenue of North Wales 410l. to the four Judges of
that Court ; 54l. 15s. 0d. to a serjeant at arms
attending the Lord President of Wales and the
Court. These sums are in the Crown's disposal,
as also the office of Constable of Conway Castle,
with the salary of 13l. 6s. 8d. per an. The total of
these sums, 478l. 1s. 8d. per an., the land revenue
in North Wales will very well bear. But the other
offices of Forester of Snowdon and Steward of
Bardsey are granted to the Earl of Radnor during
pleasure and the office of Controller of the Fines of
Carnarvon are in grant to Thomas [Whitley] and
Peter Whitley for life. We think any grant to
petitioner would be better by way of pension charged
on the Navy establishment. |

Money XIV, p. 46. |

The Treasury Lords to the Lords Justices, Ireland.
In yours of May 24 last you strongly recommend
the petition of Trinity College, Dublin, for a seven

the public calamities there, which was committed
more especially where their lands lie. You are to
give order for the respite of said quit rents till we
signify his Majesty's further pleasure therein. |
