Report to the Queen from the Treasury Lords on
the Order [of reference] in Council of the 29th inst.
We have considered the draft of a Proclamation
and the estimates annexed. As to the last clause
of it relating to the paying of all the seamen to
Michaelmas, 1692 (which by the said estimate
amounts to above 900,000l.), we are of opinion
that so great a sum cannot be furnished within
the time proposed neither out of the remainder
due to the head of wages [under the 1,000,000l.
appropriation clause of the Act for the second
Twelve Months' Aid] (which amounts to about
170,000l. for this last year's service) nor out of any
credit to be had upon the revenue as it stands at
present engaged. "But in case the Parliament
shall think fit to make a further provision for the
expenses of the Navy next year as will be sufficient
to clear the arrears of the seamen's wages to Michaelmas,
1692, and carry on the current service at the
same time, we think it will be of great use and
advantage to your Majesty's service." |
