Memorial to the King from the Treasury Lords concerning
Customs officers in the Isle of Man. The
letter of Dec. 31 last from the Privy Council to the
Earl of Derby desired that an officer of the Customs
should reside there to perform his office. He
thereupon replied to the Customs Commissioners
that his own officers shall in all occasions be charged
to take care of and communicate to the said Commissioners
what is for the King's service to be
done there, but that he will not admit of any commission
or private instruction from the said
Commissioners to be obeyed in the said island.
We submit copies of these letters to your Majesty
with our opinion that it may be a great prejudice
to the revenue if officers appointed by the Customs
Commissioners be not permitted to act there, as
they have done for several years past, because
there are great opportunities of running prohibited
goods ashore from the said island. We therefore
offer that some care be taken that such officers be
permitted by the Earl of Derby to reside in the
Isle of Man and to perform their duty and have the
said Earl's countenance therein. |

Order of the Queen in Council, dated Whitehall, on
reading the Treasury report as below, concerning
a college in Virginia. The Queen approves said
report, saving as to the clause relating to escheats :
and hereby orders that the sum of
1,985l. 14s. 10d. be applied to the building of a free
school and college : and that the net surplus of
the quit rents (after 300l. per an. thereout to the
Lieut. Governor), "which will amount to about
500l. per an.," be granted for three years, for the
maintenance of the ministers, viz. 100l. to the Commissary
and the remainder to be distributed by
the Governor and Commissary [as an augmentation]
equally among the resident ministers : and that the
net product in England of the 1d. per lb. duty as
below and the Crown part of forfeitures as below,
and the lands on the south side of Blackwater and
Pamunkee Neck, and the office of Surveyor General
be granted as below for ever towards the maintenance
of a free school and college. |
Out Letters (Plantations
Auditor) I, pp. 353-363. |
Preceded by. (1) Report, ut supra, p. 1725, dated 1692,
July 15, to the King from the Treasury Lords on the
two memorials, the first, ut supra, p. 1408, concerning
a free school and college to be erected in Virginia,
and desiring bestowal of several branches of the revenue
or rights of the Crown ; the second, supra, p.
1409, concerning an augmentation of the salaries or
maintenance of the ministers [of religion] in the said
Colony. We referred same to William Blathwayte
and the Customs Commissioners, and we submit their
reports, ut supra, pp. 1503-4 and infra, p. 1965.
We see no objection to a grant of the following
particulars, "which doth not appear to us to have
been appropriated or to be necessary for the immediate
support of the Government in that Colony,"
viz. :
(i) the 1,985l. 14s. 10d. mentioned in said Blathwayt's
report. But in reference hereto we
must observe that your Majesty pays 600l.
per an. (upon the establishment of the Forces
in England) to the executors of Lord Culpeper
for his surrender of the quit rents in 1684 :
and that if the 1,985l. 14s. 10d. be granted as
desired the Governor of Virginia would have
[to have] recourse to your Majesty if money
should be wanted for fortifications or other
unforeseen exigencies of the Government in
Virginia.
(ii) The growing quit rents, which are particularly
desired for a salary to the Commissary of
the Clergy and the residue to be distributed
among the several ministers of the country by
way of augmentation.
(iii) The net product arising in England of the
duty of 1d. per lb. on exported tobacco, after sale
here of said tobacco as proposed above by the
Customs Commissioners.
(iv) The lands on the south side of Blackwater
and Pamunkey Neck to the extent of 10,000
acres in each tract : in free and common
socage.
(v) The office of Surveyor General in Virginia
to be in the disposal of the College whenever
vacant.
(vi) All escheats to the Crown (not already
directed) by any law there made : but it is a
point of law whether escheats can be granted
before they actually accrue by the failure of
heirs general or special. |
|
(2) Blathwayt's report of 1691-2, Feb. 22, ut
supra, pp. 1503-4. |
|
(3) Report, dated 1692, June 30, to the Treasury
Lords from the Customs Commissioners on the
memorial and papers concerning the erecting a free
school and college in Virginia (as by the reference
of April 21 last, supra, p. 1605). We have no cognizance
of the quit rents and other revenues in Virginia
(which it is desired to be appropriated to the maintenance
of said college) save only the penny per lb.
on tobacco exported thence to any other of their
Majesties' Plantations, being a duty imposed by
25 Car. II., c. 7, which was intended not so much
to raise a revenue to the Crown as to prevent an
unlimited trade then in practice of carrying tobacco
to another [Plantation] and conveying it thence
into divers parts of Europe to the great hurt and
diminution of the Customs and of the trade and
navigation of this kingdom. According thereto it
has been the constant care of the Customs Commissioners,
England, by instructions to the officers
and otherwise, to restrain [restrict] as much as
possible the shipping of tobacco and other the
enumerated commodities to England only ; insomuch
that the whole produce of this imposition in
Virginia and Maryland hath little more than defrayed
the officers' salaries, boat hire and other incidents
for the managing and collecting thereof. Yet,
nevertheless, could the said duty be well and truly
collected (which hath hitherto been rendered very
difficult by reason of the large rivers in the country
and distance thereof from each other), it might
reasonably be supposed that the same would amount
to 3-400l. per an. more than the necessary charges
of the management and collection as aforesaid
besides what may arise to the King by the King's
share of forfeitures on bonds, ships and personal
informations, by a vigorous and effectual execution
of the Acts of Trade and Navigation within Maryland
and Virginia. The collection of the said duty and
the whole business of the Act of Parliament relating
thereto is to be ordered and managed by the Customs
Commissioners, England, under the authority of
the Treasury, and may not therefore (however
appropriated to particular uses by such grant as
is desired) be otherwise managed. But the Governor
of the said College may be very serviceable by
supervising and inspecting the actions and proceedings
of the [revenue] officers in the matter in
order to a more strict collection of the duty and
more due observance of the Acts of Navigation,
and may also render to England from time to time
an account of any undue practices in the said offices.
We therefore offer that instead of allowing to the
officers (six collectors and one Comptroller in
Virginia and two collectors and one Comptroller in
Maryland) three fourths of their collection of the
said duty of 1d. per lb., together with incidents,
there may be established certain salaries on them
from 30l. to 50l. per an., and that all tobacco collected
in lieu of said duty may be brought to England
and pay duty and be sold and the produce applied
to said salaries etc. and the residue towards the
said [College's] uses, if granted as prayed. |
|
(4) Order of reference, dated Whitehall, 1692,
July 28, from the Privy Council to the Attorney
General of the above report of the Treasury Lords,
viz. as to the point of the grant of escheats. |
(5) Undated report thereon to the King in Council
by Sir J. Sommers and Sir Tho. Trevor.
It appears to us that the tenure by which the
lands in Virginia are holden of the Crown of England
is in free and common socage as of the manor of
East Greenwich. The consequence of this is that
where any person dies without heir his land will
escheat to the Crown as having the immediate
seigniory. We are of opinion that escheats of this
nature cannot be granted before they happen
otherwise than by a grant or alienation of the
seigniory itself, which we suppose is not intended
to be done.
There are other escheats upon attainders of
treason which are not incident to the tenure, but
belong to the Crown as a prerogative royal, of whomsoever
the land be holden. It seems to us very
doubtful whether such royal escheats may in any
manner be granted before they happen. But if it
might be done we do not think it advisable for the
Crown to part with such a right and to put the
forfeitures for treason in other hands. |
(6) Undated memorial concerning 2,000l. raised
out of the quit rents now begged for the College of
Virginia : as calendared in Calendar of State Papers,
America and West Indies, 1689-92, pp. 672-4 : being
in effect a reply and traverser of the concluding
paragraphs of the above Treasury report with
regard to the necessity of conserving the quit rents
for the requirements of the contingent charges of
the Government of Virginia. In reply whereto the
writer asserts that whatever forts have been built
in the country and any charge of maintaining
garrisons in them has still [always] been defrayed
by a public levy upon the people who have never
been backward, when ever the Governor called an
Assembly when they were far less numerous
and consequently not so able to bear the charge
of a public levy as now they are etc. ut ibid.
