Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on two estimates from the Admiralty Lords, one for an increase of pay to the officers of the Fleet, the other for half pay to Flag Officers and to several Captains and others in time of peace. As these papers are transmitted to us from Sir John Trenchard, Secretary of State, without any representation from the Admiralty Lords of the reasons and motives which have induced them to propose such an increase of charge, we are unable to give your Majesty any opinion of the expediency thereof. Your Majesty's revenue is at this time so much anticipated as to be no way in a condition to support so great an additional expence, estimated at near 60,000l. per an. and which when introduced may probably amount to more. And therefore if these augmentations shall be thought necessary for the service at this time we conceive it might have been proper to have laid the consideration of the same before the House of Commons, to the end a proportionable fund might be provided for this use. |

Report to the [King in] Council from the Treasury Lords on the petition and proposal of Abell Slaney and Daniel Barton concerning copper farthings and half pence (referred to the Treasury Lords Dec. 7 last). Hereon we find that the Governor and Company of Copper Miners have agreed to ascertain [guarantee] 2,500l. a year for the privilege of making such farthings and half pence [ut supra, p. 415]. Slaney and Barton offer 3,500l. a year rent, and upon our discoursing with them do submit to the other terms the said Company had agreed to. But the said Company have been at great charge to promote the copper manufacture in England and have spent some time in soliciting this business of farthings and half pence and have made a provision of copper and other things to be employed in the making thereof: and they are willing to come up to the additional rent of 1,000l. per an. We therefore advise a grant in favour of the Company, as they are substantial men and have an interest to encourage and promote the [copper] manufacture. |
