Royal letter to the Governor of Maryland. Notwithstanding our letter of 1692, Oct. 11, Calendar of Colonial Books, Vol. XIII, p. 718, to the several Colonies and Provinces in the Northern parts of America to be abiding and assisting to the Governor or Commander in Chief in the Province of New York for the defence and security thereof against our enemies and to agree upon a quota of men or other assistance to be given by each such Colony etc. for said defence of New York, some of them have omitted to send Commissioners to adjust the quotas and nothing has been done therein. We have thereupon thought fit to appoint the several quotas of men or other assistance to that end. It is our pleasure that a quota or part of our Militia of our Province of Maryland not exceeding 160 men be the measure of the assistance to be given by the said Province towards the defence and security of New York, "which we do hereby require and command you at all times upon application of our Governor or Commander in Chief of our said Province of New York to furnish and send to be under his command and direction" for the said defence. We have given especial directions to the said Governor not to demand at any time a greater part of the said quota from Maryland than he shall in proportion demand from the rest of the adjacent Colonies. We doubt not of your cheerful obedience in a matter wherein the security of Maryland as of all our subjects inhabiting in those parts of America is so much concerned. (The like letter to the Governor of Virginia.) |

Treasury warrant to the Commissioners of Excise and Hearthmoney Arrears to discharge the arrear of 240l. resting on Geo.

(290l. 15s. 11d.) in arrear on his account occasioned by the not allowing of his salary and by his great expenses in serving their Majesties in the late Revolution: towards which charge he is hereby to be allowed 50l. for collecting the arrears due at Lady day, 1690, thus reducing his arrear to the 240l. hereby discharged. |

Same to the Surveyor General of Crown Lands for a particular of that part of their Majesties' house at Royston in co. Cambridge which James Morgan, deceased, lately enjoyed; in order to a lease thereof to John Milward, one of the Yeomen Ushers of the Guard and an old servant of the Crown; viz. for 31 years at 6s. 8d. per an. rent and without fine. |
Ibid, pp. 328-9. |
|
Prefixing: said Surveyor General's report on said Millward's petition. The premises of which Morgan had the profits consist of four small houses and tenements, two whereof are very much in decay, but if repaired might yield together 10l. per an.
Several other houses and parcels of land which were enjoyed heretofore by Charles I when the house there was standing (the same having been demolished in the late Civil Wars), valued at 34l. per an., are claimed and enjoyed by Robert Chester, esq., as his inheritance: and a close of pasture about 1¼ acres is enjoyed by Miles Thorowgood, who claims the inheritance thereof by purchase from Phillip, Earl of Pembroke; upon which ground part of the said King's house stood; valued at 3l. per an. There is also an old barn, now used for a Meeting House, at the end thereof, which was in the possession of the King's purveyor since 1660, and is let by one Arthur Powell of Carshalton in Surrey for 40s. per an., but Powell's title is not made out to me. It is alleged that these particulars contain all that was in the possession of Charles I. I rate the particulars desired by Millward at 75l. for a 31 years' lease. The other parcels were questioned by Morgan in 1662 and thereupon a privy seal dated 1677–8, March 25, was produced to Sir Jeofry Palmer, then Attorney General, expressing that James I having contracted with Robert Chester, esq., for several houses, lands and tenements at Royston of the value of 23l. 6s. 8d. per an., 450l. was ordered as purchase money thereof. But Sir Robert Pye [then Auditor of the Receipt] certified in 1662 that no money had issued by virtue thereof and it was thought fit to admit the heir of the said Chester to re-enter and enjoy the premises until the King should think fit to pay said 450l., “which I presume has not yet been done.“ The estate claimed by some conveyance from Phillip, late Earl of Pembroke, was allowed of by the Parliament's Trustees about 1650, it appearing to them that Charles I held the same at a rent of 26l. 13s. 4d., which was paid to said Earl until 1640, but without any conveyance thereof made to the Crown. James I purchased the said Royston House from the Earl of Lincoln, whose mansion house it was before, and the parcels held of the Earl of Pembroke and Mr. Chester were but added for better accommodation. therefore cannot but think there must be some more ground belonging to the Crown than those four cottages, and therefore advise that on passing any lease the whole interest which the Crown has to the scite of the said late mansion house and all appurtenances thereto be demised, together with the said four tenements, the better to preserve the Crown's title, and that the lessee covenant to recover and ascertain the same. |
