Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the petition of
Thomas Tylson in obedience to the order of reference of
Nov. 21 last. It appears by certificates from William
Sandes, an officer of the Irish Exchequer, that Tylson was
employed with John Lake in bringing in certain bonds, and
in the year 1664 delivered into the Remembrancer's Office [in
Ireland] bonds to the value of 25,000l., in recompense for
which Tylson received by concordatum 300l. There has been
received on bonds prosecuted 2,946l. 15s. 10d., but until it
appears that this was on bonds brought in by Tylson there is
no ground for further recompense. In 1667 Tylson brought
more bonds to the value of 564l. 10s. 1d. The reward for
this should be referred to the Council in Ireland. |
