Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the petition of
the Earl of Crawford for a grant of the manor of Blackwell
in the hundred of High Peak, co. Derby. In consideration of
great sums of money due from your Majesty to petitioner and

13,000l. due to your Majesty from Richard Blackwall,
treasurer of the prize goods in the late time of usurpation,
which debt the barons of the Exchequer declared recoverable
out of the manor of Hackney and Stepney. Petitioner was at
extraordinary pains in the prosecution thereof, but was afterwards frustrated by your Majesty's passing a certain bill in a
late session of Parliament in favour of the Earl of Cleveland.
As to the manor of Blackwell said Sir Richard Blackwall was
in 1652 seized of and in the reversion of the same expectant
after the death of the Duke of Newcastle, but in May last

account of several great debts due to your Majesty from said
Blackwall. |

Treasury warrant to the several Auditors [of the Exchequer

Warrants Early XXXVII. pp. 296–7. |
|
[?] Same (signed only by Lord Ashley) for the sheriffs to return
process in due time, my Lords having been informed that there
hath been a great neglect in the said sheriffs in not duly
executing the process of the Exchequer Court which hath been
sent to them touching His Majesty's debts and duties, and that
the sheriffs do not return the King's process in due time according to the returns thereof, but keep them in their hands till the
latter end of the term and come not to their opposals till then:
and that the Court hath not time to examine then what execution
hath been done upon the said process: and when the sheriffs do
come to their opposals they give very slight answers concerning the returns by them made and cannot be so strictly held
to make their returns better for want of time, as the business
of the Court presses at the end of the term: and so the said
opposals are not duly regulated. Therefore the King's
Remembrancer is to take care that process for the King's debts
and duties be well and truly written and examined, that the
sheriff duly execute and return same and timely attend on their
opposals, and that before the time appointed for their opposals
in Court the sheriffs attend the King's Remembrancer or one
of the two secondaries of the King's Remembrancer's office
to see what returns and executions the said sheriffs have made
and done upon the said process whereby the opposal of the
sheriff in Court may be the better prepared and despatched:
and that at the opposal of every sheriff in Court upon
the said process the King's Remembrancer or one of his
two Secondaries do attend the opposal to oppose the said
sheriffs upon their process and to enter such award as the
Court shall make upon the said process either for amercing
the sheriffs for their neglect in the execution of their process,
for false and insufficient returns or for not attending their
opposals: and that one of the sworn clerks do attend with the
several files of writs: and that one of the sworn clerks do
attend upon the cursitor baron either in the Exchequer
Chamber, when the barons are sitting in the Outer Court, or
at his house or chamber as the said baron shall please to
appoint with the file of writs for the Principality of Wales to
oppose the respective sheriffs thereupon before the said baron
and to enter his awards: and the Barons of the Exchequer
Court are desired to be exact and strict with the sheriffs upon
their opposals and not to receive a slight answer from them
but to set good amerciaments upon every sheriff who shall be
found to have neglected his duty in executing the King's
process: and that at the end of every Easter and Michaelmas
term the King's Remembrancer is to see that the abovesaid
amerciaments which shall be set either upon the bill of writs
or upon any the process of this Court upon any sheriff be duly
enrolled and set down into the office of the Clerk of the Pipe
to be written forth in the summons of the Pipe for His
Majesty's service: and that no extenuation or composition be
drawn up or made for any amerciament but in that office from
whence the said process issued: and that the baron who shall
be attended on for the extenuating or compounding such
amerciament be very well satisfied of the reasons which shall
be alleged for such extenuation: and further the Auditors are
from day to day to attend at the opposals of sheriffs according to
the respective counties assigned to them to hear what answers
the sheriffs make to such charges as are written forth in process
upon the respective certificates sent from them into the offices
of the King's or Treasurer's Remembrancer. |

Report from the Treasury Lords to the King. Upon weighing
the reasons sent by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland concerning
the Duke of Ormonde's 5,000l. per an. for four years or longer
upon certain conditions, we are of opinion that the payment
of the said 5,000l. per an. doth not in any way invect the
order of the Exchequer in Ireland or prejudice the payments
of the civil and military lists, but it is only the converting of
5,000l. per an. of the revenue of the quit rents to this use,
for which the Duke of Ormonde hath made over to your
Majesty the sum of 48,000l., which may be raised and brought
into the Exchequer there for your Majesty's use with more
advantage to your affairs in that kingdom than the payment
of this 5,000l. per an. will prejudice them if the Lord
Lieutenant do pursue the orders already sent him for
raising the said 48,000l. according as the Act of Parliament
empowers him: and since your Majesty hath already settled
the payment of 5,000l. per an. by your great seal we are
humbly of opinion to advise your Majesty as well to direct
the execution of the said letters patent which you have
formerly passed by the advice of your Privy Council here without a negative when the Lord Lieutenant was here, as also to
renew your orders for the raising of the said 48,000l. as is
directed by the Act of Parliament. |
