charges himself with 1 861l. 11s. 0¾d., receipts therefrom in
said year. He also "affirmeth that by the continuance of the
halfpenny per gallon upon Scotch salt imported into England
such encouragement hath bin given to the making of salt here
that within the space of a few years last past so many new
salt works have bin sett up in severall parts of England as
hath furnished a fourth part of the salt which hath bin
imported into the port of London: so that he is thereby so
farre disenabled from the paying of his rent of 1,800l. per an.
as that he offers that if any other will give your Majesty 1,400l.
per an. he is ready to resigne his patent to your Majesties
best advantage: nor can he adventure to pay any more than
1,000l. per an." He prays a new farm at that rent. |

allowance. which he craves, viz.] 330l for fees paid on receipt of
moneys: 200l. paid as gratuity to Edward Backwell over and
above the [legal] 6 per cent. interest for a loan of 5,000l. by

"for the interest of 1,500l. borrowed for our service of
Monsieur Guilleaume Feburier, but together with the said
interest repaid by the said Sir Thomas Bond and therefore not

produced to justify said allowances are not agreeable to the
Court of Exchequer and the said Bond having in consequence
been "charged not only with the sum of 5,000l. which we
ordered to be issued to him by Sir Henry Wood, but with
several sums of money borrowed in France by our said
late Commissioners for our service there . . . . there
appearing to be no warrant from us for the same: and
also that though our Commission under our Great Seal
of England, dated the 27th day of September last, directed
to our said late Commissioners, doth authorise the allowance of such disbursements as are made by the said Sir
Thomas Bond according to their [the said Commissioners']
orders and directions, yet the sums above mentioned to
be craved in the same account amounting to 570l. 3s. 6d.
cannot without our special warrant likewise in that behalf
be allowed . . . . and our further will and pleasure is
that all moneys that shall upon the said accounts appear
to you to have been furnished or borrowed by the said
Sir Thomas Bond by order of our said late Commissioners
for the funeral, family or servants of our said late
mother either in France or here, and wherewith he
chargeth himself in the said accounts and are still remaining unsatisfied, be paid out of such moneys as shall be
received [out] of the revenue of our said late mother, settled
in trustees for the payment of her debts before all other
payments whatsoever, and that upon payment thereof
the securities given for the same be taken up and
cancelled." |

Treasury warrant to the six Auditors of the Exchequer Court
[that of Wales being excepted in the Act] and the Clerk of
the Pipe, to make out particulars of all rents and tenths above
the value of 40s. per an. by such words as will be sufficient to
pass them to the Trustees to be nominated [for the sale of
fee farm rents] before the end of this Easter term, including
such rents of lands as were parcels of manors yet in charge
and are now granted in fee farm: and of those that are in
lease and enjoyed by Coldstreamers or others of that nature,
certifying the interests and claims of those persons: and of
such as were in jointure to the late Queen Mother: and of
such as are in jointure to the Queen that now is: and
of such rents as stand in charge as farm rents which
the Auditor or Clerk of the Pipe think to be fee farms, though
the grants be not enrolled before them; certifying the same
upon the particulars: and also within a fortnight after the
end of the next term to make out particulars of all other
rents in charge before them, certifying unto the Treasury
Lords in the meantime what rents resolute and other perpetual
payments are charged upon each county, to the end such of
the said rents may be set apart for the payment thereof as
shall be meet. (The rents of the Honor of Windsor are not
to be [set] out). And the said Auditors are further to certify
what rents, parcel of the 10,000l. per an. lately granted in
mortgage for securities of [loan] moneys, are not grantable by
virtue of the Act, that they may be expected out of the new
grant thereof. |
Ibid, pp. 337–9. |
|
Prefixing:—Report to the Treasury from Sir C. Harbord, Sir R.
Long, and Mr. Ri. Sherwyn, dated 1670, April 23. We have
conferred with the Auditors of the Exchequer about the speedy
making out of particulars for sale of the fee farm rents and
other rents in charge before them, and it is humbly proposed:— |
|
|
(1) That the rents lately passed to make up a value of
10,000l. per an. for security of moneys [lent on the security
of the Crown lands] may be surrendered and regranted under
the same words as now they are, whereby they will be made
more saleable and valuable for His Majesty's benefit. |
|
|
(2) That particulars may be made out of such other rents
and Tenths as are paid to the Receivers above the value of
40s. per an. by such words as will be sufficient to pass them
to the Trustees before the end of this Easter term: and will
contain above half the rents intended to be sold. |
|
|
(3) And the residue of them may be prepared and made
out for another book within a fortnight after the next term,
before which time the Treasury Lords may be certainly
informed what rents are fit to be reserved and set apart for
the payment of rents resolute and other perpetual payments charged upon each county. |
|
|
(4) If the purchasers shall desire to have all the lands
whereon the said rents are charged mentioned in their conveyances they may have new particulars made out for that purpose,
whereby the Trustees may pass the same accordingly. |
|
|
(5) There being divers rents standing in charge before the
said Auditors as farm rents upon demiseable lands which they
believe are passed in fee farm, but the grants not enrolled, the
Auditors pray your Lordships' directions how they shall be
certified upon the particulars; but we think there are not
many such cases, and when any such shall appear your Lordships will advise what directions to give therein. |
|
|
(6) And there being divers fee farm rents reserved for lands,
parcels of manors (yet in charge), granted in fee farm, the
Auditors pray your Lordships' directions whether they shall
make out particulars of those rents, the manors being excepted
in the Act. But we conceive that those fee farm rents, being
for ever severed from manors, they may be sold by the Act,
and therefore particulars are to be made out of all such as
well as of any others. |
|
|
(7) And the Auditors pray your Lordships' directions
touching the fee farm rents granted to Coldstreamers (some
during His Majesty's pleasure and others until His Majesty
gives them other satisfaction), whether the particulars of those
rents shall be made out, and they pray your Lordships'
directions touching the fee farm rents in the late Queen
Mother's jointure, and whether such rents as are granted to
particular persons under the Great Seal of England for 21
years or more shall be sold in reversion of the present terms
and particulars made out for that purpose. |
