Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the petition of

executors of Charles Read, deceased, late Receiver of some
part of His Majesty's revenue in Ireland. Read was appointed
1640, June 15, Receiver of His Majesty's revenues in Coleraine,
with the fee of 100l. per an. His accompts were made to Mr.
Chambers, the Auditor of that revenue, and the vouchers were
left in said Chambers' hands, who dying during the late
trouble, can no where be found. According to two accompts
of said Read he appears to owe 311l. 8s. 5d., and as those rents
are payable half yearly at the feast of All Saints and of Philip
and Jacob, and as Read's receipt commenced from the feast of
Philip and Jacob, 1639, and the rebellion in Ireland broke out
in Oct., 1641, he could not be accomptable for more than
those two years. |

Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the petition of
Sir John Heath, Attorney General of the Duchy of
Lancaster, praying to be constituted the King's particular
counsel for preparing all grants of fee farms to be sold. We
do not find that ever any letters patent of this kind have been
granted to any person. The counsel of the Duchy can
pretend to no such right. There is a form of conveyance
agreed upon so that there is no need of counsel for drawing
same, and for the encouragement of purchasers it is best that
no counsel be imposed on them, but that they be left to choose
whom they think fit. We have already drawn up a table of
fees, and at several reviews have brought them as low as might
be, much lower than ever heretofore hath been allowed for
business of this kind. |

entered that when that estimate shall be returned a further
direction shall issue to the Treasury Lords to give warrant
for the felling. Please acquaint the Duke of York that the
estimate is not yet returned; so that the season for felling
the timber be not lost. |

Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the petition of
Henry Marquess of Worcester, praying to be discharged of
several sums of money for which his father, Edward Marquess
of Worcester, stood at his death indebted to the King, viz.
80l. for the 1660 poll, and 40l. for the 1666 poll money of
18 Car. II, and 100l. for his part of the four subsidies of
1663, and 500l. imprested to him for the repair of Chepstow
Castle and 150l. imprested to him for dismantling and
demolishing the walls of the city of Gloucester. The moneys
arising by the first poll are assigned to Sir Thomas Player for
payment of divers Navy debts and other uses therein set down,
and the moneys arising by the second poll are settled for
payment of orders registered thereon. So neither can be
remitted. The four subsidies are wholly in your Majesty's
disposal to be demanded or remitted at pleasure. According
to an affidavit of May 17 last of Charles Price, gent., it appears
that John Archbold, gent., a menial servant of petitioner's,
who was commanded by him to oversee and pay the workmen
employed in demolishing the walls of Gloucester, is dead, and
that William Hill, gent., also employed by petitioner to
oversee the persons set to work for repair of Chepstow Castle
is likewise dead. As the works have been performed and said
Marquess is not in a capacity to make an accompt of disbursements, he may be discharged thereof. |
