	Privy seal for payment of the Navy Creditors. Many creditors of the Navy who had bills from the Principal Officers and Commissioners of the Navy for such goods, wares, ships, merchandise, as they had respectively furnished for the service of the Navy, did give up the said bills and took certificates from the said Principal Officers and Commissioners of the Navy, to be paid their respective debts out of the money arising by the Act for the Additional Aid and had orders accordingly drawn for their respective debts and registered upon said Act. But there was so much money registered before [or in front of them, viz. for loans on said Act] that neither the moneys of the said Act nor the further supply of the first month of the Eleven months' tax could extend to pay the same. The King in Council did then direct the Treasury Lords to take special care of the satisfaction of the said creditors [so remaining unpaid] whose debts amount in the whole to 55,134l. 18s. 7¾d. Furthermore orders for in all 2,250l. 10s. 8d. were drawn in like manner on the said Additional Aid but not registered because said Register was overcharged before said orders were prepared: also other creditors delivered up their bills and took certificates upon the said Act of Additional Supply to the amount of, in all, 8,242l. 16s. 11d., which certificates came so late that there were never any orders drawn thereon: all which debts amount to 65,628l. 15s. 2¾d. and interest at 6 per cent. from 1669, Nov. 23, being the time agreed for the commencement of the interest. Said debts are to be paid out of the Exchequer, the officers of the Exchequer concerned being directed to cancel the record and registry of said orders, where registered, and to take in and cancel said orders themselves where not registered and also said certificates as above, "and to draw new orders by virtue of these our letters for such whose orders were formerly registered or drawn up: as likewise orders upon the said certificates for the said sum of 8,242l. 16s. 11d."A list of the said respective debts and names is annexed hereto, [wanting: see infra pp. 775, 782, under date Jan. 18 and 28]				Warrants Early XVa. pp. 94–6.
Jan. 12	The Treasury Lords to Francis Bacon, Esq., Justice of Peace in Norfolk. We have seen an order of yours directing William Beamont, one of the Collectors of Hearth money for Norfolk, to restore to Richard Robins, of Itteringham, blacksmith, 3s. levied on him for his smith's forge. "Wherein you take upon you to assert that it is not the meaning of the laws concerning that duty to charge smiths' forges any more than the furnaces of braziers and pewterers. What should warrant such a conclusion we cannot discern, a furnace being literally excepted, but not one word in all the [Hearth money] Acts to exempt smiths' forges, which we suppose [you] will deny to be Firehearths. Upon a question moved whether smiths' forges were liable to pay the duty or not, we (being upon advice with His Majesty's counsel learned, satisfied of His Majesty's right thereunto) did give order that where payment was denyed the Receiver should take distress," and in case the party distrained brought action the Receiver should appear. We still expect these directions to be observed by His Majesty's officers, and desire you to consider well before you give any more interruption to it. We meet with very few of your opinion, and are not willing if it may be avoided to represent your proceeding to His Majesty and the Council, so we hope you will give us no further occasion.				Warrants Early XXXVI. pp. 162–3.
	Same to the King's Remembrancer to forbear issue of process against Lawrence Hyde, Master of the Robes, upon his accounts of Imprests, seeing that "we have given some assignments unto him for the expense of said office upon His Majesty's revenue of Hearth money which are not yet become payable at the Receipt, nor hath he been able, as we are informed, to raise any money upon the same, for which reason he is unable to perfect his accounts."				Ibid, XXXIII. p. 157.

	The Treasury Lords to all the Receivers of the Hearthmoney. You had notice in Oct. last to pay in one year's revenue of the Hearth money.

By your commission you are to pass your accompt on or before Feb. 20 next. You are to forbear, on your peril, to collect the Hearth money due at Lady day next until you have duly accompted and received our order herein.				Ibid, XXXVI. p. 204.

His Majesty is pleased not to hold the garden any longer, and has commanded same to be delivered back to Tregonnell. As Morison makes difficulty of delivering same, you are to repair thither to put Tregonnell in possession.				Ibid, XXXIII. p. 154.
	Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the petition of the Dowager Lady Abergavenny in which she prayed a grant of what your Majesty should recover or receive from the town of Hamburgh in consideration of the loss sustained by your Majesty in the river Elbe during the time of the late war with Holland from some Dutch men of war. We sent to the Navy Commissioners for an account of the case, and in their letter of December 31 last they conceive that your Majesty's pretences to satisfaction for the part of the said loss may amount to about 4,000l., but that they cannot yet ascertain or close the account of the said loss between your Majesty and Sir William Warren, in regard the whole is not yet adjusted nor determined between the said Sir William Warren and the town of Hamburg. Therefore your Majesty's share of the loss cannot be ascertained [or fixed] without disadvantage to your Majesty.				Ibid.
