of the orders similarly held and similarly transferred or to be
transferred by the Cofferer of the Household, viz. for 40,000l.
registered on the fee farms which have been transferred half
to the London Excise and half to the Country Excise: "We
thinking it to be most just and judging it necessary for His
Majesty's service that the money due upon all the said orders,
amounting in the whole to 146,589l. 16s. 9d. be reserved for
His Majesty's use as likewise all other moneys due upon any
orders registered on the said Wine Act or sale of fee farm
rents which shall be given up by the Cofferer of His Majesty's
Household or any other, or shall be transferred from the said
revenues to be paid out of any other branches of His Majesty's
revenue." We therefore think fit that the said sums be made
a fund for a register, and that a register be kept as above to
the end that such payments as we shall assign thereupon may
give credit to the persons concerned by enabling them to assign
over their orders and debts according to the Act of Parliament
in that behalf. You are therefore to keep a register as above
to enter therein orders [drawn or to be drawn upon said register
or fund so created] to be paid in course according to the
manner and method of other registers. All orders given up or
to be given up as aforesaid are to be cancelled and to be vacated
from the respective registers from which they are respectively
transferred, as are also all other orders transferred from any
of the said registers that so no money may be paid thereupon,
or any imprest accomptant liable to be doubly charged. "And
that you make new orders for the sums and payments we
shall direct to be placed upon this fund and pay the same in
course out of the money of the said orders given up or transferred as above as soon as such money shall be in course to be
paid." |
