Treasurer Osborne to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in reply
to the letter of 27 June last from the Lord Lieutenant and
Privy Council of Ireland, concerning defalcations demanded
by the Farmers of the great branches of the revenue in Ireland.
On the 12th April last the King gave said farmers a full hearing
by their Counsel and was then pleased to declare that said
farmers had no right in law upon their covenants, either in
relation to a foreign war or upon the Act of Parliament concerning
the trade to the Plantations, but out of grace was
pleased to declare that he was sensible the said Farmers had
sustained losses by the war, and therefore allowed them
12,000l. as defalcation for such losses as they had sustained
up to Xmas last. For further defalcations the King reserved
for his consideration when the year shall come about. There
is a great seal passing for the 12,000l.

Prefixing :—Constat and ratal thereof by the Surveyor General.
"The place is of little value, being exposed to lay dung and
rubbish upon for private men's occasions, and hath been very
lately encroached upon by builders who have directed [sic]
divers houses on the North side thereof and by others on the
South side without the said North wall of the Mews aforesaid.
I remember this piece of ground was purchased in the time of
his late Majesty's being Prince, with design to erect some
stables and buildings thereupon for his then Highnes' use,
but I cannot call to mind the names of the former owners nor
can I describe the true dimensions thereof, other than as above,
believing upon my view that it hath been altered and lessened
by the said encroachments ... I think it necessary to
except a passage on the West side of said ground leading from
the lesser postern gate of the Mews aforesaid up to the said
way leading to the Haymarket, not exceeding 14 feet in
breadth. The lessee to covenant at his own costs and charge
to enclose the premises with a good brick wall and to recover
