Forests, co. Northampton and Bucks, which roots do much
prejudice to the vert of said forests and obstruct the growth
of underwood and deface the ridings and therefore desires
leave to dig up and remove same for the future good of the
Crown as well as the said Queen's present interest in said
forests (the great trees therein only excepted) being settled
upon Her Majesty for life as part of her jointure. You are
hereby to permit him to dig up and dispose of such roots as
he thinks fit and without account, but provided he commit no

Warrant from Treasurer Danby to the Customs Commissioners

or any the members or creeks thereto belonging by any person
or persons whatsoever (other than such clay as the Earl
of Norwich or his assignees shall think tit to transport) without
such trial and licence as in the case of said Earl was first had
and obtained : all by reason that the said Earl has made
application to the Lord Treasurer, setting forth that he has
licence from the King to transport from Yarmouth such
potter's earth as shall be digged within said Earl's manor of
Framlingham, co. Norfolk, the same having been first tried
and proved to be only potter's earth and not fulling earth,
which is prohibited by law to be transported : but that several
persons near his estate have digged and do intend to dig great
quantities of earth of the like nature, as is pretended, which
they intend to transport without any trial or licence : wherefore
said Earl prays a prohibition of such shipping and transportation
(save his own and his assignees') without such trial and
licence.

you have particularly informed me that the Collector of

Maryland 200l. per an., here [in England] you conceive the
said business goeth down the harder with them, "and that
this duty being to turn the course of a trade rather than
to raise any considerable revenue to His Majesty" you
therefore advise an allowance to [the said] collectors and
surveyors [of the new duty in the Plantations of Virginia
and Maryland] of three fourths of the duty collected, in
order to encourage them : viz., a half thereof to the collector
and a quarter thereof to the surveyor. Such allowances are
hereby approved and authorized to be made to the collectors
and surveyors of Virginia and Maryland.

Instructions from Treasurer Danby to the Customs Commissioners
in reply to their representation of the 8th inst. As to your
report on Mr. Fanshawe's papers I have given you directions
by a new reference on the said papers. As to the question of
entries by you admitted for several coal laden vessels bound
for coast shipment but which by distress [of weather] or
otherwise have gone over sea and there discharged their lading,
for which the Customs officers have accordingly given certificate
of the payment of Custom [such certificate] to be annexed to
the bonds, yet notwithstanding said bonds are put in process
for recovery of the forfeiture ; as to all which you pray my
direction, I direct that process be stopped in all cases where
the Customs duty is already paid. As to the present condition
of the port of Truro by reason the Collector has
absented himself the Customer there is to officiate as
Collector till further order. As to Mr. Stockdale's letter from
Dover, concerning foreign vessels trading under colour of
English passports, you are to write the Collector of Dover port
to recall all such passes unless they prove sufficiently to belong
to English. As to Mr. Breton's proposal concerning the landing
of 50 or 60 pipes of Canary wines out of an unfree ship he is
to be permitted to unlade in the Downs, paying only such
Custom as if imported in an English ship, oath being first
made that the vessel was not bound for any port in England.
As to the information concerning the irregularity of the officers
of Rye in clearing a ship to the Plantations without unlading
and passing prohibited goods, further proof must be made [to
me] herein against the patent officers before anything more be
done therein.

Treasurer Danby to the Commissioners of Assessment for
Cambridge and Ely. You have assessed 23l. or thereabouts
of the late subsidy upon the King's house at Newmarket for
which there is no precedent of any His Majesty's houses in
England. By reason hereof the assessment for your county
falls short. "I have thought fit to acquaint you thereof and
that notwithstanding I will direct the discharging of the
Receiver's account for the same and not exact the levying
thereof anew upon the County (as indeed it ought to be)
believing that your not knowing that His Majesty's houses are
never taxed in any place was the cause of the irregularity."
