Treasurer Danby to the Treasurer of the Navy. I am informed
that there is a present want of hemp in the Navy, and if a
quantity be not bought now the market is like to rise, but the
merchants are unwilling to sell without ready money or [else
only] at extravagent prices. You are to buy the said hemp with
ready money, which I will supply to you in part of the 100,000l.
on the Customs designed for stores. But Visct. Brouncker is of
opinion it will be best for the credit of their [the Navy] Board
to have a contract there signed at such a price as if the said
hemp were really bought and to be paid for as they deal with
other merchants for other goods, and (that these dealers may
not know otherwise) that the money for said hemp be paid by
your hand without the present assignment of the Board, and that
what is saved of the price contracted for may be made good to
the King by your charging yourself there with on the front of
your next ledger. I consent hereto and desire you to pay the
bill of imprest granted by the [Navy] Board for the said hemp
by way of advance to the merchant, paying him no more than
he weighs each day, at a price not exceeding 25l. 10s. per ton.
On the delivery of the whole parcel you are to take up the bill
passed for the whole money signed by the [Navy] Board, the
merchant delivering up the bill of imprest to be cancelled as
is usual.

Royal warrant to the Governor of Roanoke. In spite of the Act
of Trade, 15 Car. II., great quantities of European goods have

Customs and of the trade and navigation of England. We have

unlawful and evil practices for the future. You are to publish
same in the colony of Roanoke and punish offenders. We are
informed that the subjects of some of our colonies have taken
great liberty, not only in supplying themselves with European
commodities from other places than England, but also bring
such goods into other our colonies to the discouragement of
fair traders and the diminution of the King's Customs. You
are hereby to examine all European commodities imported into
your Government and are to seize all such which lack proof of
shipment from England (other than as excepted in the abovesaid
proclamation). You are to assist all collectors and officers of
the Customs herein and in all other matters relating to their
office, and to inform the Customs Commissioners, England, of
what you find may be for the advantage of the King's Customs ;

that Kinsale shall be a free port, under rules to be approved

levied they are to have the benefit thereof ; with proviso,
further, for reserving to the Crown the power of pardoning
offences, forfeitures upon penal laws and other particulars
within the survey of the Greenwax, which are to be managed
by the King's officers as formerly (said forfeitures being
nevertheless accounted as part of their rent) ; and, similarly,
reserving power to the Crown to pardon and discharge any
arrears of the said revenue before the commencement of said
new farm and to the Lord Lieutenant the power of dispensing
(without the said Farmers consent) with the statutes of 11
and 13 Eliz. as to licensing the exportation of wool and wool
fells into England as formerly "so as the subsidies and
poundages by law due unto us over and above what is usual
unto our Lord Lieutenant may be preserved and paid unto the
said Farmers" : without the consent of the Lord Lieutenant
the Farmers not to dispossess tenants in order to the recovery
of quit rents nor do anything in violation of the Acts of
Settlement and Explanation : the Farmers not to obstruct the

of lands and hereditaments in Ireland : "saving the Prizage

5,000l. end of Mar., 10,000l. end of April, 20,000l. end of

will pay at the end of the [said] seven years (besides the said
240,000l. per an.) five-sixths of whatever surplus they shall
receive above 288,000l. per an. one year with another [such
extra payment] "to be bestowed upon such public uses for the
benefit of our subjects in Ireland as the said Farmers shall
humbly recommend." Defalcations to be hereby permitted
for the following particulars, viz. : 10 per cent. interest on

abovesaid further conditional advance said Farmers are hereby
granted all the Crown and quit rents of Ireland for seven
years from the end of their farm on condition to be void on
repayment of said advance money and interest at the rate of
exchange current at the time of such repayment. The King
may, out of his bounty, abate or reduce 1,000l. per an. of quit
rents without allowing any defalcations for same. "If we
shall think fit to moderate the quit rents upon the most coarse,
barren and insolvent lands, so as to encourage plantations and
answer the intention of the clause in the 37th page of the Act
of Explanation, the Farmers being to be heard by the Lord
Lieutenant concerning the values of the said respective lands
whereof the quit rents are to be moderated, as also in all other
transactions concerning quit rents so to be moderated, we shall
allow no defalcations [to said Farmers] for 4,000l. per an. of
such quit rents so to be moderated [to the owners of such
lands], and which are now charged on the most coarse, barren
and insolvent lands, wherein the lands belonging to Sir
William Petty and Robert Marshall, in the barony of Iveagh,
Dunkerron and Glanarought, are to be in proportion moderated
and comprehended." If any monthly instalment of said rent
of 240,000l. per an. be 30 days in arrear the Farmers to
forfeit one month's interest of their 60,000l. advance. If
same be another 40 days in arrear then the King may seize the
farm and make same void after repaying the balance of advance
money due. The major part of the Farmers shall be always
resident in Ireland and once every week admit two Commissioners
(to be appointed by the King) to sit with them to see
what said revenue has produced. If any foreign war arise
during the farm so many years shall be added to the term of
the farm as such war shall last and the above days of grace
may be enlarged as the king think fit. "the said Farmers being
to have no other defalcations or allowance for or by reason of
such foreign war." The Farmers are to enjoy the mean profits
of all forfeited and other lands belonging to the Crown (except
the King's castles, fortresses, houses and parks), "who are to
dispose of and improve the same according to law to the best
advantage so long as they continue in our hands and until the
next feast of St. Michael the Archangel or the Annuntiation
of our blessed Lady then next after they shall be granted away
and then our said Farmers are to have the rents reserved.
which are not to be less than the quit rents unless the Farmers
consent thereto ; provided that the Farmers shall make lease
during their term to the nominees mentioned in and according
to the intent of our letter bearing date the — day of —,
1674, of the respective lands whereof the custodium was
intended to be granted unto them [said nominees] at a rent
equivalent to the quit rents so [as] the same extend not to any
lands already decreed or ordered to any other by the late Court
of Claims." At the request of the Farmers moneys in remote
parts may be assigned for quartering of soldiers. The present
grant is also to contain such of the covenants, as shall be
thought fit. for defalcations and other matters as are contained
in the grants to John Forth and partners and Visct. Ranelagh
and partners so as the same extend not to give them "any
defalcations other than by reason of the hand of God, unavoidable
necessity or our owne act."
