they have hitherto had the receipt of the duty
arising upon all writs sealed at the Greenwax seal
belonging to the said Courts by an officer of their
own attending there for that purpose and [for]

that they find they have just cause for changing
their said officer and therefore desire your favour to

them all due encouragement in whatsoever shall
occur to your Lordship in relation to the said duty,

Warrant from Treasurer Danby to the Commissioners

the payment of Excise for beer served
into the King's buttery for the use of his Majesty's
Household. I have examined the methods that
have hitherto been used for charging the said

of the brewer the certificates of the officers of the
Board of Greencloth be produced to ascertain the
price and quantity thereof. I hereby direct that the
gauger do charge all the beer that shall be brewed
by John Parsons and his partners for his Majesty's
buttery and served into the same as aforesaid
[according to the price of or] as if it were strong
[beer] : but that upon the oath of the said brewers
and the certificates of two or three officers of the
Greencloth expressing the quantity of said beer
served into the Buttery at a small beer price, viz.,
at 6s. 9d. per barrel or under (the Excise being
included in the price) you discharge the said John
Parsons and partners of the difference or surplus
above "the said 9d." per barrel for such small
beer.

Report to the King from Treasurer Danby on the
petition of Thomas Hawley, your Majesty's servant,
as by the reference thereon from the King. Petitioner
prays for 6,970l. 7s. 3d. due to him for principal
and interest for work done and wares and goods
served into the Great Wardrobe. It appears by the
certificate of Auditor John Phelips that the principal
so due is 5,182l. 16s. 0d. and the interest computed
to this time at the usual rate would enlarge the
whole demand to above 8,000l. It is also attested
by another certificate that petitioner was
imprisoned and tried for his life and his estate
sequestered for his loyalty in the late times of
rebellion. He is reduced to pressing necessities
very much aggravated by the rigour of his creditors.
He is deserving of favour. But what part of his
debt (in respect of your [monetary] affairs) your
Majesty shall think fit to pay at present is humbly
submitted to your wisdom.
