Entry of Treasurer Danby's approval of a report
to the king dated Northumberland House Mar. 21
from the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland on the petition
of Sir George Lane, principal secretary of State
in Ireland as by the order of reference of the 19th
instant ; said report being to the effect following,
viz., that said office was granted to petitioner by
patent of 1665, Sept. 16, as in reversion after Sir
Paul Davies ; same being an ancient office with
a salary placed upon the establishment in the
Earl of Strafford's time, same being (as allowed
by the several establishments for Ireland down to
1672) 200l. per an. for his own fee and 100l. per
an. for intelligence : said allowance has been left
out of the establishment of the year 1672 : said
Davies died in 1672 and since his death said Lane
has had the custody of the signet in Ireland :
by royal letters of 1674, June 1 and July 10, said
salary was ordered to be inserted on the Civil list
of Ireland : by the Lord Lieutenant's order he
was accordingly inserted on the establishment as
Secretary of State but no part of his allowance
has been paid by Viscount Ranelagh and partners.
The proper course will be to grant him royal letters
directing the placing his aforesaid salary on the
new establishment for Ireland : petitioner's arrears
have been already stated and reported on to your
Majesty. (See supra, Cal. Treasury Books IV., 810.)

Jan. 12 to Dec. 1 last, being about the time his

concerned to have notice where to apply themselves
for the passes they want and what fees

fit : said directions being as follows : (see also supra,
