of the two several rent charges of 30l. per an.
each issuing out of the manors of Bedgbury, Goudhurst,

the Crown has therein by attainder as follows :
the said Robert Colepepyr having represented
in a petition to the king that Roger and James
Colepepyr, two of his uncles, were heretofore
estated in the said rent charges, and that for the
advancement of their fortunes travelling into
Holland, they were there preferred to be captains of
foot, and served in that capacity for many years,
and during all the late war between England and
Holland, without returning into England as they
ought to have done in obedience to an Act of
Parliament of 17 Car. II., whereby they became
attainted of treason and have forfeited said rent
charges : but representing further that said uncles
were ignorant of said Act, and were never concerned
in any sea service or engagement by land against
our forces : and further that petitioner's ancestors
and relations suffered for the king and his father
during the late [Civil] war, whereby petitioner's
family is near ruined and his estate impoverished.

Report to the king from Treasurer Danby on the
petition from Roger, Earl of Orrery, said petition
praying that the 8000l. (granted for his surrender
of his patent of President of Munster, and payable
by 838l. 14s. 0d. per an.) may be paid by the Irish
Revenue Farmers in the last year of their farm.
On said petition the Earl of Essex, Lord Lieutenant,
reports that (after cessation of the Duke of
Ormonde's temporary payment of 5,000l. per an.
to be satisfied out of the quit rents assigned for
satisfaction of what is due to him) the 6,000l. to Col.
Lane's daughters, 8,888l. to Lawrence Hyde, 3,000l.
to Sir Timothy Tyrrell and 8,000l. to petitioner are to
be paid successively out of those quit rents : but
because a failure may happen (the Duke's debt
not being adjusted) the Lord Lieutenant conceives
that what shall be unpaid to the petitioner by
this fund (if but a little sum) be paid out of the
last monthly 20,000l. to be due from the new
Farmers [of the revenue of Ireland], or (if a great
sum) out of their last three monthly payments.
To said report Treasurer Danby hereby agrees,
with the addition that the said payments be inserted
on the present and future establishments of Ireland.

Report to the King from Treasurer Danby on the
petition of Dame Philadelphia Clerk, relict of Sir
John Clerk, kt. and bart., as by the order of
reference of the 11th inst. thereon. I find by
certificate by Thomas Watkins, a clerk of the
Privy Seal, and the copies of several docquets by
him transmitted to me, that about July, 1660,
your Majesty made said Clerk a baronet and about
the same time granted a warrant for discharge
of his baronet fee. Petitioner alleges that Sir John
trusted to his solicitor to prosecute the said
discharge and believed the same to be perfected,
nevertheless the said debt still remains charged
on her estate. If the fee is to be discharged as
intended it is proper to be done by a privy seal
directing tallies to be levied at the Exchequer
in the usual form.
