a proviso that no [sic? for all] arrears of said rent
due to the Crown at or before Lady day last be
first satisfied to the Crown out of the moneys that
shall be raised by said extent. (Treasurer Danby's

Privy seal to Treasurer Danby, etc., to discharge
Richard Browne and George Gaunt and their estates
of the sum of 120l., they being in 1666 and 1667
sub-farmers under Sir Samuel Starling, John Man
and others then Farmers of Excise for Norfolk
and Norwich, and the said sum having, without
precedent, been assessed upon them for the profits
of their office [sub-farm] towards the 1666 poll :
it appearing that by reason of a lamentable contagion
which in the said years, or one of them, happened
in the said city the said sub-farmers and their
agents were losers by their farm to the value of
500l. or thereabouts, but that they answered their
rent to the Chief Farmers without abatement or
defalcation : the Excise Commissioners conceiving
"that taxing the said sub-farmers as aforesaid
and returning the same into the Exchequer, was
the first and only precedent of that nature and
that the petitioners' case is very equitable."
(Treasurer Danby's subscription dated June 19 of

(the same having been already paid [out by one of
the Tellers] for the King's service as below) and
also for 20l. for defraying the charges in passing
the present privy seal : all by reason that in
1674, May 7, tallies were levied at the Receipt
for 10,000l. upon the Four and a Half per cent.
duty in Barbados, to be paid to Major Edmund
Andros upon account for the arrears due to the
regiment late under Sir Tobias Bridges, and that
on the 14th of the same May, Treasurer Danby
did by warrant (in regard of the necessity there
then was for the paying of such soldiers of the said
regiment as were discharged) direct the issue of
4,500l. out of the Receipt for said purpose being
moneys of the said Eighteen Months' Assessment,
the Teller taking into his custody for his security
tallies to that value as part of said 10,000l., until
same should be reimbursed ; yet the Farmers of
the said Four and a Half per cent. duty have not
yet paid in the said money, and the said Teller
stands still charged with said 4,500l. (Treasurer
Danby's subscription dated June 13 of docquet
hereof. Treasurer Danby's warrant dated July 1
to the Receipt accordingly. The acquittance of
said Segar to be a sufficient discharge to said Teller
who is hereby directed to deliver up the tallies
for said 4,500l. to said Segar to be disposed of for

Warrant from Treasurer Danby to Sir John
Osborne, Bart., Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer
in the Exchequer. Several convictions of Recusants
are estreated into the Exchequer from several
counties of England and Wales and delivered
over into your office by schedule of Pipe for
Recusants. You are hereby to cause several
writs to be issued to the sheriffs of each county
to seize into the king's hands two third parts of all
the lands, tenements, hereditaments, leases and
farms of Recusants in the said schedules of Pipe
respectively named, and to reduce into severalty
the said two third parts from the other third part
thereof (leaving to every Recusant his chief mansion
house as part of his third part) : the King having
declared his pleasure to refuse the 20l. per month
forfeited by every such Recusant for not coming
to church and to accept such two [third] parts
of such lands, etc., in lieu and full recompense
thereof according to the statute of 3 James in
that behalf. Said writs are to be returnable on
the morrow of St. Martin next : "wherein you
are to insert a clause expressing His Majesty's
command that such two parts of Rescusants'
lands, tenements, hereditaments, leases and farms
which are already seized into His Majesty's hands
by any inquisition to this purpose be not re-seized
into His Majesty's hands till his royal pleasure
be further known."

timber there for the use of the ironworks and Creed,
a keeper, was to deliver same, and he supposed this
18 tons was part thereof. But in truth 56 tons were
delivered. As I cannot, at this distance, discover

considered the table of rates appointed by the
mayor and aldermen [of London] to be paid for tolls
on several kind of goods, merchandizes and things
therein mentioned as should be brought into or
pass out of the channel from the Thames to Holborn
Bridge. As advised by the Customs Commissioners
in their report hereon, I do not think said rates will
be prejudicial to the Customs, provided that this
channel, nor any part thereof, be construed or
deemed a lawful quay for shipping or landing
goods.

Instructions from Treasurer Danby to the Customs
Commissioners in reply to their representation
of the 12th inst. (1) Mr. Atkins, one of the sureties
of George Pley, junr., collector of Lyme, has payed
1,200l. towards satisfaction of Pley's debt to the
King, and Pley offers to pay in presently 300l.
more, and to deposit a bond of Mr. Bullen Reimes
for 500l. due to him. Certify me your opinion
hereof. (2) I approve of your letter to Mr. Kirkby,
riding surveyor for the North West Coasts, to
be resident upon his station, with his salary and
6s. 8d. a day when travelling, as allowed in the
case of Mr. Clement. (3) For saving charge to the
King, James Vernon, collector of Liverpool and
customer for Chester (of which port Liverpool is
a member), is from Midsummer next to execute
the place of collector of Liverpool for his salary
as customer of Chester and his [Liverpool] fee
of 40l. from that date is to cease, and [in lieu thereof]
he is to have only 10l. per an. for a clerk, as in
the case of Mr. Breton at Dover. (4) You have
agreed with Sir John Shaw and the patent landwaiters
[of London port] that said landwaiters
shall do their duty and be put upon ships from
the 24th of this month in like manner as the deputed
landwaiters are, which will lessen the King's charge
by so many 80l. per an., as the places of the
commission landwaiters fall void, by death or
otherwise. I approve hereof. (5) You have
placed a tidesman at Cowes loco William Dawtree,
disabled by age. You are to give Dawtree
10l. as a reward for his 13 years' honest behaviour.
(6). You are to retrench the Queenborough smack
(216l. per an. establishment) as follows, viz., instead
thereof buy a boat for 6l. to be stationed at
Rochester to guard the Medway from Rochester
to Queenborough, with an allowance of 10l. for
victualling ; for this service Mr. Yardly to be added
to the boatmen established at Rochester, with
20l. per an. salary ; a small boat or yawl of about
4l. price to be bought for the service of Faversham
port, and 20l. per an. established for a boatman
or tidesman for her, there being none established
for that port ; a yawl or boat of about 5l. price
to be bought for the service of Queenborough
and Richard Solomon, the present master of the
Queenborough smack is to be commander, and
be established as also waiter and searcher there
with 40l. per an. ; one more man to be added
to the Gravesend smack, which for victuals and
wages will come to 26l. per an. ; 20l. more to be
added to the 20l. per an. salary to the waiter and
searcher at Margate, same to be for a horse and
for taking care of the Isle of Thanet ; 15l. to be
added to the 10l. per an. salary of the waiter at
Ramsgate, to be for an able officer for the better
guarding that port ; 10l. per an. to be added to
the 20l. per an. salary of the waiter and searcher
at Leigh ; John Smith the present waiter and searcher
at Margate, and Robert Baker the waiter at
Margate and searcher at Leigh are to be written
to as to their unfitness before the above additions
relating to them be placed on the establishment.
(7) You are to pay Richard Hughs, deputy
collector and customer at Aberdovey 5l. as an
encouragement to him in the case of the seizure
of Henry Romsy's lead there, same having been
fraudulently shipped without payment of custom
or leave given, as was pretended.

Warrant from Treasurer Danby to the Customs Commissioners
to make an allowance of a third part of
the customs on defective wines belonging to George
Pott, merchant, who on 1672, May 15, bought of the
Commissioners for Prizes 20 small pipes of decayed
Malaga wines "out of the ship St. Peter at 4l. 5s. 0d.
per pipe or thereabouts [? and 14 pipes of Canary
wine] out of the St. Peter of Fredrichstadt at the
rate of 2l. 5s. 0d. per pipe or thereabouts" ; it
appearing that the said 20 pipes were but 3¼ of
full gauged pipes or butts (the pipes containing
not above 100 gallons each butt, whereas other
butts contain 126 gallons), and that John Digby who
bought a parcel of said wines out of the St. Peter
had an allowance of half custom : the said Pott's
wines having been removed from the King's
warehouse "upon a jealousy that the warehouse
would fall" which upon examination proved not
groundless.
