Report to the King from Treasurer Danby on a draft
letter dated May, 1677 [from the King] to the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland ; said letter being to the
following effect. The salary or entertainment allowed
to Roger, Earl of Orrery as President of Munster by
his patent exceeds the allowance for same in the late
establishment [of Ireland, in the item for pay] of his
salary by about 72l. per an. By a royal letter dated
Whitehall, 1674, May 9, it was ordered that the
said 72l. or so much as the said late [Irish] establishment
was [as to this item] short of the old [Irish]
establishment should be forthwith added and inserted
in the said late establishment. And yet in
the present establishment notwithstanding, the item
for said Earl's salary is the same as first entered in
the said late establishment. At the request of said
Earl so much as above is hereby ordered to be inserted
in the present establishment [of Ireland] and
that the same from and after Sept. 29 next be paid
to him in the same portions and times as the rest
of the establishment is, and the arrears of the same
from the commencement of the present establishment
to Sept. 29 next are to be paid him by the
Vice-Treasurer of Ireland out of such money as the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland shall appoint. The
above draft letter being referred to Treasurer
Danby, May 17, by Secretary Coventry, Treasurer
Danby hereby approves same.
