Instructions from same to same in reply to their
presentments of the 23rd inst. (1) The Receiver
General of Customs is to pay 134l. 0s. 8d. to Charles
Osborne for his disbursements in destroying tobacco
in cos. Gloucester, Worcester and Warwick in
July, 1676, "the perticulars whereof were specified
in the bill which you laid before me." (2). He is
also to pay 3l. 11s. 10d. to William Yardley for
his expenses in the condemnation of the things
delivered to the Dean of Rochester ; for which
things Yardley has paid in the King's moiety.
(3) You are to pass at 1½ hogsheads [for] each
cask the 94 casks of French wine imported from
Marseilles by Mr. Paravicine in uncertain cask
[ranging] from 90 to 105 gallons and the 15 cask
of Smyrna wine imported by Mr. Bush and the wines
imported by Mr. Boutell, Mr. Kendall, Mr. Nelson
and Mr. Caryle in the same ship from Marseilles
in similarly uncertain cask. (4) You are to deliver
the three pieces of white Lyndsey woolsey sent to
William Thompson from Scotland to be dyed and
returned and the 56 yards of Lynsy woolsey sent
to Bartho. Gyles for the like purpose : security
is to be given for returning the same to Scotland
and payment of Custom ad valorem in regard the
duty [as by the Book of Rates] is greater than
they are worth. (5) As to the allowances claimed
for the 781 quarters of wheat 1,081 quarters of rye,
274 quarters of barley, 3,410 quarters of malt
exported at Wells cum Burnham, a member of
[the port of] Lynn Regis, which [debentures for
allowance] the collector of Lynn Regis scruples to
pay in regard the certificates requisite by the law
were not sworn to before the corn was shipped.
You are nevertheless to order him to pay same
to the respective exporters as if the certificates
had been signed by the merchants and sworn to
in due time ; it appearing that the said certificates
and the entries in the Collector's Journal and the
bonds taken by the collector at the clearing away
of the respective ships at Wells and likewise the
certificates of landing the corn beyond sea, do
exactly agree, and that it was the neglect of the
officer that said certificates were not signed in
due time. (6) The money deposited by Mr. Bowles
for the duty of the goods shipped for Tangier is to be
re-delivered to him on his producing a certificate
of landing said goods there. (7) Edward Agberow
the pricker of the Styllyard (whom I thought fit
to do duty as a landwaiter London port on his
[steelyard] salary of 52l. per an.) is to nominate
his deputy by Sept. 1 next : such deputy to be
approved by you. (8) "I approve of the method
you layd before me for passing the accounts [of
the Coinage money] granted the 25 [year] of the
King [viz. the accounts] for the port of London
and for the outports. (9) Your solicitor is to attend
the Attorney General for his advice to prosecute
Mr. Arnold, one of Stockdale's securities, he having
not given bond pursuant to my warrant of Jan 1 ast.

Report from same to the King on the petition of Anne
Finch, daughter of Capt. William Finch, late
commander of the York frigate and slain in service
about two years since. Your Majesty by royal
sign manual to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland
ordered her a pension of 200l. per an. for five years
out of the revenue of Ireland : said grant never
passed under any seal and was not put upon the
establishment and so was not paid. If any alteration
be made in the establishment of Ireland or upon the
vacancy of any pension petitioner is a fit object of
compassion.
