Treasury reference to the Attorney General of Sir Charles Bickerstaffe's petition to the King shewing that many persons make and sell wares of gold and silver fraudulently and contrary to many Acts of Parliament. The fines and forfeitures hereon are lost to the Crown for want of a greater encouragement to the prosecutor and the King's subjects are defrauded to a considerable value yearly as the Goldsmiths' Company do acknowledge, and these evil minded men are so accustomed to their deceipt that there is few wares of gold or silver to be bought that is of the true alloy or standard as it ought to be. Therefore prays a grant of a moiety of all fines and forfeitures arising from such persons as deal in gold and silver contrary to law: all in order to encourage him in the prosecution thereof. (Henry Guy to the
Attorney General explaining the merely verbal difference between the reference of June 25 hereon, hereby cancelled, and the present reference.) |

Petitioner prays a grant of five sixth parts of all such ships and goods as in the last two Dutch wars were made prize from the States of the United Provinces which were not accounted for or brought into any port of England, Wales or Berwick, all for his pains and charges in recovering same. We referred this matter April 28 last to Sir Richard Lloyd, kt., Judge of the High Court of Admiralty, and agree with his report ut infra thereon. If the petition be granted direction should be given for prosecuting in the Admiralty Court the persons chargeable for said prizes, but that all money recovered thereon be paid into the Exchequer and that petitioner be granted such proportion thereof as your Majesty think fit in consideration of his pains etc. in recovering same. |

Prefixing: said report dated Doctors Commons, May 8, from Sir Richard Lloyd. All ships and goods that were taken from the Dutch in the last two wars cease wholly to belong to the Dutch without any compensation or restitution by article four of the peace at Breda, 1667, which treaty is confirmed by the subsequent articles of peace of 1673–4. The value and proceed of such as were so taken and condemned for prize and not answered or accompted for to the King and such ships and goods as were lawfully seized and not brought to condemnation but concealed and embezzled [are still to be answered to the King] and the persons concerned in the said fraudulent and indirect practices and concealments their executors and administrators remain still chargeable to the King and the King may order prosecution thereof and grant such proportion as shall be thought fit of such of the premises as shall be recovered by said Tench at his own charge. |

Vincent and Edmund Bostock in trust for the whole; that the patentees disposed of 7/32 parts of the farm to some of the Excise Commissioners who were Treasurers of Excise, who advanced about 90,000l. of the [total 250,000l.] advance money, out of the King's treasure or credit and by law could not enjoy the same as being Commissioners; that the whole matter being discovered to the King by petitioner to his great loss and hazard, notwithstanding the threats of the said
Commissioners and the discouragements published in the Gazette, petitioner did make the fraud and illegality thereof appear; for doing thereof petitioner was promised a quarter of the farm without any further advance of rent; this was not in any manner performed or made good to him; upon petitioner's applying to the King he had a reference to Treasurer Danby for compensation; that although the rent [of the Excise] was advanced 20,000l. per an. by petitioner's discovery, yet the money not being effectually paid till the end of the farm (before which time petitioner went into Ireland in the employment of the [Irish Revenue] Farmers), but the whole 60,000l. is now fully paid, yet petitioner has received no compensation and has been at the loss and expense of some thousands of pounds in the said discovery.
