Prefixing: (a) Letter from the Privy Council of Ireland to the Duke of Ormonde, dated from the Council Chamber in Dublin, 1682, May 5, and signed by the Earl of Arran, Michael Archbishop of Armagh, Visct. Blessington, Visct. Lanesborough, Anth. bishop of Meath, W. Bishop of Kildare,[Sir] Cha. Feilding, [Sir] Cha. Meredith, [Sir] Oliver St. George, [Sir] William Davys, He Howe and [Sir] Jno. Davys. Upon application made to the King by a despatch from this board of 1680, Dec. 29, the King did by letter of 1680–1, Jan. 12, declare that the several sums of money which had been issued by royal warrant for several uses relating to the late horrid plot, amounting to 1,735l. 8s. 4d., should not be reckoned as any part of the 4,500l. per an. allowed by the [Irish] establishment for Concordatum, but should be taken as issued out of such moneys as had been or should be saved to his Majesty above what would defray the said establishment. It is since found necessary for his Majesty's service to give warrants for issuing several other sums of money for matters relating to the said plot, amounting to 822l. 9s. 10d. (being for witnesses that have made discoveries and maintaining prisoners and other uses relating thereto) as by the particulars enclosed [missing]. By the [Irish] establishment the abovesaid allowance for Concordatums cannot be exceeded without special directions therein from the King or the Privy Council in England. We have therefore prepared the following draft letter (b) for easing the allowance for Concordatums of these disbursements on account of the plot. |
|
|
(b) Said draft royal letter directing that the issues of said 822l. 9s. 10d. shall be reckoned as no part of the 4,500l. per an. allowed for Concordatums, but shall be taken as issued out of such other moneys as have been or shall be saved to his Majesty upon the Irish establishment. The Commissioners for passing the Vice-Treasurer's accounts are to allow the same accordingly. |

(c) Reference dated Hampton Court, 1682, May 23, from the King to the Treasury Lords of said draft. |

Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the petition of the Mayor, burgesses and inhabitants of Penryn for said town to be made a Coinage town and for leave to build a Coinage hall. We have advised with the Earl of Bath, Earl of Radnor and Lord Arundell of Trerice and on June 26 last did hear the matter by counsel. The greatest objections of the other Coinage towns was that it might occasion embezzlements of Coinage duty. Thereupon the principal inhabitants of Penryn offered to farm said duty at 6,000l. per an. for seven years, which is considerably more than it has produced by medium of late years. Having made an agreement accordingly with them for the farm of the said Coinage duty we advise grant for patent to make Penryn a Coinage town. |
