Same to Mr. Pepys. The Customs Commissioners

boat belonged to the Crown frigate, one of his
Majesty's ships at Spithead, Capt. Rumquill commander, who was then in the said boat, and being
asked if he had clearings for the wine pretended he
brought it from Sir Robert Holmes, who presented
it to him; and on Tucker's attempting to seize it
the Commander in a violent manner fell upon him,
hindered him seizing the wine and beat and abused
him, and one of his men felled him to the ground
and a fellow officer coming to Tucker's assistance
was threatened to have his brains knocked out,
upon which Tucker called the surveyor and they
pursued the said boat near two miles, but they
outrowed the Customs boat and carried off the
hogshead. |

and he was forced to take four others [Frenchmen] in
their places so that on his return to England he was
seized by Capt. Charles Lock for not being manned
according to the Navigation Act, he having returned
with oranges and lemons, which are allowed by said
Act to be imported by foreigners, only he had [also]
83 gallons of wine on board for which he has paid
foreigners' duty. The present release is in view
of the hardness of the case. |
Ibid. |
|
Same by same to the King's Remembrancer to continue

Ibid, pp. 151–2. |
|
Prefixing: report dated July 14 inst. from the Customs
Commissioners on the petition of Henry Ayloff,
King's Remembrancer, in trust for Visct. Fanshaw,
an infant. We have consulted Mr. Eden, the
Deputy Remembrancer of the Exchequer, as to
the necessity or usefulness of the said parchment
books which are sent to the Customs officers of the
several ports by the King's Remembrancer. He
informs us that the said books are of two sorts:
the one is Coast Books taken for subsidy goods
passing coastwise from port to port within the
kingdom for which bonds are taken for their delivery
accordingly and their not being exported without
payment of Custom. As to the continuance and
regular return of these there have been some late
declaratory orders of the Treasury Lords and the
Barons of the Exchequer. The other sorts are
books for the entering of all warrants that pass
for subsidy or custom inwards or outwards and
these are yearly transcripts from the public books
which are kept in each Custom House and are
annually returned into the Remembrancer's Office
upon oath and are there kept: but [they are] not
made use of in any part of the [Customs Receiver
General's yearly] account that is made to the King
of the revenue of the Customs "nor is consistent
with the method that now is and for some time
hath been used in accompting for that revenue,
which [present method consists in] returns [of]
quarterly accounts from the outports and weekly
from the port of London under several checques,
examinations and attestations which those parchment books are not liable to nor capable of. But
it is most probable that in former times when each
Customer of a port or particular duty was an immediate and distinct accomptant to the King in his
Exchequer those books were the only return and
charge upon the accomptant and were accordingly
delivered to the auditors to frame the accompts.
But we conceive that now the chief use that can
be made of or reason that can be given for the
sending of those books into the Exchequer is that
they may be there reposited as records for the
use and inspection of the King or any subject if
occasion require in future times and the rather
because there is no public place or repository that
we know of appointed for the other Custom books
(which commonly follow the change and will of
the respective officers); for the [general yearly]
accompt being perfected with the King by the other
returns to the auditors as aforesaid there is no
great regard had to the perpetuating the books
which were the originals of those accounts in each
Custom House. And perhaps the books or accompts
that are [under the present method] delivered to
the auditors will not be of so easy or common access
to any private person that shall desire it. And
there is this further argument for the continuance
of those books, that in case the King's Customs
should happen to be in farm there is then no account
of the proceed of the revenue returned to the auditors
but only an account of the Farmers' discharge of
their rent according to covenants; and in that case
these books are the only fixed and recorded memorials of the revenue." We therefore advise their
continuance as the only objection is their cost:
the labour of writing and returning them is merely
part of the officer's duty. |

Warrant by same to [the King's Remembrancer]
for a commission to the Customs Commissioners, Customs Farmers and chief officers
in London port for setting out the bounds etc.
of the quays, wharves etc. in London port
in accordance with the certificate dated May 24
last from the Commissioners appointed 1667,
Mar. 29 (supra, Calendar of Treasury Books,
Vol. I, p. 736), for the survey and delimiting of
the said quays, wharves and open places in said

to the Barons of the Exchequer and approved by
Charles II by a Commission under the Exchequer
seal dated 1667, Aug. 31: which said certificate
is hereby in every part thereof approved and to be
put in execution and duly observed. The names
of the Commissioners in the Commission of 1667,

Warrant, dated Tunbridge Wells, by Treasurer
Rochester to [John Fisher] the Deputy Surveyor
General of Crown Lands, for a particular and ratal
of a tenement [in Mewsham, co. Cornwall, and
parcel of the manor of Carnedon Prior], with a
view to a lease thereof to John Budg. |
Warrants not Relating to Money XI, p. 331. |
|
Prefixing: said Fisher's report dated July 2 inst. on
said Budg's petition for same. The tenement was
granted 1625–6, Mar. 11, to John Robert, petitioner's
grandfather, for 99 years terminable on three lives,
whereof John Oliver is the survivor. It is valued
at 10l. per an. I advise a fine of 40l. for a fresh
lease for two new lives at the old rent of 10s. and
at the accustomed heriot, which by the Parliamentary survey is certified at 3l. |
|
|
Same by same to same for a particular and ratal of a
tenement in Upton in the parish of Linkinhorne
in the manor of Carnedon Prior with a view to a
fresh lease thereof to Edwd. Kneebone. |
Ibid, pp. 331–2. |
|
Prefixing: report ut supra. The tenement has been
long in petitioner's family and is valued in the
Parliamentary Survey at 27l. per an., but Sir
Richard Prideaux certified that this was purposely
overrated by them because of the loyalty of petitioner
and his father in the late rebellion. Prideaux valued
it but at 15l. 10s. per an., and it was so rated in the
lease granted in 1662. In view of the death of his
son, whose life also was shortened by his fidelity,
I advise a lease for two fresh lives at a fine of 60l.,
the old rent of 20s. 4d. per an. and the accustomed
heriots, which in the Parliamentary Survey are
certified at 20s. 4d. |
|
|
Same by same to same for a same of two small tenements in Austell Prior, co. Cornwall, with a view to
a lease thereof to Andrew Came. |
Ibid, pp. 332–3. |

Prefixing: report ut supra. The first tenement is
held by petitioner under a lease to his grandfather,
John Came, 2 Car. I, for the life of Elizabeth Vivian
yet in being at the old rent of 10s. and for the life
of Henry Trelawney on a second lease thereof to
Henry Seymour, 1664, April 26, which [latter interest]
is alleged to be long since assigned to petitioner's
grandmother, Ann Came, deceased. I advise a fine
of only 40s. for a fresh lease for petitioner's life. |

The second tenement was granted 4 Car. I to
Joseph May and a like further interest was therein
granted to said Seymour for the lives of two others
of Mr. Trelawney's brothers, viz. Jonathan Trelawney, now Bishop of Bristol, and Charles Trelawney.
I advise a fine of only 40s. for a like fresh lease to
petitioner as the existing lives in being are young
and healthy. |

Prefixing: report dated June 30 last by John Fisher,
Deputy Surveyor General of Crown Lands, on
said Davies's petition for same. The premises were
granted to William Wynn in 1662 for a term which
will expire in 1693. Wynn assigned to petitioner

terms as above. |
