Same to the Commissioners of Excise and Hearthmoney concerning the complaint made to the
Justices of Peace in Cheshire by Mr. Lawton of
Lawton, touching a distress taken from him by
William Hill, a collector of Hearthmoney. The
complaint is that on the Hearthmoney being
demanded Lawton tendered what he knew was
due, having paid same before and having
no more chimneys or firehearths [in his house
than previously]. Hill then told him he must
nevertheless pay for his cottages. Mr. Lawton
desired to know what his demands were and if more
were due he would pay it. Hill answered he could
not tell for he had not received them, but he would
go and view them and then give his demand. Mr.
Lawton desired to know when he would return and
he would expect him. Hill said in two hours. Mr.
Lawton stayed within three hours, then went out
and a short time after he was gone Hill came to
enquire for him. A servant in the house told him
he was gone out, but would not be long absent and
desired Mr. Hill to come into the buttery, which he
did, and the servant gave him drink in a silver bowl,
which he drunk off and put the cup in his pocket,
leaving word that he took it by way of distress for
the duty. This was proved before the Justices,
who condemned his taking distress before demand
made and required him to restore the cup. The
collector at first insisted on his instructions, which
he kept very secretly, but at last restored it. The
Justices then told him they conceived he ought not
to distrain upon the landlord in any case for a
cottage, but [save] where the tenant hath a legal
certificate to discharge him for the present year
"for where not [so done] every man is liable that is
not under some other qualification and that the collectors are no judges of the sufficiencies of the tenants
and therefore, no certificate appearing, he ought to
distrain the occupant; but he having done contrary
to this in this case was therefore committed, for
though the occupant had no certificate and sufficient
goods to distrain, yet he neglected that and distrained
the landlord." One of the Justices, in order that the
King's service might not suffer, offered to take his
own recognisance, but this he peremptorily refused
to give. |
Out Letters (General) IX, pp. 416–8. |
|
It is also represented to the Lord Treasurer as a
very hard thing "that landlords should pay for their
cottages [for a back period] longer than since the
resolution of the judges were known: for though
by law a time is set not exceeding two years to
collect, yet that seems to be only for such firehearths
as were payable by the law as then understood.
Besides the case (as it is alleged) is hard with a poor
man that must pay two payments at first when he
hath lived but half a year in the house." You are
to report to Treasurer Rochester on the above complaint. |

Appending: copy of the commitment dated Leftwich,
Aug. 27, by one of the Justices of Peace of co. Chester,
of said Hill to the Constable of Chester Castle for
taking a distress of two pewter dishes the goods of
Jno. Fishwick, clerk, minister of Northwich, for a
firehearth in a dwelling in Northwich wherein
William Milner, webster, is and has been his tenant
for two years last past, on pretence that said Milner
is a poor man; but the said Milner having produced
no certificate of his poverty to exempt him as the
statute directs: which distress the Justice therefore
adjudged to be tortious and ordered Hill to restore
the distress and in future to collect the duty of all
occupants who had not such certificates as aforesaid:
but the said Hill peremptorily refusing to restore
said distress, was bound over to the next General
Sessions of the Peace, but refusing to find surety
he is hereby committed as above. |

Royal warrant, dated Windsor Castle, to the Attorney
or Solicitor General for a privy seal for a grant to
Richard Allibon of the annuities of 40l. per an.
each granted to Richard Petre and Robert Petre
by their father, William Petre, esq., for their lives
out of the manor of Stanford Hall and other
hereditaments in Stanford Rivers, co. Essex, and
of all arrears thereon as under: it appearing upon the
information of the Attorney General in Easter term,
1684, that said Richard and Robert had withdrawn
themselves from their obedience into some school
or house of Jesuits, priests etc. and the said Richard
appearing to be outlawed for high treason and the
said Robert appearing to be convicted and attainted
of high treason, whereupon it was ordered that said
William Petre, owner of said manor, should pay to
the then King Charles II the 460l. arrears of the
said annuities and whatever accrued on the same
in future: but the said arrears and growing
annuities are still unpaid and the said Richard and
Robert are still living: wherefore said Allibon has
petitioned for a grant of said arrears and of said
growing annuities during the lives of said Richard
and Robert: upon which petition Richard Graham
and Philip Burton have reported that several persons
have petitioned for the same, but that Charles II's
death interrupted all proceedings therein and that
the abovesaid decree is still in force to the present
King, who may dispose of the said annuities and
arrears as he may think fit. |
King's Warrant Book XI, pp. 126–7. |
| Sept. 6. |
Royal warrant to the Clerk of the Signet for a privy seal
to Treasurer Rochester and to the Warden etc. of New
Forest to direct that the cutting of browsewood of
oak and beech in said forest shall be wholly suppressed, except some small quantities in extreme
hard weather for the necessary relief of the deer, in
which excepted cases the keepers shall not lop any
young or thriving trees, nor sell or dispose of any
wood, so cut, for their own use or benefit, but that
after the deer shall have done with the same the
wood that is left shall be sold for the King's use by
such Commissioners as shall be appointed for the
next sales in the said forest: and to dismiss any
official of said forest offending against this order:
all by reason that it appears by the returns of several
commissions and from daily experience that the
browsing and cutting of the great limbs and boughs
from the oaks in the King's forests, where nurseries
of wood and timber were designed, is utterly ruinous
to the timber of the said trees and frustrates the
expectation of good timber for the Navy; and that
several orders have formerly been made to restrain
immoderate browsing, but same were transgressed
by the keepers who had then very small salaries and
made profit out of the browsewood for their several
maintenance; but that of late years the wages of
the keepers have been considerably augmented so
that no pretence to the profits of browsing remain
on that account: and further the Surveyor of Woods
having reported that the deer in New Forest need
but little browse and that in hard weather only. |
King's Warrant Book XI, pp. 127–9. |
|
Further it appears by the like report that there
are in several parts of said forest great store of old
decayed oak and beech which are past any use for
the Navy and grow worse by standing and are often
taken unduly by the country people, and that 1,500l.
or 1,600l. per an. may be raised therefrom for the
King's use. It is hereby ordered that such decayed
trees be yearly felled in said forest not exceeding
2,000l. worth per an. to be sold for the King's use,
and the salaries of the keepers to be paid thereout
and the balance to be paid into the Exchequer or
otherwise as the King shall appoint. |

Reference by Treasurer Rochester, dated Treasury
Chambers, Whitehall, to the Customs Commissioners
and to the Governors of the East India Company, of
the petition to the King from Richard Lavington,
Richard Urry, William Jones, John Norman et al.
owners and freighters of the ship John and Mary of
London; 100 tons burden, William Derow, commander; petitioners shewing that the royal Proclamation
of 1685, April 1, restrained all the King's subjects,
except the members of the East India Company to
trade in the East Indies, wherein the King gave eight
months' time for bringing home such ships as were
already gone out; that petitioners did immediately
and do now resolve to obey said Proclamation, but
so it is that a little before its publication, viz., in
Dec., 1684, they laded said ship to Madagascar
and some other places thereabouts and she being
expected daily home, petitioners are in danger of
being great sufferers: they therefore pray the King's
protection for said ship and her lading "forasmuch
as the said island of Madagascar was frequently
traded to by any merchants till such time as your
petitioners' ship went out, without the least complaint of the said Company, and for that it was
impossible for your petitioner to recall the said
ship home within" the said eight months, and
inasmuch as her lading was not above 300l. when she
went out and she was not sent out with any design
to defraud the East India Company. |

Geo. Crosse, Jno. Peirce, Tho. Smyth, James
Mitchell, Rob. Mason, Rob. Gosse and Isaack Cooper,
private sentinels; shewing that in a former petition
they set forth that they served in Capt. George
Talbot's Company in Col. Kirk's Regiment of Foot
in Tangier for many years and until the demolishing
of that place and after their return to England were
commanded into Ireland, where they served as
Grenadiers in said Capt. Talbot's Company attending
Sir Thomas Newcomen's Regiment of Foot until
on July 20 last they were discharged by reason of
age, maimes and other infirmities, whereupon they
prayed the arrears due for their said service at
Tangier: that upon said petition Treasurer
Rochester ordered them six months' arrears, which
they accordingly received: but being much in debt
they have been forced to pay away the same towards
satisfying their creditors: therefore now pray an
order for payment of the remaining 19 months'
pay still due to them, they being all ancient, destitute
of employment, money, friends or other relief or
subsistence and likely to perish in the streets in their
decrepid old age unless relieved. |
