Same to the Agents for Taxes of the petition of Henry
Brabant, shewing that his father, Sir Henry Brabant,
was farmer of Excise for cos. Northumberland and
Durham, for which he gave bond in 2,000l. and
other bonds for 4,700l. (conditioned to pay 2,350l.
on Lady day, 1668) and for 2,350l. (conditioned to
pay 1,175l. on 24 June, 1668, at which date his
farm determined) : that the great sickness and
the first Dutch war lessened the value of said farm
so much that he did not raise the rent of 4,700l.
reserved on said farm, but lost thereon and moreover
lost about 6,000l. in arrears, which were uncollected
by him when his farm was let to others ; wherefore
he petitioned Charles II for an abatement and was
promised same : but from his papers it appears
that the whole farm rent due 1668, June 24, was
paid, except only 1,372l. 9s. 0d. or thereabouts,
which remains due to the King, and also 140l.
received by him [petitioner's father] for Customs in
Sunderland during the suspension of the collector
there : that petitioner's said father is dead, leaving
a small personal and no real estate and that much
encumbered and a widow and four children unprovided
for : therefore prays a grant of said debts
with liberty to sue in the King's name for recovery
of same : all in view of the loyalty of said father,
as also of petitioner himself, which is attested by
Capt. Copley, Lieut. Governor of Hull. |
Ibid, p. 178. |

Same to Sir Christopher Wrenn of the petition of

neighbours in the Spring Garden, shewing that
the ground lying between the Park and the Duke of
Northumberland's house, which in Charles I's time
was a bowling green, is become a great nuisance
to the inhabitants by the continual throwing of
filth and dirt there : therefore praying that same
may be enclosed and cleansed and made a garden
and that he may be keeper thereof. |

Treasury warrant to the Clerk of the Pipe for a lease

thereof by William Harbord, Surveyor General of
Crown Lands.
Followed by : a later Treasury order, dated May 28,

Webb, pondkeeper to their Majesties, and the yard
on the north side thereof, about 71 foot by 29 foot. |
King's Warrant Book XV,
pp. 23-4. |
Same to the Surveyor General of Crown Lands
for a particular of a close called the Marsh
Lands in St. Giles's, co. Midd., with a view to a
lease thereof to Thomas Neale, in reversion of the
lease to Sir Richard Stydolph, which determines
1731-2, Mar. 12 : at the old rent of 3l. per an. and
increased rent of 97l. per an. and fine of 100l.
Prefixing : (a) said Neale's petition (as referred from
the King to the Treasury Lords Jan. 1 [? ult.] and
by said Lords to Mr. Harbord Jan. 14) : petitioner
shewing that said close was granted 1601-2, Mar. 12,
to Nich. Morgan and Thomas Horne for 60 years
in reversion of three lives, which ended 1655-6,
Mar. 12 ; that on 30 Aug., 1672, Charles II granted
to Sir Richard Styddolf, kt. and bart. (in whom
said lease to Morgan became vested by several
mesne assignments), a 16 years' extension of the
existing term ; therefore praying a reversion for
18 years, which will fill up the existing term again
to 60 years. (b) Report thereon by William Harbord,
Surveyor General of Crown Lands. The grant of
Aug., 1672, was without fine as an encouragement
to Styddolfe to erect some new buildings on the
premises, there being then only some very small
old houses standing thereon, some of two and others
but of one clear story under the roof, in respect
whereof the reversion [to the Crown] was esteemed
of very little value. This piece of ground has been
leased by Sir Richard Stydolfe to one James Kendrick
for 31 years from 1660, Sept. 29, with other lands
adjoining of about 10l. per an. value, at 40l. per an.
rent and 180l. fine, by which it seems the premises
were then esteemed worth 50l. per an., and I am
informed that the small houses now standing
thereon and built by said Kendrick (though most
of them are ruinous and must be rebuilt) have
raised the present value thereof to near 100l. per an.
Petitioner claims no interest in the existing term. |
