Bridges on said Kent's petition for same. "That

of the Customs presented to the then Lords Commissioners
of the Treasury, with the certificates
from Sir Robert Howard, dated 16 May, 1690, by
which it does appear that the money paid into the
Exchequer [out] of Customs within the times
mentioned does exceed the payments made upon
the weekly certificates [by the amount of] the said
sum of 15,000l. ; which Kent alleges is the money
which he lent by direction of the then Lords Commissioners
of the Treasury upon the credit of several
tallies on the Customs, whereof 5,000l. was repaid
him upon the 7th of March, 1688-9, and bonds
were put into his hands for the remaining 10,000l.,"
as is certified by Giles Lytcott, Comptroller General

by Thomas Fox, [the present] Cashier of the Customs.
The whole 15,000l. was repaid by Nov. 15 last.

principal : thus leaving 475l. 5s. 6d. still due for

Treasury reference to Charles Fox and Thomas
Conningsby [Paymasters of the Forces in Ireland]
of the petition of W. Fownes, agent to Col. Richard
Cunningham's Regiment of Foot, shewing that
said Regiment now in Scotland (being one of the
four Regiments taken into the Irish establishment)
has been out of Scotch pay since Jan. 1 last and
notwithstanding all endeavours hitherto for procuring
constant subsistence, as yet the Regiment
has only received from hence [London] 300l. [sic]
part of the 200l. [sic] sent [to] the Lord High Commissioners
to Scotland to be distributed amongst
the abovesaid four Regiments : that the condition
of Col. Cunningham's Regiment is so deplorable
for want of money as not to be expresst and unless
speedily supplied must of necessity be lost : the
clothing of officers and soldiers is sent for Ireland
with the clothing provided by his Majesty for the
other Forces in that service, so that the necessity
of this Regiment for their clothes (if not commanded
for Ireland speedily) will be near as great as for
money : therefore praying the Treasury Lords to
[re]present this to the King. |

Williamson, shewing that he was appointed Receiver

sums for the uses of the Danish Forces
and to take up on credit other sums for so much
as he had not of the King's money in hand "for
which their Lordships directed to allow him advance" :
all which he did at great trouble and charge and
made payment [thereof or of parts thereof] at
places of a great distance. His total receipt therein
is near 30,000l. Being now upon passing his
accounts, he prays allowance therein of 133l. 10s. 0d.

Same to same (Bartholomew Fillingham, Tho. Hall,
Edmund Woodruff and Philip Reyly) of the petition
of said Williamson as Receiver General for the
late Poll [the first Poll, 1 Wm. and Mary, c. 13]
for cos. Durham and Northumberland and Berwick
on Tweed, shewing that in his said trust he rode
post from London to Newcastle to attend the
Commissioners, which he did at most of their
general meetings and in their several divisions in
said counties, and his receipts amounted to 2,000l.
more than any former Poll Act came to for those
counties : "that the Comptroller's office at Newcastle
[port, which office is held by petitioner]
neither for the last nor this present year hath been
at half the value as in times of peace, yet the Commissioners
for the Poll Act there did assess your
petitioner for the said office after the rate of those
years when trading was at the best, to pay 3s.
per £, which he and his deputies have paid, being
33l. 12s. 0d." : therefore prays that same may be
allowed him for his good service and for "paying
it for the encouragement of others, being more
than any of the greatest quality or estate paid
within that receipt" : further prays allowance
of 160l. for his charges in his said receipt, which
have been very great in regard of the wideness of
the said Committees and the dilatory payment of
part of the money and the difficulty of the returns
of the money to London. |

being bound for Nantes in France : that they took
the indico out of the prize and put it on board the
King William and sailed for Plymouth, "where
finding it most convenient to put the said indico
on board the same prize out of which it was taken,"
the same being 21 barrels of indico, was there
seized by Paul Hex and other officers of the Customs,
upon pretence that the said captain designed to
land it, which they did not intend," wherefore the
Ambassador desires a restoration of the indico. |
