Royal warrant to the Attorney or Solicitor General for a
great seal for arranging loans on the Hereditary Excise
and the Post Office revenue as follows. By the
Act of 12 Car. II [c. 24] for taking away the Court
of Wards and Liveries etc. confirmed by 13 Car. II
[c. 7], certain Excise rates were settled on the
Crown for ever. By the Act of 12 Car. II [c. 35]
for erecting a Post Office certain rates and payments
for postage are settled, which rates etc. by other
later Acts are lawfully payable to the Crown.
Further, by several Acts of Parliament orders in
the Exchequer are assignable without revocation.
And the King is resolved to borrow of his subjects
or others any sums not exceeding 300,000l. in the
whole "to be employed for the support of our
urgent and extraordinary affairs." For the encouragement
of lenders thereto the King hereby
declares that a moiety of the said [Hereditary]
Excise and [three fourths] of the profits of the said
General Letter Office, or Post Office, or Office of
Postmaster General, shall be appropriated to the
satisfaction of such loans "together with such
other sums as we may direct to be satisfied out of
the said revenues in course, as the orders for the
said loans, or the said other sums shall stand in
the register for the same, hereby directed to be
kept and with such interest as is hereafter mentioned."
It is therefore hereby directed that the
Excise Commissioners shall at their head Office in
London from Sept. 29 next keep separate a
moiety of the receipts of said [Hereditary] Excise,
and keep a separate account thereof to which all
persons concerned shall have free access at all
reasonable times : and the said moiety receipts
shall be paid into the Exchequer weekly every
Wednesday, distinct and apart from all other
moneys whatsoever. And similarly the Postmaster
General shall from same date keep distinct and
separate the three fourth parts of the receipts of
said Office, and keep a distinct account thereof
and pay it into the Exchequer weekly as above.
And no tallies of assignment, tallies of anticipations,
warrants or any other thing shall at any time be
levied or made to hinder or divert such actual
payment. And the Auditor of the Receipt shall
keep a fair and perfect book in his Office of these
[two branches of] revenues, to which book the
lenders or their assigns shall have free access.
And thereon any persons, as well natives as
foreigners, may lend up to a total of 300,000l. as
above and have thereon tallies of loan and orders
of repayment, with 6 per cent payable quarterly.
And the Auditor of the Receipt shall keep a register
for said orders of repayment and for all orders
"for any other payments to be made by our direction,"
all said orders to be entered therein according
to their respective dates and not otherwise and
without giving undue preference of one before
another : and thereto all persons concerned shall
have free access. And the said parts of the said
revenues are hereby set apart and appropriated to
the satisfaction of said orders so registered and to
no other use until the same be fully paid off and
discharged in their due course according to said
register. Any official who in any way contravenes
the order or sequence of said register is to forfeit
his place and to make good the damage of the
party aggrieved. No fees or rewards to be taken
of the lenders in respect of loans as herein. |
