Warrant from Treasurer Latimer to Mr. Mountney, Receiver
General of Prizes. Nicholas Denham, a Customs officer at
Harwich, discovered and seized on board a collier vessel a
parcel of annotto, suspected to be stolen out of some prize.
The late Treasury Lords heard the matter before them and
ordered said annotto to be put in the hands of the officers for
Prizes, rendering Denham a moiety of said seizure. He has
yet had nothing of this although he has received much abuse
beside imprisonment. You are to pay him 20l. 19s. 5d. as the
value of said moiety.

Report from same to the King on the case of Sir William
Fleetwood, as by the order of reference of Dec. 9 last. I find
that King James granted said Fleetwood the reversion of the
office of Receiver General of the Court of Wards and Liveries,
then in possession of his father, Sir Miles Fleetwood, after
whose death Charles I granted said place to him for life in
regard of his long services, and he thereupon quietly enjoyed
same till the late wars began, and after by his great care and
pains brought to the King at Oxford 60,000l. upon account of
the same office. Soon after the Restoration, the said Court
being dissolved, most, if not all other the officers belonging to
the said Court had satisfaction given them for the loss of
their said offices, but Fleetwood received no recompence or
consideration for his said office though one of the chiefest both
in respect of credit and profit, being esteemed worth 2,000l. per
annum, in regard whereof the House of Commons voted 1662,
April 16, a recompense of 4,000l. to him, but the said sum was
never settled on any fund or paid to him. The want hereof and
his great losses in the late unhappy times have forced him to
contract great debts. He is a fit object of favour in view of
his long and faithful services to King James, Charles I, and
yourself for above 50 years in the same capacity of cupbearer
without any addition or promotion in the [Royal] family.

Same from Treasurer Danby [sic] to John Birch, Auditor of

Excise and Excise Commissioners in the business of exported
beer, I hereby order that the 364l. 11s. 6½d., detained from
the brewers who are exporters be forthwith repaid or defalked
to them by the said Farmers, and that for the future during
this farm no such money be detained by said Farmers or
Commissioners, nor any office kept to His Majesty's charge
concerning exported beer, it being agreed on all hands that the
King ought not to be loser or gainer by the Act of Parliament
in that behalf. As to the allowance of the several sums
demanded by said Farmers and Commissioners for exported
beer since 1671, June 24, I direct that the said Farmers'
account for the three years ending June 24 next be made up by
a medium of three years next before the commencement of
said Act, unless the London [Excise] Farmers show cause to
the contrary within seven days.

Order from Treasurer Latimer. Many inconveniencies and
irregularities have been occasioned by orders registered on
several branches of the revenue for money to be accompted
for by all persons that are to receive same as imprest and
upon accompt. Having perused the report hereon made by
Sir Ro. Long and Sir R. Howard to the late Treasurer Clifford
I do hereby lay down that all orders unassigned shall be
brought in and deposited in the hands of Sir Rob. Howard,
Auditor of the Receipt, who upon receipt of any such orders is
to deliver a list or certificate of same to the party that shall so
deposit same, and another [copy of said] list to the Lord
Treasurer, and another to the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
signing each list with his hand. And said Auditor is to enter
or record the same in some book to be kept by him for that
purpose. And he is likewise to take care that each of those
certificates or lists do continue [sic for contain] the names of
the persons to whom said orders are payable and the duties
[sic for dates] of said orders and the sums payable by them
and on what funds and after what sums same are registered.
And whereas many of the said imprest accomptants have by
assignments registered in the office of the said Auditor of the
Receipt assigned part of the moneys payable by some of the
said orders, and all the moneys payable by others of them, but
cannot regularly be charged with the moneys payable by such
orders till the same shall be paid to them or their assignees,
the said Auditor is hereby further directed at the end of every
prest certificate to charge every of the said accomptants by way
of memorandum with the whole moneys made payable to him by
such orders, and also in the said memorandum to express
how much thereof he has assigned, and to whom and when.
And in pursuance of the said memoranda the Auditor of the
Imprests is likewise to make a like memorandum upon the
Imprest account of every such accomptant, and the same
memorandum is to be continued upon all accounts of such
accomptants till the moneys payable by such orders shall be
fully paid and then the accomptant is to be charged with the
whole money payable by such order or orders. And if such
orders so assigned in whole or part be made payable to any
officer or to any other for the use of the offices of the Navy,
Ordnance, Works or Wardrobe, that then there be an entry
made in the said several and respective offices of such prest
certificates with such memorandums as aforesaid in some book
to be kept for that purpose and also of the orders themselves
with their dates and the sums payable by them and upon what
fund registered, in what course payable, what parts thereof
assigned, and to whom and when, with the day of the registry
of the assignment. And it is further ordered that if the said
accomptants who have assigned all or part of any orders payable
to them cannot make appear that there is some private
agreement between them and the assignees, which may be good
cause that they ought not to be charged with the sum assigned
(and if upon representation of such case to the Lord Treasurer
he shall not think fit to allow the same), that then the said
accomptants shall be charged with the moneys by them
assigned, because it is supposed they did not make such assignments
