Treasurer Danby to the Earl of Bath. I perceive by the return
from the Stannators they would persuade themselves the tin is
their own ; which I will not at present dispute with them
because I see they are inclinable to comply with His Majesty in
a rational settlement. Only this much you may please to let
them know, if the tin be theirs yet by the law they cannot
carry it out of the country without His Majesty's licence : so
that it is both their interests to comply together to put it into
a certain way of management that the commodity may be no
drug but may be made fruitful to His Majesty, themselves and
the nation. And that I find they are ready to do by establishing
a certain price (which I doubt not will be reasonable). But it
seems they desire some person may appear to them on His
Majesty's behalf to assure them that the tin shall be taken off
their hands at the price it shall be set. You are the best
person to settle that affair between the King and them by
reason of your place and relation to them. If they shall
agree with you at such a rate as the King shall think fit to accept
you may appoint the Spring coinage [as the date] for the King
to enter upon payment. And I assure you there shall be no
failure on the King's part : and if there should the advantage
will be theirs, for they have done their duty and yet are at
liberty as they were before the price [was] set ; if they think
that any advantage to them, which for my own part I do
not according to the utmost understanding I have in that affair.
I shall leave it wholly in your hands to settle it fairly between
the King and your countrymen.

Royal warrant [to the Governor et al. of Barbados]. By patent
of 1670, Sept. 9, there is granted to Robert Spencer, Esq.,
Sir Charles Wheeler, bart., John Strode and John Marsh,
Esqrs., the duty of 4½ per cent. of all the dead commodities
of the growth and product of the Island of Barbados. It is
therein agreed that the Governors, Justices of the Peace, and
all other officers, both military and civil, shall aid said
Farmers and their agents in collecting said duty. There have
been complaints formerly made to us of great neglects and
discouragements given to said Farmers and their officers to
their loss, for prevention of which we have written several
letters to the Governors of Barbados, in particular one of
1671-2, Mar., and one of 1673, April. Notwithstanding, there
are still complaints from said Farmers that the said patent and
letters are not executed and particularly that they are not
suffered to weigh their sugar and take their just rights of the
full of the said duty according to the patent, but are forced to
take 1,250 lb. weight for a butt when they ordinarily weigh
1,700 and very often 1,800 and 1,900 lb. a piece, by which
they are domaged more than one third part of their farm, and
thereupon demand defalcations of rent to our damage. You
are hereby charged to cause all sugars and all other the commodities
of the growth of said island to be brought to the
Custom House of said island or other convenient places where
beams [and] weights are erected by said Farmers there to be
weighed and the just [tare weight] of the cask to be allowed,
as for a butt 140 lb., for a puncon 112 lb., for a hogshead 84
lb., for a terce 52 lb., which is the allowance of the merchants
here [in London]. Otherwise the cask to be weighed, that the
full duty of 4½ per cent. may be duly collected. And you are
strictly commanded to see the full powers and clauses of the
said patent and our said letters to be fully put in execution.
