Report to the King from Treasurer Danby dated from
Wallingford House on the petition of the Mayor,
commonalty and citizens of London, governors of the
possessions, revenues and goods of the Hospitals of
Edw. VI., Christ, Bridewell and St. Thomas the
Apostle : all as by the order of reference thereon
from Secretary Williamson Feb. 18 last [sic]. By
report from the Surveyor General of Crown Lands,
I find that the place mentioned in said petition extends
from the South East corner of the tenement
and ground belonging to the Hospital of Bridewell
now in the tenure of William Nurse near the place
called Frying Pan Stairs adjoining on the East part
to the houses and grounds of Dr. Benj. Whichcott
in his wife's right, now in the occupation of James
Braines along by the Thames side westward to the
South West corner of the house and ground of the
same hospital now in the tenure of John Wilson
towards Wapping Dock, in length about 450 foot
and in breadth about 84 foot at the East End, viz.
from Wapping Street to the South East corner of the
said ground (as it is now wharfed up) including 11
foot only taken in since the fire ; and about 76
foot at the West End thereof from the said street
to the Thames (as it is now wharfed in there) including
2 foot only taken in since the fire : and it
appears that the ground as it is now taken into the
wharf since the fire contains only 1729 foot more
than formerly was wharfed in, amounting to about
6 perches of ground besides the 2 stairs mentioned
in said petition, one whereof is placed at the end of
the street called King Edward St. and the other at
Wapping Dock which are necessary to be enlarged
to 12 foot in breadth or more if it shall be thought
fit with causeways to the low water mark for the
better landing of passengers, coals and other commodities
and especially for the more free access to
and from the water in case of fire, the want whereof
was the main occasion of burning most of the houses
consumed in the last dreadful fire there wherein
above 200 houses belonging to the said poor hospital
(besides many others) were then destroyed together
with great quantities of pitch, tar, timber, cables,
cordage, sails and other naval provisions. I find also
by the said report that there is belonging to the
hospital a further range of ground extending from
the West end of the said Wilson's tenement westwards
to the middle of the alley at a place called the
New Stairs towards the Tower containing in length
about 915 foot more whereon the said Stairs at
Wapping Dock and the said New Stairs are placed.
To the end that the wharfage alongst all the said
ground (being now crooked and irregular in a great
part thereof) may be inlarged and [made] more
straight and convenient I advise that this Hospital
may have a grant according to their petition not
only of the said six perches so taken in as aforesaid
but also of a perch or two more in depth of all alongst
the shore next adjoining to the said Hospital ground
containing about 80 pole in length in the whole :
whereby they may be encouraged to enlarge and
improve said wharfs, stairs and causeways for the
benefit of the public as well as their own.

Entry of Treasurer Danby's approval of the report
from the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland on the petition
of Callaghan, Earl of Clancarty to the King (as by
the order of reference of Jan. 24 last) ; said petition
shewing that for his brother's services the King
granted to petitioner all forfeited lands in the
barony of Muskerry not set out to adventurers,
soldiers or restored to proprietors : which [grant]
is like to ruin him because of 758l. per an. quit rents
demanded by John Forth and partners besides those
demanded by the undertakers amounting to 5,309l.
and therefore praying to be freed from arrears of
quit rent for the time past. Hereon the Lord
Lientenant reports that the whole arrear is 7,110l.
viz. 5,309l. to Forth and partners and 1,801l. to the
Earl of Ranelagh and partners and what shall be remitted
must be defalked to them : but because the
levying this arrear will distress petitioner and the
lands are coarse and barren, conceives that the King
may accept 3,000l. for the whole, payable by 1,000l.
a year.
