Warrant from Treasurer Danby to the Customs Commissioners.
You formerly represented to me that
with a view especially for preventing the importation
of European goods into the Colonies of New England
contrary to law and for taking care that such
ships as there lade the enumerated commodities
brought from other of his Majesty's Plantations
(which are in great quantities carried from thence
to other parts of Europe, and not brought to
England) do there give bond for that purpose [i.e., to
bring them to England] it is necessary that an officer
be settled at Boston, the principal seat of trade in
those parts, with power to him to appoint such
deputies as he shall see necessary in other places.
And you have proposed a salary of 100l. per an. for
such an officer, besides 30l. to transport him thither.
You are hereby to depute Daniel Whitfield to be
Collector, Surveyor and Searcher in the said Colonies
of New England, his fitness being certified by the
officers whom you appointed to examine the same.
He is to have power to make deputies as above, and
to have the abovesaid salary and transport and such
instructions as you shall think necessary.

sheriff of Essex.
Prefixing : (a) Particular made April 20 last by
the Clerk of the Pipe of said office of Bailiff as
demised by patent of 1625, May 23, to Richard
Pulley, junr., "which the Clerk of the Pipe by
way of memorandum certifies to be granted amongst
other things by patent dated 1629, Oct. 2, to Gilbert
North, Esq., his heirs and assigns for ever under
the same rent : but the said rent was constantly
paid to [sic for by] Richard Pulley, who died
about half a year since."
(b) The Surveyor General's ratal dated April 25 last
of said particular, said ratal being made under
Treasurer Danby's warrant of March 1 last. The

Richard Coote, son of Charles, Earl of Mountrath,
praying a pension in reversion when there shall

in reversion of any pensions or temporary payments
now in being may be granted said Coote in view of
the eminent services of petitioner's father and grandfather.
Said report being April 9 last referred to
Treasurer Danby, the latter hereby reports fully
agreeing with the same.

Same from same on the report dated 1677, June 21,
made by Sir John Temple, Solicitor General in
Ireland, to the Lord Lieutenant (in obedience to
the Earl of Essex, Lord Lieutenant's order of
reference of 1677, May 14) on the petition of Edmond
Malone. In said report Sir John Temple states that
he finds that most of the lands in the schedule
annexed to the petition were by patents of 1619,
Dec. 9, granted to Edmond Malone, petitioner's
grandfather, and his heirs without reservation of any
rent to the King ; whereby [by which letters patent]
the said lands were created into a manor to be called
the manor of Kilgarvan and there was also granted
to him a fair to be held on the lands of Ories on
the 15th of August yearly. Petitioner exhibited
a claim for said lands before the late Commissioners
for executing the Acts of Settlement and Explanation,
and was by their decree dated 1663, July 28,
adjudged an Innocent Protestant and his father
and grandfather were adjudged Innocent Papists
and they being dead, he was by said decree restored
to all the lands in the schedule annexed to his
petition. All the lands contained in the said
schedule are returned by the civil survey to have
been in 1641 the property of Edmond Malone, the
petitioner's father. A suit depended for several
years in the Exchequer between the King and
petitioner, whether he being restored to his estate
as an Innocent Protestant was liable to pay quit
rent thereout, and it was decided after several
arguments on both sides that it was liable to quit
rent, which amounts to 43l. per an. Petitioner
desires a confirmation of said lands by new letters
patent and for same to be created into a manor to
be called by the name of Buollynehowen and for
said fair to be kept hereafter at Buollynehowen,
which is now the place of petitioner's residence ; in
consideration thereof petitioner offers to surrender
the letters patent of James I., and to continue
liable to the said quit rent of 43l. per an. or thereabout
now charged upon the said lands, and to
waive all advantages that he might have by bringing
a writ of error for reversal of the said judgment
in the Exchequer making him liable to said quit
rent. Hereupon Sir John Temple is of opinion it
would be advantageous to pass such new grant
in regard the case concerning the liability to pay
quit rent depended very long in the Exchequer
and seemed to be a very doubtful case. Said
Temple's report being referred March 18 last to
Treasurer Danby, the latter hereby reports fully
agreeing with the same. Memorandum ; "all
that came with this report of the Solicitor General
is Mr. Malone's petition without any reference
upon it or list annexed to it."

Warrant from Treasurer Danby to the Customs Commissioners
to examine the allegations as in the
petition following and if true, and if the prohibitions
in the late Poll Act will permit, then to forthwith
suffer the vessel as follows and her lading
to proceed on her intended voyage, notwithstanding
the present embargo.
Prefixing : Order of the King in Council dated Whitehall
April 26 last. The petition of John Mayne
and divers other woollen merchants in and about
Exeter was this day read, setting forth that fearing
a sudden breach with France they did in Feb. last
dispatch a small vessel called the Merchants' Adventure,
burden 26 tons, John Fourse master, manned
with five men and a boy, to bring off from thence
in linen the effects [proceeds] of their woollen manufactures
to the value of 6,000l. then lying there.
But by contrary winds said vessel returned not to
Exeter till March 23 last, after which, and not
before, they were informed of a law [the Poll Act]
prohibiting the importation of French commodities
[from and after] the 20th of the said month. Whereupon
being put to great straits they at length
concluded to send the said vessel with her lading
entire without declaring or entering the said goods
or breaking bulk to some foreign market, but were
prevented by the embargo, and therefore begged
the Privy Council to commiserate their sad
condition and the many hundred of poor workmen
in the said manufacture that depend upon them
and to permit said vessel to sail to some foreign
market. On reading said petition it is referred to
Treasurer Danby to examine the allegation of not
breaking bulk, and if true, to permit the vessel to
depart, notwithstanding the embargo.

term of 31 years it shall be made appear to the
King, his heirs or successors and the Privy Council
that this intended grant is prejudicial or inconvenient
to the King's service, that then it shall
be lawful for the King by advice of the Privy Council,
upon full proof thereof, to determine the same by
great seal or privy seal.
