Same to the Excise Commissioners. My Lords have

and Hearthmoney and for which bills were drawn
on said Commissioners ; as also concerning the

Majesties' [Navy victualling] brewhouses in London.
The King is indebted to the said Commissioners
(upon account of victuals furnished during their
management) in a far greater sum than those bills
and the Excise of the drink so brewed amounts to.
You are therefore not to press the said Commissioners
for any of the said money till further order. Further,
my Lords are informed that you have bills upon
Mr. Thomas Rodbard for 1,882l. As the King is
likewise indebted to him in a much greater sum
for victuals by him furnished for the use of the
Navy you are similarly not to press him for payment
till further order from my Lords. |
