take leave to represent and offer to your Consideration That Sir Paul Pindar most faithfully served King Iames and the Honorable Turky Company for the space of Eleven Years together at Constantinople in the quality of an Embassador where he much improved the English Woollen Manufactures and the Levant Trade And at his return into England set up the Allome Works in York-shire and other Counties wherein he employed many Hundreds of poor People out of which improvement a certain Revenue of Ten Thousand pounds per Annum did accrew to the Crown and as much more to the Stock of the Kingdom by importation of ready Money and Staple Goods for Allome exported which Allome Works are now of little or no Advantage to the Crown or Kingdom That Sir Paul Pindar in the years 1638 and 1639 having lent and advanced of his own Estate and of Moneys taken up upon his Credit Eighty five Thousand pounds to Furnish the Crown with Jewels and to supply the Queen of Bohemia and her Children in their Wants and Necessities as also for Supplies of Foreign Embassadors and other Services in his Majesties Domestick affairs The late King Charles was Gratiously pleased to Assign for the Security and Repayment of the said Moneys with usual Interest part of the Revenue arising by Fines and Compositions upon Recusants Estates in the Northern Counties under the Collection of Thomas Viscount Wentworth And also other Moneys payable out of divers branches of the Revenue as by Tallies struck upon the same and the several Assignments under the Great Seal of England appears which Payments were diverted in the late Troubles before any considerable part of the said Debt was paid that still remains a Charge upon the Crown to the value of Fifty Thousand pounds and upwards That the said several Assignments under the Great Seal of England and all Writings concerning the same and all Summs of Money whatsoever payable from the Crown upon the said Assignments being Granted Transferred and Assigned to Richard Powel of the Inner Temple Esq and Nathaniel Hill of London Gent. their Executors Administrators and Assigns in Trust for the Use and Benefit of themselves and all the rest of the Persons interessed according to their several and respective Debts and Demands They lately exhibited their Humble Petition to his Majesty setting forth the State of their Debt and for other reasons contained in their Petition more especially for that Sir Paul Pindar for the Preservation of the Royal Family and transportation of his now Majesty when he was Prince of Wales in the time of the late Troubles had Voluntarily supplyed the late King with Moneys to a considerable value in Gold which Loyalty and Care his Majesty hath lately owned for a most acceptable Service Humbly prayed That his Majesty would be gratiously pleased to grant them Satisfaction for their said Debt out of the Fines and Compositions payable by Recusants vested in the Crown by several Acts of Parliament Whereupon His Majesty was Graciously pleased to refer the Consideration of the said Petition to the Right Honorable the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury to Report their Opinions upon the same what was fit for his Majesty to do therein for the Petioners relief and then His Majesty would declare His further Pleasure Whereupon the Petitioners attended several days at the Treasury Chamber to be Heard and being once called in their Lordships informed the Petitioners that the then Parliament intended to appropriate the said Revenue and that it was proper for the Petitioners to apply themselves to the Parliament and that the Petitioners might have a Report from their Lordships at any time when they thou ght it Convenient The Complaynants therefore Humbly hope That if this Parliament enter upon the Consideration of appropriating that Revenue they may be secured their Just Debt by a Proviso in any Bill that shall Pass to that effect They having already made a great Retrospect into that Revenue and are willing at their own Charge and Expences to make a perfect return into the Exchequer of all the Papists in every County throughout England and Wales with the true value of their Estates which will bring in a considerable yearly Revenue to the Crown and be a great Satisfaction and Safety both to the Parliament and the whole Kingdom A Brief State of the Allome-Works BEfore Allome was made in England the Kingdom was served with Romish Allom being the Popes Commodity whereof he made a large Revenue it being sold here for 50 and 60 l. per Tun and sometimes more To gain this Manufacture King Iames undertook the management and perfected the said Work at a vast Charge whereupon Sir Paul Pyndar and William Turnor took a Lease of the said Allome-Works for 12 years paying the yearly Rent of 11000 l. to the King for the sole making and vending of Allome it being the Kings Manufacture by Purchase whereby many hundreds of poor Families were maintained to the great increase of Shipping and Marriners the saving of much Treasure within the Realm and his Majesties Kingdoms served with their own Native Commodity This great Work was so acceptable to the Kingdom that in the Statute against Monopolies 22 Iacobi The Parliament amongst other Grants made this Provisoe following
