Complains he is paid only £60 p.a. as deputy comptroller despite doubling as weigher and teller. The Queen's clerk likewise doubles as clerk of the irons. Requests a pay increase for both, arrears owed to the new clerks, and a regular £10 p.a. for the melter James Shiels, currently employed only on a casual basis.
