Response to a petition from Anthony Redhead [former master of the Norwich Mint] against unjust and over-long imprisonment
Contents
As the Mint Board understand it, a confiscation order was served on Redhead at Michaelmas 1699 by [Thomas] Neale [then master of the London Mint] because he owed the Norwich Mint over £3,300. He has been in gaol ever since and appears to be without funds: they recommend he be released subject to approval by the Queen's Counsel.
