<328r>

Novemb 1^st 1700 A pound of old Tinn farthings weighed made in tal{l}|e| 1^s. 6^d

Another pound of farthings {w}|m|ade in tale 1^s 1^d$\frac{3}{4}$

A pound of pewter half pence made in tale 1^s 5^d$\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{1}{16}$

Another pound made 1^s 5^d$\frac{3}{4}$

Another pound of Tin or pewter half pence made 1^s 5$\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{1}{8}$

Several half pence little worn being pickt out {illeg}|(|viz^t 13 in number) about seven of {illeg}|t|hem weighed about 172 gr{illeg}|a|in{illeg}|s| {illeg}|eac|h & the other s|f|ix|v||e| about 160^gr each, so that some of them seem to have been coyned at 17^d$\frac{1}{2}$ to y^e pound weight & others at 18^d to y^e lwt. And one with another they make 17$\frac{1}{2}$ to y^e lwt or thereabouts. Of those w^ch weighed 172^gr, 6 were dated 1692 the other two 1690. The other five w{e}|h|ich were lighter were dated 1690 {illeg}{illeg}|l|es one of them were 1691 & another 1692, for y^e number{e}|s| were blind.

These farthings half pence therefore seem first to have been coyned 18 & afterwards 17 to y^e lw^t Troy, or 22|1| & 21|0| to y^e lw^t Averdupois.
