In obedience to yo^r Lord^ps Order of Reference \(dated dated 3 Aug & 12 Sept. 1723)/ upon the annexed Memorials of {illeg}|t|he General & Master of his \Ma^ties/ Mint at Edinburgh, dated 3^d Aug & 12 Sept. 1723, I humbly represent that by the Coynage Act of w^ch passed last Sessions of Parliament his Ma^ts Signe Manual \directed to the General &/ dated 17 Novem. 1718 is \become/ voyd. And a new one may be procured \to the Master Iohn Montgomerie Es/ for putting in force the Indenture made between the late Queen Ann & Iohn Montgomerie Es \the said Master/ untill a new Indenture shall be made. And that the summ of two thousand & one hundred pounds may be imprest \upon account/ to the said Iohn Montgomerie Es \Master/ for the use & service of that Mint & upon account as is desired w^ch summ together w^th the moneys formerly imprest I conceive sufficient for defraying all the charges of that Mint till Lady last, & \also/ for keeping four|ive| or five\six/ hundred pounds in his hands or above for defraying the charge|s| of coynage till more moneys shall be issued unto him. All w^ch is most humbly submitted to your Lord^ps great wisdome
