To the Right Hon^ble the Lords Commission^rs

of his Maj^ts Treasury

May it please yo^r Lordshipps

In examining the Annexed Petition we find that y^e three brothers Iohn, Ioseph, and Phillip Roettiers were Gravers to the Mint from y^e year 1661 Att an allowance of 3{illeg}|2||5|^li yearly and in y^e year 1669 by a new Grant were further allowed 450^li yearly out of the Exchequer during their joynt lives as Gravers for y^e Coyn & Medalls and after y^e death of one of them the two survivors were to receive 350^li yearly during their joynt lives & the survivor of these to receive 250^li during his life

About y^e year 1680 Ioseph Roettier went off but the whole payment continued in Consideracon ( {sic}as we suppose that the Petitioner Iames Roettier y^e son of Iohn Roettier (the other Petitioner) supplied the place

Philip Roettier another of y^e Patentees went off in Feb 1684 But Iohn Roettier haveing another son Norbertus the whole allowance of 450^li still continued & has been paid till March 25. 1697 Norbertus went off three years ago And the Petition is for y^e Arrear and continuance of it

This Pension of 450^li ꝑ An was alwayes paid by a speciall warrant from y^e Lord high Treasurer or Lords of y^e Treasury and never came into the Mint Accompt

As to y^e Petitioners wants we believe the Petition may be true and that Iames Roettier is very capable of makeing medals and on that score deserving his Maj^ts favour

All w^ch we humbly submit to yo^r Lord^ps. great wisdom

Is. Newton.
