To the Rt Honble the Lords Commrs of his Majts Treary.

May it please yor Lordps

In obedience to yor Lordps Order of Reference of 5t May {illeg}|l|ast We have Considered the Petition of \the Widdow of/ Iohn Roos Es late Engra{illeg}|v|er of his Majts seales setting forth that his Bill for the silver & engraving work of {illeg}|p|ublick seales amounting to 78{illeg}|8|li 15s 812d was payd off by order of the Commers of his Majts Treary dated 7th Aug. 171{2}|7| excepting two seals for Ireland valued at 236li. 18s. 10d12 u{p}on a supposition that those two were to be paid for out of the Treasury of that kingdom: and we are humbly of opinion that the said Graver be paid here out of the Exchequer here for the seals in question. For they were ordered & made here, & have formerly been paid for here as appears to us by an Order of the Treasury dated 6 Sept. 1711, & some seals made since for Ireland have already been paid for here, & Gravers may hereafter prove unwilling to make seals here for Ireland if they must be sent thither for their money.

All which is most humbly submitted to yor Lordps great

wisdome
