The Case of Norwich Mint

At y^e setting up this Mint, Tho: Neale Esq^r. late Master + Worker of the Mint did appoint M^r. Anthony Redhead a Pewterer to be his Deputy &c.

M^r. Redhead gave then \to/ M^r. Neale a Bond of 2000^l to y^e King for the due ꝑformances of his Office, + for answering such sum̄e or sum̄s of mony as he should recieve by vertue of his Deputacon.

At y^e breaking up of that Mint it appear'd by y^e acc^ts. transmitted to y^e Mint in y^e Tower by y^e proper Officers of Norwich that there remained due to severall Collectors + Rec^rs. of y^e publick Revenue 23095^oz. of Hammer'd Mony w^ch.at 5^s. ꝑ ounce comes to 5772^l: 15^s: 00^d.

M^r. Neale having in vain pressed M^r. Redhead to give him an acc^t. of such a Deficiency was at last order'd by y^e the Lords of the Treary to sue him upon his Bond, which haveing done he soon obtain'd an Extent ag^t. him, Confined his Body to Prison (where he still remaines) + gott a sale of his goods + Chattles amounting to 286: 05: 06:

M^r. Redhead exhibited sometime after an Acc^t. of his transaccons at Norwich Mint, + therein he remaines indebted in y^e sum̄ of 3347: 00: 11: { $\frac{1}{4}$ } if all y^e Atricles inserted in y^e s^d. acc^t. be approved + allowed of.

To discharge himselfe of this sum̄ he alledges that he had now by him three Rec^ts. of M^r. Blofield for 2500^l dated in Aug^t. 1697 w^ch. he p^r.sents will Discharge what remaines due to y^e s^d. M^r. Blofield from that Mint, but as these Notes were given by M^r. Blofield in part of what was then due to him from the Mint, + seeing he has stated w^th. M^r. Redhead severall sum̄s from him, for w^ch. he sign'd y^e Tickett Books as was usuall, it is to be fear'd that those three Notes he has now by him have already been accounted for though not taken up by M^r. Blofield, w^ch. is a fault some other Rec^rs. did Com̄itt as well as he, as has been proved to M^r. Redhead himselfe in another Case, However this remaines still undetermined because M^r. Blofield as yet has made no formall Demand of the Mint, thô his agent has had orders long ago to peticon my Lord High Trear about it.
