<174r>

The Master of her Majesties Mint at Edinburgh is allowed by a Scotch Act of Parliament after a certain rate by the pound weight for coynage of gold & silver. His place is continued by the Vnion Act & the coynage is appointed to be performed there after the same manner as in her Majestys Mint in the Tower

Quære whether her Majesty may not direct the Master of her Mint at Edinburgh to employ Moneyers under him coyning the moneys in that Mint, & whether she may not also appoint their wages as is done in the Mint in the Tower?
