<457r>

To the Right Honourable the Lord High Treasurer of great Britain.

May it please your Lordship

In obedience to your Lordships Order of Reference of May the 5^t upon the Memorial of the Right Honourable the Earl of Darby for coyning three or four hundred pounds worth of copper money for the Isle of Mann with the arms of that Island on the Reverse we have considered the same & are humbly of opinion that his Lordship may have the said summ of her Majesties copper money coyned with the proposed Reverse instead of a Britannia for the convenience of that Island, & that the coynage of such money will be cheapest at the next coynage of copper money for England. But if the necessities of that Island require a speedier coynage of such money, the Master & Worker is willing to coin a Tunn or two, cutting a pound weight into one & twenty pence with a remedy of a half penny or payment of extraordinary charges.

All which is most humbly submiteed to your Lordships

great wisdome
