That upon fresh application to the Treasury, a Minute was made the he should serve all the rest of the Copper that should be wanting to compleat the Coinage, after the 30 tons.

That when the 30 tons was sent into the Tower, he put in a Memoriall, humbly praying your Lordships would be pleas'd to give orders pursuant to the Minute.
