  Detailed account of how all Brandshagen's legitimate claims were settled and refutation of the others. If he left any debts, his executors must pay them [MINT 19/3/245]

<235r>

To the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of his Majestys Treasury.

May it please your Lordships

In obedience to your Lordships Order of Reference of May 11^th instant upon the Petition of John Walker, I humbly represent that ^Mr Iustus Brandshagen received 60^li before his going down into Scotland to survey Sir John Ereskin's mine & was further paid 129^li for 129 days after the rate of 20^s per diem during his stay in Scotland upon this service, & 25^li in discharge of bills for clearing the Mine of rubbish, fitting up a place for making the assays & some other charges there. And that upon my paying to him the last part of this money he gave me a receipt in full of all accounts. This was Aug. 16 1717. But when he gave in his account to your Lordships which was May 17^th 1717, he recconed 20^sh per diem due to him till Aprill 29^th preceding, on which day he delivered the Report concerning the Mine to your Lordships, which was for 71 days longer then it was allowed to him. For by the Princes Warrant it was due to him only till Febr. 18^th preceding, that being the day on which he & James Hamilton left Edinburgh to {gone} return to London And as for the charge of their journeys forwards & backwards, that was included in the allowance which hath already been made to them as is expresed in your Lordships Warrant to the Earl of Halifax dated 24 Iuly, 1717 for ussing money to discharge their Account. The sixty pounds imprest to Brandshagen & the thirty to Hamilton before they went down to Scotland, included this charge, as may be understood by your Lordships Warrant to the Earl of Halifax dated 5^th Septem. 1716.

The 71^li set down by M^r Brandshagen in the first of the three Articles annexed to M^r Walkers Petition, & the 35^li 10^s set down in the second Article, as due to him were therefore not due to him. The 6^li. 18^s. in the third Articles should be 6^li 8^s. & this summ hath been already pair to him. And I know nothing more due to him from the Crown. Nor have I yet seen his Note to M^r Walker for the ten pounds ten shillings

All which is most humbly submitted to your Lordships great wisdom

Is. Newton
