The Salary of the Warden of his ties
is only 400℔ per n℔ per n
& his perquisites are only 3℔ 12s per n
coales: all which, Taxes being deducted, is so
small in respect of the Salaries & Perquisites
of the other Officers of the Mint as suffices not
to support the authority of his Office.
For the Salary of the Master & Worker is
500℔ per nth
& the salaries of the other Officers are pro
portional, besides their late additional Salaries
& allowance of Assistants. For their Salaries upon
occasion of the present coynage are at least dou
bled; & those of their Clerks are encreased almost
in the same proportion.
And the Warden is now at much greater
expenses & pains then formerly in going con
stantly to the Mint, overseeing & setting forward
the coynage & pixing the money for ch
has need of a Deputy.
Wherefore I most humbly pray r
to take into r
Orders for the support of the Wardens Office as r
Yo most humble
& most obedient Servant
