To the R^t Hon^ble the Lords Comm^rs of his Ma^ties Treary.

May it please yo^r Lord^ps

In obedience to yo^r Lord^ps Order of Reference (dated 3 Aug, & 12 Sept) upon the annexed Memorials of the General & Master of his Ma^ts Mint at Edinburgh, I humbly represent that by the Coinage Act w^ch passed last Sessions of Parliament, his Ma^ts Signe Manual directed to the General & dated 17 Novem. 1718 is become voyd. And a new one may be {illeg}|p|rocured to the Master for putting in force the Indenture made between the late Queen Ann & the said Master untill a new Indenture shall be made. And that the summe of two thousand & one hundred pounds be imprest upon account to the said Master for the use & service {illeg}|of| that Mint, as is desire{illeg}|d|. Which summ together with the moneys formerly imprest, I conceive sufficient for defraying all the charges of that Mint till Lady day last, & also for keeping four|ive| or six hundred poun{illeg}|d|s in his hands till Lady last for defraying the charges of coinage till more moneys shall be issued unto him.

All w^ch is most humbly submitted to {illeg}|yo|^r Lord^ps great wisdom
