  Adverse report on the tender of [John] Drummond to handle tin in Amsterdam [MINT 19/3/566]

<565v>

10 $\frac{3}{4}$ G for 20^s. 1 G = 20 St. 1 st = 16 d^r. 5 G = 9 shillings. 100 G = 9^li sterl. 37 $\frac{1}{27}$ SS = 1^li sterl. 333 $\frac{1}{3}$ SS = 9^li = 80^s = 100G. 1000 SS = 300 G. 10 SS = 3 G. 3. 10 ∷ 10_∟75. 35 $\frac{5}{6}$ ∷ 10 $\frac{1}{2}$ . 35 ∷ 11. 36 $\frac{2}{3}$

we are humbly of opinion that such security as is sufficeint for defraying the price of the Tin & of this ship in case the same should be lost at sea, may be sufficient for raising ready money upon interest. And that if the Petitioner pleases to pay ready money for 400 or 450 Tunns of Tin & export it at his own charge her Majesty should allow him all the advantage of the adventure; & for his further encouragement & in consideration of his paying ready money for so much tin at once, should also abate him 2^s per cwt in the price.
