May it please yoryour LordpsLordships

We have considered the annexed Memorial & Bill of the Moniers amounting to 8032℔. 13s. 6d and humbly conceive that the 2083℔. demanded for coyning 47566lwt of silver at 10d12 pper lwtpoundweight, and the 733℔ lent to carry on the coynage, should be deducted out of that summ, being allowed in other accompts; and that the 510℔. 9s. 0d demanded for Horses & Carriage, and the 153℔. 8s. 0d for Smiths' Tools should not be allowed. These summs being deducted there remains 4512℔. 16s. 6d due for coyning Tools for erecting the new Mints. This recconing the Moniers give in according to a bargain made between them & the Master & Worker & approved by yoryour LordpsLordships for furnishing the severall new Mints wthwith Tools at certain rates. But notwithstanding this bargain we have prevailed wthwith them to abate 512℔. 16s. 6d besides the carriage of the Tools into the country, and after this abatement their Bill comes to 4000℔. And what is further to be done in this matter we most humbly submit to your Lordships great wisdome.
