Great Britain
Stop of the Exchequer
1671 (3 November) memorandum "To make an account of all Orders past to Sr. Thomas Osborne & Sr. Thomas Littleton dureing their joint management of ye Office of Treasurer of ye Navy. Also an Account of payments made to them on any of ye said Orders since your last certificate ending ye 21st of February last. For my Lord Bruckner". Followed by various calculations of sums to be paid including, among others, "Assigne of Edw. Backwell - 104.15.6", "Assignee to Doctor Chamberlaine - 200.0.0", and "To be paid in to the Exchequer 00.4.9". Written in more than one unidentified hand on folded page. This is perhaps an example of rising financial fears that lead to the Stop of the Exchequer in January 1672.
