Stuart refused to subscribe to this, considering it illegal. Since this date the Company has deprived him of his salary, despite his continuing to work as diligently as ever. At the Company's suggestion, the case was taken to arbitration, and Council found in Stuart's favour, denying the Company's right either to enact any such law or impose any such punishment. His salary is, however, still being withheld, and he looks to the Mint Board for justice.||[The conjectural date 1711 is proposed by Craig in his calendar of the papers (PRO Mint 19/6, no. 97) without any explanation or supporting evidence.

The crown piece should be on a par with an ounce of bullion, and their common value reduced by annual increments until it reaches 5s.

Disputes the coinage figures cited by Pollexfen as evidence that the introduction of paper money has undermined the coinage, and produces his own detailed account of coinage history since 1640, blaming reductions on changes in international relations, especially war. The principal development has been the increase of gold in proportion to silver in the coinage. This has nothing to do with paper money, but is due to the fact that in Japan and China silver is valued twice as highly relative to gold as in Europe, resulting in a steady export of silver to them and import of gold from them. The benefits of this trade outweigh the disadvantage of diminishing silver reserves so long as they are not too seriously depleted. Advises against amalgamating the two East India Companies to prevent rivalry, as this would create too powerful a body: instead they should be allocated distinct areas of operation.||[Accounts and analyses of this and the following entries (to MINT00269) in Westfall, 618-19, and Craig, NATM, 40-43.

Concludes that by comparison with all other countries except Spain, Britain over-values gold relative to silver, resulting in excessive export of silver and a strong incentive to melt down silver coin (since it is worth more as bullion), and hence a shortage of silver coin. Though this could be remedied in the short term by coining from silver plate, of which there is no shortage, this would only encourage the export of such silver. In time, market forces will in any case raise the value of silver relative to gold as it becomes scarcer, but [Newton's report heavily implies] government intervention to reduce the face value of the gold guinea would usefully speed the process up.||This is either a draft or a copy of Newton's holograph original, also dated 21 September 1717, T. 1/208.43, MINT01000.

| 7015 | MINT00387 | Model letter for Allardes to send to Treasurer Godolphin | 1 | 38 | 641 | Before 14 November 1707 | Explains that the use of coal rather than charcoal in Scottish furnaces leads to a fiercer heat and hence a more rapid evaporation of the copper admixture.

Craig's account is a little confusing, however: he states that the practice had earlier been stopped on Newton's orders, giving the reference Newton MSS Mint 19/3/181. That, however, is MINT00366 in this catalogue and has no bearing on this matter at all. No other document issuing such an order has been identified, except insofar as it is implicit in the legislation requiring the Edinburgh Mint to conform to London practice: see MINT00353 (Mint 19/3/18). However, Newton undoubtedly was uncomfortable with the practice and accepted it only reluctantly: see especially MINT00452 and MINT00453 (Mint 19/1/181-2, 188). Craig also states that in this and the following document Newton made 'a stipulation that uniformity should again be attempted as soon as the recoinage was completed' (NATM, 72), which is something of an overstatement: what Newton actually proposed was that the Scots 'be still allowed if her Majty pleases to use their ancient Method [...] untill the present recoinage of the moneys in Scotland shall be finished'.] | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | View Edit Delete | ||||

Admits there are certain irregularities and deficiencies in the coins now being produced but claims that this is inevitable and details the steps being taken to remedy such errors. Considering that he has 'brought the sizing of the gold & silver moneys to a much greater degree of exactness then ever was known before & thereby saved some thousands of pounds to the government', besides introducing a far superior technique of assaying copper, he can hardly be discredited for a few minor errors which in any case do not exceed the permitted remedy.||Rough holograph draft followed by two variant draft paragraphs. | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | View Edit Delete | ||||

| 7456 | MINT00694 | John Williams: 'Considerations Relating to the Advancing the Price of Tinne' | 102 | 38 | 1,405 | 3 September 1705 | Another refutation of the view that increasing the price of tin will bring other countries into the trade to England's disadvantage. This is like saying the Dutch should sell spice cheap 'for feare that wee should plant spice bedds in Englande and spoyle their Trade'. Good tin is extremely difficult to find and exploit so the English mines represent a virtual world monopoly. The demand for tin has always outstripped supply. It is essential to many trades so people will pay whatever they have to for it. The English will not suffer from the price increase as 80 of tin is exported, and the increased revenue will save them from a tax that would otherwise have to be levied to refill the royal coffers. Williams considers tin would have to rise to over 20 a hundredweight to be overpriced. | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | View Edit Delete | ||||

| 7462 | MINT00699 | Incomplete report on foreign tin trade | 104 | 38 | 353 | Before 23 September 1706 | The production of German tin has been much reduced by the conscription of miners for the war. Imports from Asia have also dropped considerably. Strongly advises against raising the price, however, as this will only be an incentive to the Germans and Dutch to revive production. Cites the example of artificially high sugar prices maintained by the English 1695-1703, which moved the Dutch to a massive increase in sugar importation from Surinam at a lower price, and to plant Java with sugar, with such success that they now look set to ruin the English plantations. The [Dutch-controlled] tin mines of Siam and Malacca are larger than the Cornish ones and yield better tin, so it would be unwise to risk a repetition.||[Writer and approximate date deduced from an obvious reference to this report in Newton's letter to Treasurer Godolphin of 23 September 1706 in T. 1/99.97, MINT00949 (NC, 4: 478-80).] | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | View Edit Delete | ||||

Further delays were occasioned by a storm during the voyage, by lack of funds (despite a letter to London on the subject, which went unanswered) and by the discovery that the mine had been sealed up, meaning that workmen had to be taken on to open it. Details of his various expenses. Brandshagen was forced to borrow 66 to keep the expedition going. Finally he was 'hindered to deliver my businesse [ie. his report on the mine, MINT00788 (Mint 19/3/221-6)] to Your Lordships till the 29th of Aprill' [he does not say by what].||[Probably written in protest at the Treasury's refusal to settle his expense claims in full: see MINT00791(b) (Mint 19/3/264-5) and Craig, NATM, 104.] | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | View Edit Delete | ||||

After his smelter James Hamilton brought some samples of ore from the mine to London, Erskine's brother-in-law Haldane informed the Court of the matter. Newton was asked to investigate the mine, but declared himself unqualified, and Justus Brandshagen was appointed instead, with Hamilton as assistant. Details of their remit and terms of payment. Hamilton, 'knowing his own insufficiency', persuaded the Treasury to add his brother Thomas to the team on the same terms as himself. They spent five months on the investigation (September 1716-February 1717), over twice the time necessary, despite express instructions to be quick about it, and then did not submit their report until 29 April. Newton was asked to assess what the team were owed, and on 27 June 1717 delivered a report accordingly [MINT00789 (Mint 19/3/261, 263)] on the basis that their commission had expired on 19 February. They have now received all that was due to them and more, and Newton sees no reason to pay them for wilful delays or for undertaking work they were never appointed to do.||[For dating, see MINT00794.] | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | View Edit Delete | ||||

| 7599 | MINT00813 | Detailed list of grievances against Lord Lucas (Lieutenant of the Tower) and his staff | 1 | 38 | 1,749 | Before 27 July 1697 | Asserts the traditional exemption by royal warrant of the Mint and its personnel from the jurisdiction of the Tower, and complains of the arrest on Mint territory of Mint labourer Philip Atherton by a constable of the Tower. Graphic account of a fight between a Tower guard and the son of a porter of the Mint, which nearly degenerated into a public riot. Lucas demands free access to all Mint properties including the workers' houses, and has twice, without consulting the Mint officers, searched the house of [former assistant engraver] James Roettier on the pretext that the exiled King James was said to have been seen there. The Mint cannot vouch for the security of its equipment and stocks of gold and silver if constables of the Tower are permitted to 'invade' it at will. The Tower guards 'begin to be rather a grievance then security unto us'. A lock on the press-room door was broken open, presumably with the guard's connivance. A drunken officer attempted to force entry into a Mint house and attacked a servant, while a Tower guard stood by. Lucas has authorised his soldiers to fire on Mint personnel if provoked, and forbidden food or drink to be brought into the Tower for Mint workers in the melting house or press-room. The workers have responded by cutting production by a third and are threatening to go on strike. Lucas claims he is acting within his authority, and the Treasury are requested to inspect the statutes and give a clear ruling on the respective rights and privileges of the Tower and the Mint.||Printed in NC, 4: 242-6. | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | View Edit Delete | ||||

The guard's fight with the porter's son arose because the porter's family demanded bribes to open the gate. After hearing of the alleged sighting of King James in Roettier's house, Lucas tried three times to find a Mint officer to consult before searching the house, but without success. All inhabitants of the Tower are obliged to take oaths of loyalty at the Tower's court of record, and though this has hitherto been waived in the case of Mint employees, Lucas is no longer prepared to permit this infringement of the Tower's jurisdiction. Suspects the story of the drunken officer is as untrue as the claim that Lucas authorised his men to fire on Mint workers. He did forbid drink to be brought into the Tower for Mint workers, or food sold by them to the soldiers, following a complaint that the soldiers spent their cash on food and drink from the Mint workers though in debt to their own victuallers. Counters with charges that the Mint workers are habitually drunk and provoke the Tower guards: a sentry was recently almost murdered by a drunken horsekeeper and other Mint personnel.||Extracts printed as a footnote in NC, 4: 245, n.2. | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | View Edit Delete | ||||

| 7621 | MINT00825 | Complaint about encroachments on Mint property | 1 | 38 | 364 | 1717? | During Charles II's reign [regarded as having begun in 1649], the Irish Mint was occupied by the Ordnance, 'we do not know by what authority', and barracks built in the grounds. These were restored to the Mint and used as mill-rooms during the recoinage [1696-8], but then returned again to the Ordnance except for two rooms which are currently used for storing tin. Now the Ordnance want these back as well, which the Mint will be happy to grant 'if his Mty pleases to give order that the Tinn be removed out of the Mint into Warehouses where we may not be answerable for it'. Suspects King William was misinformed about the rights of the Mint if, as the Ordnance claim, he ordered the restoration to them of these barracks. Soldiers should not be allowed to lodge in the Mint precincts as they 'render the custody of the gold & silver unsafe'.||Printed in NC, 4: 393-4; but note the revised dating in NC, 7: 428-9.||[Note on dating: NC, 4, places the letter (without explanation) in late 1702. The reference to 'his Mty' makes this highly improbable, since the monarch then was Anne. The mention of 'K. William' effectively rules out the possibility of the letter's dating from his reign (he would have been referred to as 'his Majesty' or 'the King'). Furthermore, the Mint did not stock tin in any quantity before 1703. The document must, then, date from after George I's accession on 1 August 1714.

Such forfeitures compromise Newton's perceived impartiality in prosecuting, though in fact they rarely cover the cost of collecting them. Clipping has ceased [thanks to the recoinage], and counterfeiters have for the most part been driven out of London, but only so as to become more numerous elsewhere. The reward of 40 recently offered to successful informers [by an act of 3 May 1695] has only served to make their testimony suspect. 'I do not find that the prosecuting of Coyners was imposed upon any of my Predecessors [as warden] (tho some of them have done it).' Newton receives neither reward nor competent assistance for work 'so vexatious & dangerous', and which exposes him 'to the calumnies of as many Coyners & Newgate Sollicitors as I examin or admit to talk with me'. Such prosecutions should be made the province of the King's attorney and the solicitor general.||[NC places the document in the summer of 1696, immediately after the cessation of clipping (hammered coin ceased to be legal tender in May). | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | 7/28/21, 3:51 PM | View Edit Delete | ||||
