Notes

Printed in NC, 4: 494.||[Note on dating: NC gives 5 June 1707, which it says is the date of the copy in the Royal Mint Record Books Mint 1/8, p. 144, but there is no such copy. There is, however, a similar but considerably longer request from the Mint Board to the Treasury, also mentioning trial pieces and details of the Edinburgh master's indenture, in Mint 1/8, p. 143, dated 2 June 1707.]
