Notes
Complains that whereas formerly he was paid 250 a piece for making puncheons, he now has to receive puncheons from London which have proven broken or faulty. He is repairing or replacing these and hopes that due recompense will be forthcoming.||Printed in NC, 7: 451-2.||[Together with his fellow engraver Joseph Cave, Clark renewed this petition over four years later: PRO, Mint 1/8, p. 164, referred by Treasury to Mint 7 January 1711 [=1712]. On 16 July following, the Mint board finally recommended acceptance: PRO, T1/149, no. 45.]
