Notes
Printed in NC, 5: 180-81; see Craig, NATM, 79-81.||The warden insists vendors should 'deliver up their receipts upon payment of what the plate produced & take certificates for the remainder', but the vendors prefer Newton's solution.||[Note on dating: must post-date the Treasury meeting of 27 July 1711, and presumably predates the royal warrant of 30 July (which is what Newton appears to be angling for): see MINT00563 (Mint 19/2/522) and NC, 5: 181, n.1.]
