[See T. 27/21.151, MINT01046, for the Treasury's referral of this petition to the Mint, 12 March 1713/4, printed in NC, 6: 74-5 (erroneously naming the applicant as William instead of James Bertie). See also Craig, NATM, 97-8: Newton considered 120,000 adequate as the total sum of copper coin in circulation.]
