Notes
Printed in NC, 4: 231-2.||[Chaloner had accused the Mint officers of incompetence and forgery, and offered to demonstrate his own methods to pre-empt counterfeiting. The Committee reported in favour of Chaloner's methods on 8 April 1697: report reprinted in Ruding, Annals of the Coinage, 2: 465. For accounts of the affair, see Craig, NATM, 17-19 and Westfall, 571-5.]
