<text in Clerical Hand begins>In Obedience to your Lordship's order of reference of the 9th. instant upon the annexed representation of the Gentlemen Owners of Tin Lands in Cornwall to the Lord Warden of the Stannarys, wherein they desire that a convocation or Parliamt. of Tinners may be held before the determination of the present contract, that proper measures may be taken to sett another on foot at such price as that her Majty. may be no Looser thereby and by which such farther quantity of Tin beyond the present Stipulation be taken as may prevent the inconveniencys they now Labour under upon that account.

We humbly represent to your Lordship that we have considered the same, and upon the best computation we can make, We are humbly of opinion that, if Interest of the money advanced upon the Tin be recconed only at 5 per cent, her Majty. may afford to give £3. 10. –. per hundred Stannary Weight the Tinners paying the Coynage duty, and post groats) {sic} or an equivalent, provided that her majty takes no more Tin then the consumption may annually carry off: we {illeg} better {illeg} presentand we {illeg} conceive that there will remain upwards of 2000li yearly by her Maty tto. < insertion from lower down f 480r > tto. and we humbly conceive thatand upon that reckoning upon an Equal recconing the{illeg}re will remain{illeg}ed upwards of £2000 yearly to her majty's. advantage, to be applyed as your Lordship shall think Fitt < text from f 480r resumes > advantage {sic} and the better to make a Iudgment whereof ye {illeg}
—e farther humbly certifie to your Lordship that by the accounts of the sale of Tin it doth appear that in the four last years there has been sold at a medium about 15{illeg}560 Tuns Stannary Weight per annum, which is less then the quantity received annually from both Cornwall and Devonshire by about 850 Tuns per annum, and it may be recconed that near the same Quantity will {illeg} happen be yearly sold during the present Warr, but we may reasonnably h{illeg} that in time of peace a much quantity will go off, which we presumeand that it may amount to Two hundred Tuns per annum, or more.
