To the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury

The Petition of W Wood Gentleman

Most humbly sheweth

That upon Advertisement in the Gazet for sending Proposals to serve Copper for the Coinage, He deliver'd in his proposals to serve at the rate of 17d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$ per pound yet another person was permitted to sent to the Tower 30 tons at 18d per pound.

That upon fresh application to the Treasury, a Minute was made the he should serve all the rest of the Copper that should be wanting to compleat the Coinage, after the 30 tons.

That when the 30 tons was sent into the Tower, he put in a Memoriall, humbly praying your Lordships would be pleas'd to give orders pursuant to the Minute.

That Wednesday was fortnight his Memoriall was read, & Minute made that it should be consider'd when Sir Isaac Newton's Report was read which was yesterday. But Mr Kelsey having that Memoriall in his hands did not think fit to lay it before your Lordships.

Your Petitioner therefore humbly prays that your Lordships will be pleas'd to consider his case, & that great charge & trouble he has bin at, & that he may have an Order to serve the Copper that shall be wanting at that rate propos'd, which is almost 5li per ton cheaper than any other & his Copper better

And as in duty bound he shall

ever pray &c
