To the R^t Hon^ble the Lords Comm^rs of his Maj^ts Treary.

May it please yo^r Lord^ps

In obedience to yo^r Lord^ps Order of Reference of 5^t May {illeg}|l|ast We have Considered the Petition of \the Widdow of/ Iohn Roos Es late Engra{illeg}|v|er of his Maj^ts seales setting forth that his Bill for the silver & engraving work of {illeg}|p|ublick seales amounting to 78{illeg}|8|^li 15^s 8 $\frac{1}{2}$ ^d was payd off by order of the Comm^ers of his Maj^ts Treary dated 7^th Aug. 171{2}|7| excepting two seals for Ireland valued at 236^li. 18^s. 10^d $\frac{1}{2}$ u{p}on a supposition that those two were to be paid for out of the Treasury of that kingdom: and we are humbly of opinion that the said Graver be paid here out of the Exchequer here for the seals in question. For they were ordered & made here, & have formerly been paid for here as appears to us by an Order of the Treasury dated 6 Sept. 1711, & some seals made since for Ireland have already been paid for here, & Gravers may hereafter prove unwilling to make seals here for Ireland if they must be sent thither for their money.

All which is most humbly submitted to yo^r Lord^ps great

wisdome
