To the RtRight HonbleHonourable the Lords CommrsCommissioners of his MatiesMajesties Treasury.

May it please yoryour LordpsLordships

In obedience to yoryour LordpsLordships Order signified to me by Mr Scrope in his Letter of 10 Apr. instant, concerning the trial of the Pix of copper moneys coyned by Mr Wood at Bristoll, I humbly represent that the moneys there reserved for a trial are kept lockt up in a box under the keys of Mr Wood & the Comptroller of that Coynage, or of their Deputies. And that in my most humble opinion the triall thereof may be more authentick & satisfactory & something cheaper if the Box before opening be brought up to London, & the moneys be tried in his MajtiesMajesties Mint in the Tower before the Officers of the said Mint & before the two parties Mr Wood & the Comptroller of that coynage who are both in town & their Deputies & one or two Gentlemen of Ireland ofwhom yoryour LordpsLordships may think fit to give them leave to be present if desired, & before such person or persons as your LorpdpsLordships or his MajtiesMajesties Privy Council shal appoint to see see the trial performed & report the event to yoryour LordpsLordships. And at that same time any other parcel or parcels of copper moneys old or new may be tried there before the same persons & the weight & value ascertained & compared with the value of the copper moneys now coyned at BistolBristol & the trial reported to your LordpsLordships.

But if your LordpsLordships had rather that the copper Pix be tried at Bristoll, I will look out for a man to do it & treat with him & see him instructed & furnished with necessaries with all convenient speed.

All which is most humbly submitted to your LordpsLordships great Wisdome

Mint Office. Apr. 13. 1724.
