May it please yoryour LordpsLordships

In Obedience to yoryour LordpsLordships Order of Referece that I should report my opinion upon the Petition for fu of Mr Wm Wood for a Warrant to furnish the Mint with fine copper in barrs duly sized at 1712d prper lwtpound weight after the 30 Tonns agreed for at 18d prper lwtpound weight to be coined, I humbly represent that if Mr Wood will furnish the Mint suchfwith fine such copper, prepared by the battering Mills, (as the specimen was which I had of him,) I am ready to receive a Tonn or two p every Month for s at that price till next Michaelmass or longer if thethere be occasion. But if he intends to prepare it some other way, of wchwhich he has not yet given me a specimen, I desire that a specimen of such work as he intends to furnish me with may be sent into the Mint to be assayed before he begins to bring in a great quantity.

All wchwhich is most humbly submitted to yoryour LordpsLordships great wisdom
