To the RtRight HonbleHonourable the Lords CommrsCommissioners of his MajtsMajestys TrearyTreasury.

May it please yoryour LordpsLordships

In obedience to yoryour LordpsLordships Order of Reference of 5t May last We have Considered the Petition of the Widdow of IJohn Roos Esquire late Engraver of his MajtsMajestys seales setting forth that his Bill for the silver & engraving work of publick seales amounting to 788li 15s 812d was payd off by order of the CommersCommissioners of his MajtsMajestys TrearyTreasury dated 7th Aug. 17127 excepting two seals for Ireland valued at 236li. 18s. 10d12 upon 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 yoryour LordpsLordships great wisdome Mint Office 5 Iuly 1720. Wm: Thompson Is. Newton M Bladen Officers of the Mint Report on Roos's Petictionn
