BY THE Lord Lieutenant AND COUNCIL . ESSEX .

WHEREAS in an Act of Parliament , lately passed in this Kingdom , Entituled , An ACT for the Explaining of some Doubts , arising upon an ACT , Entituled , an ACT , for the better Execution of His MAJESTIES Gracious Declaration , for the Settlement of His Kingdom of Ireland , and satisfaction of the several Interests of Adventurers , Souldiers , and other His Subjects there , and for making some alterations of , and additions unto the said ACT , for the more speedy and effectual Settlement of the said Kingdom , There is one Clause contained in these words following .

And for the better carrying on of this present Settlement , by raising such a sum of Money , as may be sufficient to buy off several Estates and Interests , which by virtue of the said former ACT are now in being , and if they should be strictly challenged and demanded , according to the Tenour of the said ACT , would in a great measure delay and hinder the Execution of this present ACT. Be it further enacted by the Authority aforesaid , That one Years Rent of all the Lands in Ireland , which were returned by the Civil Survey , to belong to any Irish Papist , Popish Recusant or Roman-Catholick , according to the Values the same Lands were lett at , in the year One Thousand six Hundred fifty and nine , and of all other the Lands wherein any Adventurer , or Souldier , his Heirs , Executors or Assigns , hath any benefit of Settlement or Confirmation by virtue of this present ACT , ( the Lands Settled by Erasmus Smith , to any pious or charitable use onely excepted ) be forthwith raised and paid unto the Receivers herein after constituted and appointed , by two even and equal Payments , the first payment thereof to begin upon the first day of Febr. which shall be in the Year of our Lord One Thousand six Hundred sixty five . The second payment , to be upon the First day of February , which shall be in the year of our Lord , One Thousand six Hundred sixty six , under the penalty following ( that is to say ) every person lyable to the payment of any part of the said Years Rent , and making default , and failing to pay the same , by the space of Twenty days after any the days and times wherein the same ought to be paid , shall be chargeable and is hereby charged with double the sum , which ought to have been paid as aforesaid , to be levied by process out of His MAJESTIES Court of Exchequer , in like manner as any the Rents whereof the said Earl of Orrery and Lord Massereen were appointed Receivers by the said former ACT , might have been levied , and if need so require , like course is to be taken for the ascertaining of the Value of Lands charged with the said Years Rent , and of returning the same into the Exchequer , to remain and be a charge upon Record , as in and by the said former ACT , in case of the said other Rent therein secured was appointed ; and the said Receivers herein after appointed , are to accompt for and pay unto Arthur Earl of Anglesey , Vice-Treasurer of Ireland , or to the Vice-Treasurer of Ireland for the time being , all and every the sums of Money by them to be received . Nevertheless it is hereby Declared and enacted , that all and every the sums of Money , formerly paid to the Earl of Orrery , and Lord Viscount Massereen , in pursuance of the said former ACT , shall be allowed to the person and persons so paying the same , his and their Heirs , Executors and Assigns , in full discharge , of so much of the Rent payable by this ACT , as the Moneys so as aforesaid paid , do or shall amount unto ; and the two half Years Rent payable to the said Earl of Orrery , and Lord Viscount Massereen , by any Adventurer or Souldier , their Heirs , Executors , or Assigns , by virtue of the said former ACT , shall be and are hereby from henceforth Discharged : and in case the Moneys to be raised , as aforesaid , shall fall short of the sum of Three Hundred Thousand pounds , then it shall and may be lawful to and for the Lord Lieutenant , or other chief Governor and Council there for the time being , to Tax and Assess upon all the Lands in Ireland , so much more Money , as together with what hath been before raised and allowed by virtue of this ACT , shall make up the full and just summ of three hundred Thousand pounds sterl. and to cause the same to be Assessed , distributed , raised and levied by such ways and means as they shall think fit , observing therein all the equality and indifferency that can be .

And whereas since the making of the said ACT His Majesty by Commission under His Great Seal of Ireland , did appoint certain Commissioners for the ascertaining the Years Rent of all Lands , by the said clause lyable to the payment thereof , who have ascertained the said Years Rent , and returned the same into His Majesties Court of Exchequer , by which return it appears , that the whole Moneys raised and to be raised by the said Years Rent , do fall much short of the summ of Three Hundred Thousand pounds in the said ACT mentioned , the said whole returns of all the Lands lyable to the payment of the said Years Rent , amounting but to the summ of One hundred and ninety Thousand , Seven hundred Eighty nine pounds , Eleven shillings Seven pence half penny .

And whereas the Barons of His Majesties Court of Exchequer , have certified unto Us under their Hands , that there have been discharged of the said Years Rent so ascertained and returned by the said Commissioners by Judgements and Orders of the said Court of Exchequer several sums of Money amounting in the whole to the summ of Twelve Thousand One Hundred Seventy one pounds sixteen shillings seven pence . part of the said summ of One hundred and ninety Thousand , seven Hundred Eighty nine pounds , Eleven shillings seven pence half penny , which said sums so discharged have been adjudged by the said Court to have been assessed upon Lands , that by the said ACT are not liable to the payment of the said Years Rent , and the said summ of Twelve Thousand One Hundred Seventy One pounds , sixteen shillings seven pence , being deducted from the said sum of One Hundred and Ninety Thousand , Seven Hundred Eighty Nine pounds , Eleven shillings seven pence half penny , there remains of the said Years Rent but the sum of One Hundred Seventy Eight Thousand , six hundred and seventeen pounds , fifteen shillings and one half penny , which falls short of the said Three Hundred Thousand pounds , the sum of one hundred twenty one thousand three hundred eighty two pounds four shillings and eleven pence half penny .

And whereas his Majesty by his Contract with our very good Lord , Richard Lord Viscount Ranelagh , and his Partners , and His Gracious Letters bearing date the One and twentieth day of September 1671 , hath been Graciously pleased for the ease of his Majesties Subjects in this Kingdom , and out of His Clemency and Favour to them to declare , That they shall be allowed Eight Half-yearly payments , for the paying and answering of the said sum , which the moneys raised by virtue of the said years value , shall be found to fall short of the said three hundred thousand pounds , the First half-years payment thereof , to be made on or before the twenty sixth day of March 1672 : and the last payment thereof , to be on or before the Twenty ninth day of September One thousand six hundred seventy five , and hath commanded us to cause an Assessment thereof to be made , upon all the Lands in this Kingdom , according to the Power and Authority giuen unto us by the said Act. And whereas the late Lord Lieutenant and Council , in pursuance of His Majesties said Gracious Letters by their Order bearing date the 19th day of February 1671 , did order that towards supply of the said deficiency of the said years value , the sum of thirty thousand pounds should be taxed and assessed on all the Lands in this Kingdom , the same to be paid at two several payments , viz. on the 25th of March , and 29th of September 1672 by even and equal portions , and whereas also we the Lord Lieutenant and Council , in further pursuance of His Majesties said Gracious Letters by our Order , bearing date the One and Thirtieth day of January One thousand six hundred seventy two , did Order that towards the further supply of the said Deficiency of the Years value , the sum of thirty thousand pounds , more should be taxed and assessed upon all the Lands in this Kingdom , the same to be paid at two several payments , viz. one moyety thereof on the twenty sixth day of March one thousand six hundred seventy three , and the other moyety thereof on the twenty ninth day of September , one thousand six hundred seventy three , And whereas also we the Lord Lieutenant and Council in further pursuance of His Majesties said Gracious Letters by our Order , bearing date the three and twentieth day of February one thousand six hundred seventy three , did likewise Order that towards the further supply of the said deficiency of the years value the sum of thirty thousand pounds more , should be taxed and assessed upon all the Lands in this Kingdom , the same to be paid at two several payments viz.

And whereas there remains farther to be taxed and assessed for compleating the said three hundred thousand pounds , the sum of thirty one thousand three hundred eighty two pounds , four shillings and eleven pence half penny , We therefore in pursuance of the said clause contained in the aforesaid Act of Parliament , and of the Power and Authority thereby given unto Vs , do think fit , and accordingly do Order , that the said sum of thirty one thousand three hundred eighty two pounds , four shillings and eleven pence half penny be taxed , assessed , distributed , raised and levied upon all the Lands in this Kingdom of Ireland , in and throughout the several Cities , Towns and Counties in this Kingdom , according to the several sums , rates and proportions , and in the manner hereafter expressed ( that is to say ) THe City and County of the City of Dublin , One thousand three hundred and seven pounds , Ten shillings .

And We do farther think fit , and accordingly order , that the several and respective Commissioners hereby appointed for the several and respective Counties and Cities aforesaid , shall within Ten dayes , ( or sooner if it may be ) next ensuing the publication hereof , meet together in the chief Town in each of the said Counties , or some other convenient place , by the said Commissioners , for that purpose to be appointed , which said Commissioners , or any three or more of them , giving convenient notice to the rest , of the time and place of such their meeting , are hereby required and authorized , in order to the effectual and timely putting in execution the contents hereof , to divide and apportion the said summ hereby made payable out of each respective County and City , in as equal and impartial manner as they can , according to the manner and form hereafter expressed .

That the said summ shall be equally assessed upon all the Lands and Houses within the several Towns , Divisions , Baronies , and Parishes within the respective Counties and places aforesaid , according to the summs charged upon the respective Cities and Counties aforesaid , in the most equal and indifferent way , that the said Commissioners , or the greater number of them so assembled , shall agree upon .

And to the end no difference may arise in any case , between Landlord , Tenant , and Occupier , what proportion of the said summe the Landlord or Tenant shall respectively pay , the said Commissioners shall at their general meeting , set down some Rule , and ascertain ( according to equity and good conscience ) what they shall judge equal for the Landlord , and what for the Tenants respectively to bear , and such proportion as shall be the proportion so adjudged to be paid by the Landlord of the said Farmer , Tenant , or Occupier of the said land or house , he the said Farmer , Tenant , or Occupiers of such land or house , shall pay and discharge , and for the same shall be acquitted and discharged of so much of his or their Rent , as the said tax charged on the Landlord shall amount unto , and such payment shall be as effectual to all intents and purposes , as if the same had been actually paid to his Landlord , or to any other person or persons unto whom his rent shall become due and payable .

That if it shall happen , that any of the aforesaid tax be laid on any lands or houses that are wast , and not sufficient to answer the same , or that any summ hereby assessed upon any County , Division , or other place , shall by neglect , mistake , or otherwise , fall short of what was to be thereupon levied in such case , so much thereof as shall fall short by any the occasions aforesaid , shall be re-apploted by the said Commissioners according to the same directions , equally in the County , Barony or place wherein such tailer shall happen as aforesaid , and shall be raised and levied in like manner as aforesaid .

That the several and respective Commissioners hereby appointed in the several and respective Counties and Cities , shall meet together as occasion shall be from time to time ; And that the said Commissioners , or any Three or more of them shall after the publick Reading hereof , chuse and nominate two , or three , or more ( if they shall think fit ) of the honest and able Inhabitants in the several and respective Baronies , Towns and Parishes aforesaid , and them appoint to take a particular Survey or Estimate of each mans Estate , and to return the said Survey or Estimate thereof , under their hands to the said Commissioners , or to such person or persons of them as shall be by the said Commissioners appointed to receive the same . In which survey or estimate , all due respect is to be had , to value and to rate each Town-land , Tate , Ballibo , Quarter , Division or Denomination of Land according to the value , quantity , quality , and goodness of the same .

And in order thereunto , the said Commissioners upon the return of the said Estimate or survey , are to ascertain what each place ( according to the goodness or badness , by a just rule of proportion ) shall pay , taking care that the bad and course land be not charged or burthened with the like summ ; the profitable lands of better value and worth are and ought to bear ; and also to appoint and ascertain each mans share and proportion due according to the said returns , except they shall see cause to alter the said returns , and to amend any mistakes therein which they are authorized to do if they see cause .

We do hereby further order & declare , That the several sums of money so assessed , in the several counties and Cities of this Kingdom shall be received and levyed by , and paid unto such person and persons , and no other , as by his Majesties Commissioners of the Treasury in this Kingdom shall be appointed to levy and receive the same ; And the said Commissioners , or any three or more of them are hereby authorized and directed forthwith to deliver unto such person or persons , as shall by the said Commissioners of the Treasury be appointed , to collect and levy the said money , a particular of what each mans charge in every city , county , or parish shall amount unto , which summs are to be expressed both in figures , and in words at length , together with a Warrant , requiring them forthwith to collect and levy the said several and respective summs to each mans name annexed , and to make payment of the said monies so levied and received to his Majesties said Commissioners of the Treasury of Dublin .

And if any person or persons shall refuse or neglect to pay the several summs of money on him or them taxed as aforesaid , that it shall and may be lawful for the Collector or other person or persons so appointed as aforesaid , to receive the said monies , to collect and levy the summs rated as aforesaid by distress , and in case the owner or owners of such distress shall neglect to pay his or their tax , and to redeem his or their Goods so distrained within seven daies after such distress is taken , during which time the said Collectors are not to remove the said distresse out of the Barony where the same were taken ; then the said collectors are to cause the said Distress or Distresses to be sold publickly in some Market-place , at the best rate they can , causing the summs charged on such persons to be paid thereout , and the overplus ( if any ) to be returned to the owner , and the said collector , or other person or persons , authorized for collecting the same , are hereby impowered to call to his or their assistance , any constables or other person or persons in the due prosecution of the premises , which assistance he or they so called , are not to fail to give at their perils .

And whereas several Lands remain in his Majesties hands as undisposed of , or seized for arrears due to his Majesty , which Lands may be liable to pay a proportion of the aforesaid tax , the said Commissioners are therefore in taxing the said Lands , so in his Majesties hands , to take care that no more be taxed , assessed or levied on them , or any of them , but what the Lands may bear a due regard being had to the quality thereof , and the rents and arrears due to his Majesty out of the said Lands , that so as well the said rents and arrears may be paid , as the summ or sums that shall be so taxed , assessed or levied in pursuance thereof .

And to the end the Commissioners herein named , and all persons imployed by virtue hereof , may duly and impartially demean themselves in the execution of the premises ; No Commissioners herein named shall have any vote in any thing concerning the present charges relating to his own particular Estate .

And to the end no disorder may be amoungst the said Commissioners of the respective places hereby appointed , and that there may be no more meeting or sitting of them for any one county but at one place : It is ordered , that at the dissolving of any such General meeting of the said Commissioners , such certain time and places for the meeting of the said Commissioners , or any of them be appointed , as shall be then agreed on , by them the said Commissioners , and published , by which all persons concerned may know when and where to give their attendance .

And the said Commissioners , or any three or more of them , are to cause the said respective summs within their respective Counties and Divisions to be fairly written and subscribed by them , and to cause one Duplicate thereof to be delivered to the respective Collectors that shall be appointed by his Majesties Commissioners of the Treasury to levy and receive the said Money , and another duplicate thereof , to be returned into his Majesties Court of Exchequer ; and the Clerk to be appointed by the said Commissioners to write the said summs , and to make the said duplicates , shall for his pains therein be allowed two pence in the pound to be paid him by the Collectors that shall be appointed to receive the said monies out of all such summs as shall be collected by them .

And we do further think fit , and accordingly order , That the Books or Schedules of the said Assessment or applotment for the whole summ which shall be charged on each Barony , as the proportion of the said Thirty one thousand four hundred eighty four pounds two shillings and a halfpeny thereout payable , shall be signed by the said Commissioners , or three of them , & delivered to such Collector or Collectors as the sai●●ommisisioners of the Treasury shall appoint as aforesaid , on or before the Tenth day of March next , together with a Warrant under the hands & seales of the said Commissioners , or under the hands & seals of three of them , authorizing and requiring such collector or collectors to collect & levy the one moyety of each particular summ , in such Book or Schedule of Assessment or Applotment , contained at or before the six and twentieth day of March next , and to collect and levy the other moyety on or before the Nine and twentieth day of September next , upon the respective counties , cities , and Towns herein above mentioned .

And we do further think fit and accordingly order , that together with the summs hereby appointed to be assessed , all such summ and summs of money as by the above mentioned respective former Taxes & assessments of thirty thousand pounds have been charged on any Lands that have not been collected , by reason of the Land or Houses whereon the same have been charged being wast , or otherwise shall be Re-assessed upon such county , City , or Town , wherein such summ or summs have been charged & have not been collected , & shall be given in charge in such Book or Schedule of Tax or Assessment to be collected & paid in manner as aforesaid ; And it is lastly declared , That 't is not hereby intended to make void or weaken any Contracts o●●greement that hath b●●n made between any Landlord and Tenant , concerning the payment of Taxes .
