appears from the earliest extant financial record of that kingdom .

of the Account Rolls and one Treasury Clerk , writer of tho Wolls and Tallies at Dnblin , at 5 d each per diem . The payments for Military Service include the wages , at 4 d a day , of John Chester , Captain of certain Welshmen employed in Keeping tho peace , each of the said Welshmen receiving 2 d a day wages .

The gross Revenue of Ireland , as appears from the second oldest financial record existing , amounted for the year ended Trinity Term 1371 , to £ 3 , 840 12 s 7 Jd . The next Irish Exchequer Roll , in order of date , is the audited account of Sir William Brabazon , Knight , Sub-Treasurer and Receiver-General of the receipts out of the King's lands , _ c , in Ireland , and of

the lands of monasteries and othor religions houses then recently dissolved , and is for the year ended Michaelmas 1546 ( 38 Henry VIII . ) The Receipt side includes tho Accountant ' s Arrears and Balances of his preceding Account , amounting to £ 12 , 051 17 s 4 cl , and Receipts £ 8 , 541 5 s 1 % making together £ 20 , 593 2 s 5 , d . The total payments reached £ 2 , 074 ls 4 d , so that at Michaelmas 1546 , the Accountant was

debited with £ 18 , 519 0 s lOijd . The payments include to John Aylen , Chancellor of Ireland , for yearly salary £ 100 , and for his diet , at the rate of 10 s per day , £ 182 10 s , or together £ 282 10 s ; Chief Justice of the King's Bench , £ 100 ; second ditto , £ 40 13 s 4 d ; Chief Justice of the Common Pleas , £ 40 ; second ditto , £ 20 ; Master of the Rolls , & c , £ 50 ; Treasurer of Ireland , £ 40 ; Clerk of the Conncil ,

The Constable of Dublin Castle received £ 30 for the year , and the soldiers at rates varying between ninepence and eighteenpence per diem .

The above is tho first of a series of accounts rendered in the same form up to the year 1643 , only those for the years 1597 , 1598 , and 1611 being wanting . The earliest bound book , containing an acconnt of Public Receipt and Expenditure for Ireland , is for the year ended 20 th March 1642 ( 17 Charles I . ) Earl of Strafford being the Lord Lieutenant . Tho

Charge side shows a balance from tho previous year of £ 21 , 76018 s 4 d , and Receipts £ 70 , 060 12 s Id , making together £ 91 , 82110 s 5 d . The payments out of this revenue amounted in respect of tho Civil List to £ 10 , 373 ls 2 d , while the balance— £ 81 , 448 9 s 3 d—was applicable to the Military list ; and the Accountant was also charged with the defalcations for cheques , munitions , victuals , imprests , „ c ., to the

extent of £ 21 ,-12 13 s lOd . From the details on the payment side it appears that tho captain of a horse troop received 9 s a day , the lieu - tenant 2 s 8 _ d , the cornet 2 s 3 d , the trumpeter ls , and each horseman Is ; whilo in a company of foot the captain ' s pay was 7 s 6 d a day , tho lieutenant ' s ls 6 d , the ensign ' s ls l _ d , tho " giant drum " 9 d , tho chirurgeon 9 d , and each foot soldier 6 d . The Earl of Strafford

received £ 24 per diem—namely , for entertainment £ 10 , and for 30 waggons , each 9 s 4 d , £ 14 . From a Proclamation issued at Dnblin Castlo on 6 th April 1637 it appears that tho value of tho Irish Harp Shilling , 9 o _ . fine , was fixed at 12 d Irish or 9 d English , and the valuo of tho English shilling at 12 d English and 16 d Irish . Tho preamble to this

proclamation begins : — " Whereas the Records and Accounts of all His Majesty ' s Revenues , certain and casual iu this Kingdom "—that is , Ireland— " and all tho Receipts and Issues of His Majesty ' s moneys , have heretofore usually been reckoned in Irish money or Harpes , which is a fourth part less than sterling English , whereby it hath sometimes happened that His Majesty ' s process to Sheriff having

issued in thafc manner , the Sheriffs in some parts have been observed to levy sterling English money of the subjects instead of Irish , thereby overcharging the subjects a fourth part more than of right they ought to pay ; and the Sheriffs notwithstanding answering into His Majesty's Exchequer but Irish money only , according to the sums contained in the Green Wax Books , " & c , & c .

When James II . was in Ireland in 1689 , endeavouring to maintain his sovereign authority there , he had recourse to a debasement of the coinage , iu order to raise supplies , and copper , or brass and copper mixed , and pewter moneys , equivalent iu weight to silver coins , were legally mado current by proclamation , thoso who refused to take the money being punishable with the utmost rigour of the law , and those

who counterfeited it being declared guilty of high treason . A quantity of this debased coinage of tho nominal value of £ 22 , 489 was found in the Dublin Mint when William III . arrived in that city . A Royal Proclamation was accordingly issued in July 1690 , by which thoso coins were appointed to pass current afc fcho following rates , namely , copper crown pieces and largo copper half-crowns at Id

each , small half-crowns afc three-farthings , largo copper shillings at a halfpenny each , aud small copper shillings , copper sixpences , and pewter half-crowns at one farthing each . The small French threesou-pieces which James II . had made legal tender to the amount of 3 Jd were sold at a halfpenny each .

James II . had also , on his arrival in Ireland , ordered that the English guinea should pass current afc £ 1 4 s each , and tho English shilling at 13 d . When William III . had established his authority over tho island he fixed the ratio of Irish currency to money of account afc 13 d Irish for 12 d English , and so it remained tip to the Consolidation of tho English and Irish Exchequers in 1817 .
