Sir Humphrey Winche, Knt.—Pelham deceased,—Privy Seal, Westminster, 8 Nov. 1606,—patent, 3 Jan. 1607.—Pleasure.—"We have heretofore signified to you, that we have made choice of a meet person to supply the room of our Chief Baron of our Court of Exchequer there, void by the death of Sir Edmund Pelham, who is this bearer, Sir Humphrey Winche, Knt., Sergeant at Law; and now as soon as the settling of his estate here would give him leave, we have sent him thither to attend his charge, and our pleasure is, for his better encouragement, that he shall have all the entertainments which the said Pelham had of fees, diets, or other allowances whatsoever, in as ample a manner as the said Pelham, or any other Chief Baron have had the same, from the day of the death of the said Pelham, to be paid unto him in such manner as Pelham did use to receive the same. And further we are pleased, that he shall have towards the charge of his robes and expenses, and travel thither, the sum of £100 current money of England, to be paid him in money of that country rateably by way of concordatum out of such our treasure as shall grow either of our revenues there, or of monies sent from hence, &c. And further our pleasure is, that the said Humphrey Winche shall be of our Privy Council there, and so we require you to give him the oath accustomed.
