Sent with passengers and a last of powder, the King's gift, about ten weeks ago, but broke her masts by foul weather and is now at Dover ready to sail, but stayed by command [for transportation of the soldiers]. [Endorsement by Nicholas.]
Jan. 10. James City.	34. Gov. Sir Francis Wyatt and Council of Virginia to the Earl of Southampton and Council and Company of Virginia. Edmund Tuchin, who had a commission to make a voyage thither in the Due Return, instituted, before his decease, his brother Simon master. Upon information that he was strongly affected to popery and banished out of Ireland, they conceived him, after examination, to be dangerous to the colony, in case he should become a pilot to the foreign enemy. Have therefore sent him home for their graver judgments. [In May 1625 Simon Tuchin was examined by the clerks of the Privy Council who reported that he was not free from suspicion of having intended to put himself or his ship into the hands of the Spaniards in the West Indies; and on 4th June following he petitions the Privy Council for release from imprisonment, and declares that he did not take soundings of the rivers and harbours of Virginia as asserted by the Virginia Company.
