Report to the Treasury Lords [from William Blathwaite]
on the petition of Capt. Hewetson, ut supra,
p. 1885. The petitioner came on a private account
to the Bermudas in 1689 with his ship Lyon, 48
guns, 150 men ; and understanding from Sir Robert
Robinson, the Governor, that upon the declaration
of war the Leeward Islands were in great danger
from the French, did voluntarily offer his service
for the relief of those Islands, and thereupon secured
a commission from the said Governor empowering
him to assist and defend the Leeward Islands
against the French ; where being arrived he did
by order of Col. Codrington, the Governor there,
attack and possess himself of the island of Marygallanta
[Mariagalante] and relieved Sir Timothy
Thornhill and the Forces under his command,
which were then in great distress, [Hewetson]
having also successfully engaged six French men
of war ; all which is acknowledged by Col. Codrington
in a letter to the Committee of Trade and
Plantations, wherein he represents that the petitioner
continued above four months in the said service
to the great advantage of those islands. The
Councils and Assemblies of Nevis and Antigua have
further certified that they owed their safety to the
courage and conduct of this petitioner.
But it nowhere appears by any papers produced
by Capt. Hewetson or otherwise upon what conditions
or expectations he was employed against
the French. His good service as above is therefore
submitted to consideration for some reward. |

of any custodiums granted in cos. Meath and Dublin) :
which sum he was charged in his accounts as Vice
Treasurer of Ireland as received by him out of the

refused by the Commissioners of Accounts (although

being thereby made a debtor in 72l. 3s. 7d. on his
said last account instead of being in surplus

759l. 5s. 0d. the said Earl pay and discharge his
abovesaid debit of 72l. 3s. 7d. remaining on the
foot of his said last account. |
