The Earl of Warwicke reported a Paper from the
Committee of the Admiralty and Cinque Ports; which
was read, as follows:
Capt. Long to have 40l. in Consideration of a Wound received at Sea.
"Die Jovis, 5 die Martii, 1645.
"At the Committee of Lords and Commons for
the Admiralty and Cinque Ports.
"Upon Consideration of the Petition of Jone Long,
Wife to Robert Long, late Master of His Majesty's
Ship The Providence, and of a Certificate from the
Commissioners of the Navy, whereby it appears that
the said Rob't Long did, at the Taking of One of the
King's Men of War by the said Ship The Providence,
in her late Service at Sea, receive a dangerous Wound,
which is likely to turn to Lameness, if not to Loss of
Life: This Committee conceives, that it may be a
great Encouragement to Fidelity and Action, to give
a considerable Reward to the said Rob't Long; and
do recommend it to both Houses of Parliament, that
Forty Pounds may be allowed him, for his Curing
and Relief, to be paid in such a Way as the Parliament in their (fn. *) Wisdom shall think fit."
Ordered, That this be recommended to the House
of Commons, that he may have the Forty Pounds paid.
Petit and Rednes.
Ordered, That the Cause between Petitt and Rednes,
&c. shall be heard, at this Bar, on the 24th of this
Month.
Instructions for the Fleet to be published.
Ordered, That the Instructions for setting out Ships
as Men of War shall be printed, and published by a
Trumpeter; and Copies thereof be delivered to the
Ambassadors and Ministers of Foreign States residing
here, by the Committee for the Admiralty; and that
Copies thereof be sent to the several Agents for the
Parliament with Foreign States.
The Speaker acquainted the House with a Letter
from the Earl of Rutland:
Letter from the E. of Rutland; with an Account of the Manner of the Army being drawn up before Newark.
"My Lords,
"Yesterday the whole Army on this Side Trent drew
to their Quarters; the furthest Foot Quarters about
a Mile from Newark from Trent, at Farnton; so to
Houghton and Balderton, and to Trent at Winthorpe,
besides the Horse Guards. The Enemy, about Three
Hundred Horse and Foot, faced us; but advanced not
from under Favour of their Ordnance. The Scotts
Army drew up on the North Side Trent. The Soldiers are full of Courage, and very few sick. God
willing, I shall omit no Time; and hope to give your
Lordships a good Account of that Place. But the
Public Service and your Trust reposed necessitates me
to beseech your Lordships, that the Eastern Association and York may with all Speed send Money to pay
their Forces.
"Your Lordships
"Most humble Servant,
Lyncolne, 3 Martii, 1645.
"J. Rutland.
"For the Right (fn. †) Honourable the House
of Peers."
Eastern associated Counties, &c. to pay their Forces there.
Ordered, That this Letter be communicated to the
House of Commons; and desire that the Committee of
the Associations may take Order for the paying of the
Soldiers mentioned in the Letter.
