February 1631

Feb. 4.
Bristol.		 4. Certificate of J. Tomlinson, Mayor, and two Aldermen of Bristol. That the bearer, Patrick Haye, of Steynton, co. Pembroke, has delivered here at the quay, out of the "James," of Milford, 300 bushels of oats, 60 of wheat, and 60 of barley, all Winchester measure, all which were here sold for the use of the inhabitants. [1 p.]
Feb. 20.
Jersey.		 5. Sir Philip Carteret to Edward Nicholas. Concerning the payment of the remaining 400l. for the fortifications at Jersey. [Damaged. 1 p.]
[Feb. 25.] 6. Admiralty jurisdiction. The effect of the Judges' prohibitions for freight, wages, and building of ships. It is desired that the Judges of the King's Bench would forbear to prohibit the [Lord High] Admiral to proceed, for the reasons herein stated:— 1. In matters of mariner's wages, or freight or hire of ships. 2. For matters of building, repairing, or victualing of ships. Upon the like request in 1575 the then Judges did yield that the Admiral was properly to take cognizance of such business, as appears by the records of the Admiralty. In 19 Elizabeth, the Queen, upon some such interruption given to the justice of the Admiralty by prohibitions, granted a special commission to the then Judge of the Admiralty to hear and determine causes of that nature, expressly forbidding the Judges of the King's Bench, or other her Justices, to give any interruption therein, which commission was quietly executed for many years. If any doubt be expressed as to the truth of the reasons above said, it is desired that the Lords would inform themselves by inquiry from the subject who by lamentable experience is very sensible thereof, namely, the Trinity House and the Corporation of Shipwrights. [4 pp.]
