Statement by Lord Ashley that in the account of William Leman,
surviving treasurer at war, he conceives that reasonable charges
for portage and transporting money by sea and land ought to be

but that the 81l. 15s. 10d. for repairs of houses is to be disallowed,
being not at all justified by the Act. [S.P. Supplementary 134,

William, Lord Widdrington, to John Disney. I have received
your letter and your brother is now with me. For the present
the only answer I can give is that a bill for the sale of Eavedon
[Evedon, Lincs.] is already passed the House of Lords and I hope
it will speedily have the King's assent. If you will be a purchaser
or help me to one, you may be your own paymaster, but it is so
good land that I do not doubt of a chapman and the first moneys
received shall be paid you. Within the fold are some notes by
Disney about his liability and that of William Harvey as receivers
of rents of sequestrated estates in Lincolnshire. [S.P. Supplementary 134, No. 45.] |

Mr. Hubbard's case concerning the Mary and Anne. On a
proclamation of peace between the Kings of England and Spain
she was freighted and sent on a voyage to Norway, but on
27 June after the King's arrival was surprised by a Spanish
commission and carried into Ostend, where she and her lading were
sold two days after and made her voyage to Norway on the
Ostenders' account, the master remaining imprisoned there for
three weeks. The Prince de Ligne visiting his Majesty, hired her to
transport his goods to England. On her arrival in the Thames
a seizure was made and a decree passed in the Court of Admiralty
as the owners' legal property. The Navy Commissioners by the
Duke of York's order required her from the owners as on hire
and freight for the said prince's service on his return to Ostend,
where, notwithstanding his Highness' letter for restitution, she has
been detained above twenty months. The value of the ship, goods
and victuals amounts to 1.070l. [Ibid. No. 25.] |
