Charles Thomas, [Receiver of the Casual Revenue in Barbados]
to the Treasury Lords dated from Barbados. On the 18th
May last I writ your Lordships at large and therein gave
you an account how I was disappointed in not sending an
account of all the prizes and forfeitures that has happened since
my being casual Receiver. James Hanney Esq. who is Provost
Marshal and sells all goods that are seized and [all] prize good[s]
after condemnation, though [I] endeavoured all I could to get his
accounts from him I could not do it. I complained to his Excellency
my Lord Grey about it and he bid me speak to him, [the] said Hannay
and tell him forthwith to do it; which I did: and a month after
I went to his Excellency and told him Mr. Hannay had not yet
brought the accounts: upon which his Lordship sent a letter to
him to command him to do it. Though this was done I could not
get the accounts done till this day; so that I am not able to send
you an account of each account by this conveyance. My Lord
Grey has copies of them but I believe does not carry them with him;
but his attornies will send them by the first opportunity, which
I shall also do the same and send them to your Lordships and all
other accounts which I have transacted for his Majesty's interest. |
|
Enclosed goes a letter [as below] to your Lordships to justify
what I write, to be true: so [I] begg of your Lordships that you
would not be displeased with me for [I] have endeavoured all that
lay in my power: they might have been sent eight months ago and
when your Lordships see the accounts which [I] hope will not be
long, it will be very satisfactory to you. |
|
Enclosing (a) R[alph] Lord Grey to [the Treasury Lords] dated
Barbados 19 Nov. 1702. Mr. Charles Thomas, his Majesty's Casual
[Revenue] Receiver desired of me to write to your Lordships concerning the making up the accompts of all the prizes and goods forfeited.
I asked the said Thomas "for to make up them accounts" about
eight months ago, which he appeared very ready to do and some
time after he came and acquainted me that he could not get James
Hannay Esq. his accompts (who is Provost Marshal) for the sale of
the goods and other people's accounts that had charges to charge.
Upon which I sent him to the said Hannay to tell him he must
make up the accounts with him and afterwards I writ to him and
could not get the accounts adjusted till this day: but always found
the said Thomas to be very ready and not his fault they were not
made up sooner. Out Letters (Plantations Auditor) II, pp. 57–8. |
