Nicholas Spackman, Deputy Auditor, to —. The above
arrears are charged on Col. Alured for 1649, who alleges that, if
he did receive them, he did so as your deputy and so they are
to be accounted for by you. The Auditor desires you to examine
the accounts made to you by Col. Alured for the time he so acted
for you, whether he accounted to you for them or any of them,
and that you would at his house meet Col. Alured next Friday
to clear the receipts in question. The account of Col. Alured
you formerly sent me seems to be made up shortly after the
audit of 1648. in which these arrears or the greatest part of
them do not appear to be charged, but I suppose there might be
some account afterwards. Prefixed, |

Hamlet Borer to the King. Petition stating that in 1638
the Duke d'Espernon seized the Unity of London with her lading
in the passage of Biscay, belonging in the greatest part to James
Pickering of London, fishmonger, whose sole executor the petitioner is, which was adjudged prize by the French, and, restitution
not having been given, letters of marque were granted by the
Usurpers in 1652, which his Majesty considering by his letters
some months ago pressed the French King for a speedy satisfaction for the said unjust seizure, to which the latter only returned
a frivolous and ill-grounded answer, and therefore praying a
reference of the petitioner's cause to the Judge of the Admiralty
Court and such other counsellors of that court as may certify the
true state of his pretensions and what is to be done for his relief.
(Petition referred Jan. 15, 1663–4. See Cal. S.P. Dom., 1663–64,
p. 442.) [Draft in Williamson's hand. S.P. Dom., Car. II. 440,
