Treasury warrant to the Principal Commissioners for

103l. 4s. 0d. to the mariners of the ship Sturgeon,

it appearing from the said Commissioners' memorial
of the 12th inst. that said ship was some time since
discharged upon bail of 1,672l. 18s. 8d. given to the
Admiralty Court, and that now by the means of
one Peter Albertson, who was the person that gave
the information and that brought all the mariners
belonging to said ship to be examined as witnesses
for the King (as appears by the certificate of Sir
Thomas Pinfold, their Majesties' Advocate in the
said [Admiralty Prize] Court, together with Samuell
Francklin, esq., their Majesties' Proctor), whereby
the said ship was condemned with her lading ; and
by the said sentence of condemnation the wages
due to the said mariners are all forfeited, but they
being poor aliens and foreigners and having nothing
wherewith to subsist, have prayed payment of
their wages to the above amount, as without their
evidence there would have been little or no proof
to condemn the ship ; and the Prizes Commissioners
think a precedent of such a bounty, if
now made, would much facilitate the condemnation
of ships for the future which for want of sufficient
evidence are more frequently discharged than
condemned, "and being likewise informed that
the like thing [bounty] was frequently practised in
the late wars, which gave great despatch to the
affairs in that Court." |

It has been already agreed that the contract which

provide bread for the Army in Ireland should
have continuance till Jan. 10 next. The King,
considering that the said Army may want provisions
of bread for their subsistence after the
said Jan. 10, unless some care be taken for the
same, has commanded us that either by prolonging
the contract with Pereyra or by giving directions
to Mr. Vanhomrig or some others for provision
of bread for said Army for some further time or
by such other means as you think most fit, you
take effectual care that said Army be supplied
after the said date until further directions be given. |

Treasury warrant to the Customs Commissioners to
restore the ketch Salisbury and her lading to Geo.
Nicholas Page, the owner : it appearing from the
petition from him and Nicholas Lawrence, master
of same, that she came from Boston in New England
to Liverpool in 1690 and re-laded there in September
or October and returned directly to Boston, arriving
in February, 1690-1, but on her arrival was seized
by Jahleel Brenton, who at the Court of Assistants
held at Boston, Mar. 3 last, exhibited an information
that she imported goods of the manufacture of
Europe not bona fide laden in England ; petitioners
pleaded not guilty and produced in proof the cocquets
or certificates signed at Liverpool, yet the Court
gave judgment for the forfeiture under the Act of
15 Car. II [c. 7], but petitioners appealed to the
Court of Admiralty in England : the Customs
Commissioners having also reported Oct. 7 and
Dec. 3 last that it appears by the certificate of the
officers of Liverpool port that said ketch was regularly
cleared and discharged there and that they
cannot see what cause the jury should find upon
that single point, and that Brenton's mistake was
probably due merely to the variations between the
species of goods and the denominations under
which they were expressed in the cocquets "as
that the kerseys and freezes were entered as so
many pound of woollen cloth, silk crapes as so
many pound of silk manufactures." |

Royal warrant to the Attorney or Solicitor General
for a great seal for a grant to Thomas Neale of a
Post [Office] as follows in the West Indies. The
said Neale has lately represented that there never
yet hath been any Post established for the conveying
of letters within or between Virginia, Maryland,
Delaware, New York, New England, East and West
Jersey, Pennsylvania "and northward as far as
our Dominions reach in America" and that the
want thereof has been a great hindrance to the
trade of those parts and has therefore prayed a
patent for his settling such a Post at his own charges.
The Treasury Lords consulted John Wildman,
then Postmaster General, on the said petition,
who reported Jan. 31 last "that if the said Thomas
Neale should think fit to propose a settlement of
a Post Office in every or any of the chief parts in
America, unto which all masters of ships and passengers
might upon their first landing deliver all
the letters that they shall bring ; and that if the
undertakers being authorized by our General Post
Office shall be bound to dispose all such letters
unto all such parts of the said respective Colonies
on rates proportionable to the rates established
by Act of Parliament or at such other rates as the
planters shall freely give for their letters upon the
first settlement of such an Office ; and that if the
undertakers will be also bound to collect letters
as the same shall be sent to such an Office and
send them for England by the first ship that shall
be bound for any port of England to be there
delivered to the next Post Office as the law directs,"
such Office may be of service to trade and correspondence
and the undertaker may be licensed.
Further, the Solicitor General reported thereon
July 14 last that such a grant would be legal and
the initial expense considerable and little prospect
of profit, therefore the grant should not be during
pleasure, but a saving clause of revocation by
Order in Council in case it be found inconvenient
or abused should be inserted.
It is therefore hereby granted that the said
Neale, his executors and assigns may for 21 years
enjoy, within every or any the chief ports of the
several islands, Plantations or Colonies belonging
to their Majesties in America, an Office or Offices
for the receiving and despatching of letters and
pacquets brought from England or any parts
whatsoever with power to receive same from any
masters of ships and to despatch same to the
addressees, taking to his own use such rates for
the postage or conveyance as shall be proportionable
to the rates in the Act of 12 Car. II, c. 35, for
erecting and establishing a Post Office or such other
rates as the planters and others will freely agree to
and with power likewise to collect and receive
letters and pacquets and to despatch same by the
first ship to England to be delivered to the Postmaster
of any port or town in England or to any
of the islands, Colonies or Plantations : the rent
for the present grant to be 6s. 8d. per an. payable
to the King : all other persons to be forbidden to
erect any such Office in any the said islands etc. :
but this not to prevent any merchants, masters or
others from sending by any ships or persons specially
entrusted any letters or pacquets.
On his part Neale is to covenant to collect, deliver
and despatch forthwith and by the first conveniency
of carriage etc. and will keep fair accounts in books
of the profits arising hereby and suffer same to be
inspected from time to time by the appointment
of the Treasury Lords to the end they may have
certain knowledge of the yearly value thereof for
the future : and that such public orders as the
Governors of the respective Plantations etc. shall
give shall be despatched and distributed by the
said offices without any charge : and that no person
shall be capable of any deputation relating to the
exercise of said office or offices until they have
taken the oaths as by 1 Wm. and Mary, c. 8. Finally
this grant is to contain a clause of reassumption
as above and a proviso that it be void if the said
Office be not established within two years : further
with a reservation that the delivery to the Postmasters
of any port etc. in England of such packets
and letters as above shall be without any charge
to the Post Office in England and that the inland
postage [in England] of such letters shall be reserved
to the Crown : and that Neale shall appoint an
officer in London to receive and collect all letters
and pacquets for such Colonies etc. and that all
letters commonly called State letters which are
usually carried postage free here in England shall
pass free through all our Plantations : and that at
the end of the first three years from date hereof Neale
shall transmit to the Treasury a true account of
all the profits hereof and thereafter the like yearly
if thereto required. Finally Neale to have liberty
during the said term to make, use and have ferries
over any river or lake in the said Colonies etc.
(where no ferries are yet made or granted) and
shall receive the profits thereof to his own use ;
provided always that where such ferries are made
over other men's land or water the proprietor's
consent be first gained. |
