	1,230 I. Commissioners of Customs to Lords of the Treasury, 13 Nov., 1690.

	1,233. I. Sir John Werden to William Blathwayt. The proportion of men from London is 1,599, from the outports 801. Possibly some ships cleared from London may have more men aboard than are allowed.

Signed, J. Sotherne. 1 p. [Colonial Papers, Vol. LXVI., No. 37.]
