Ordered that entry be made in the Black Book of the cables and anchors lent by factors to the Dutch, so that the factors be charged therewith. The Company's Secretary to attend Mr. Sec. Coke to procure a second letter from his Majesty to the King of Bantam in favour of the Company, seeing their resolution was to leave Jacatra and to settle again at Bantam. The last high tide having broken open the gates of the Company's dock at Deptford, Lord Warwick's man desired to know whether they would give order for its repair; to do Lord Warwick a courtesy the dock had been lent for building his ship, but had since been leased to Steevens, so conceived the charge must fall on his Lordship.

382. Joseph Hopkinson to John Banggam at Agra or elsewhere. Wrote briefly from Surat of his return to Mocha. Sends letters, but thinks it not safe to adventure other things; has received goods from Edward Banggam, and will do his best in his behalf. The hats sent are felts, and not worth sending so far, being worm-eaten, and not fit for any man, unless some old baldpated Padre. Will be glad to hear he has received his things out of Goodwin's hands and has put them off at fair prices. On his return from Mocha the President and the rest at Surat were mightily incensed against Banggam and more against Offley, and have sent for Offley and Goodwin, and appointed Banggam and Tottell to remain in Agra; they now conceive a better opinion of Banggam. Goodwin a neglect was being so long in ending his accounts. Kharome has been near, but passed quietly. Six English and four Dutch ships are departed for Persia, four more Dutch were laden last year for Europe, and the English Christopher for Batavia. Came here the llth November

Ellam and Bowen, overlook the letters from the Indies for three years past and extract all complaints certified against any of their servants and not concluded with, and that the Remembrancer do the like for the Court books, which extracts were to be read in Court and then entered in the Black Book, that they might with ease examine the errors of their servants.

Hall returned from sea, entertained Commander for this fleet at the same rate as Capt. Browne, viz., 20 marks per month and 100 nobles for his provision to sea, and admonished not to use any more private trade or wastefully to expend wine and powder in unnecessary drinking of healths, which he promised to observe and desired a letter might be written to the factors not to expect any such compliment from him. Discussion as to whether Capt. Christian ought to have the wages of his servant, Anto de Bengala, considering a will is extant, but nothing concluded. Five pounds bestowed on Mr. Dartnell to satisfy his importunity for more allowance for lighterage, because of the extraordinary haste required for the ships unlading.

Dec. 13.—From their experience of Capt. Bickley's service and the good report of his sufficiency and civil carriage, the Court was desirous to give him entertainment, and Mr. Kerby was entreated to confer with him, who returned this answer, that although God had so blessed his labours that he had sufficient to maintain himself without making any more voyages yet if the Company thought his service might be useful to them he was willing to end his days in their service, by whom he had been thus advanced. The Court highly commended Capt. Bickley for this expression of his love and grateful acknowledgment and entertained him Vice-Admiral at his former allowance of 20 marks per month, and entreated him to go to Blackwall and see if anything be defective in his ship, and to have same amended according to his judgment, and to call on Steevens from time to time to hasten her dispatch. Report of Mr. Governor that upon a letter from Sir Robert Sherley to the. Lords of the Council, himself and some Committees were summoned to attend, but found their Lordships full of other business, but as Mr. Governor was informed the purport of the letter was that the Company might be enjoined either to transport and land him in a certain place in Persia, or give him leave with so many adventurers as might at their own charge set out, to man a small ship to trade for Persia; which latter proposition the Court seemed not unwilling to admit of, seeing their resolution is absolutely to leave the Persia trade and call home their estate, and they would free themselves from the trouble and charge
of his transportation, provided good security be given by himself and his adventurers not to rob in the Red Sea or trade in any other place than Persia; and thereupon ordered their secretary to let Sir Wm. Becher know that when the Lords appoint, Mr. Governor and some of the Committees be ready to give attendance. Letter from the Lord Steward in behalf of his servant Jeffry Crew for payment of 200l. for masts pretended to be sold to the Company, some were rotten and defective, and by whose order they were received was unknown; ordered that the business be determined on Friday next.

Dec. 15.—The reading of the answer to Lady Dale's bill in Chancery which was engrossed and ready to be put in, deferred until the afternoon, when all the defendants were desired to give a meeting, and Mr. Acton, the Company's solicitor, willed to entreat Sir Robert Rich to be in court on Wednesday next to take the oaths of Mr. Governor and said other defendants. A General Court appointed for Tuesday; information that if the calicoes be sold by the candle, the linen drapers will utterly refuse to buy, for they conceive it much to their prejudice to have the prices so generally known, but will take the whole by private contract; ordered that the several prices be set down and a bargain made for the last parcel with the linen drapers. Motion that adventurers might take out small quanties of calicoes upon stock for their private use, utterly denied. Report that the Great James is, in some danger at Erith, for at low water she lays a foot and a half in the ooze; order given for taking out her lumber and ordnance.

Bickley first to be spoken with. Committee to go aboard the Great James on Monday next to break bulk. Concerning the business of the masts, it was clearly proved that Mr. Kirby never made any certain price with Mr. Crewe for them, nor gave order to receive them into the yard; Mr. Crewe desired payment for such as were serviceable and to return the rest; he was much blamed for his untrue information to the Lord Steward, his master, and refusing the Company's price was in the end directed to take them away. Ordered that henceforth no stores whatever be brought into the Company's yards without warrant from the Court or Committees appointed for that service. Representation of Mr. Sambrooke of his extraordinary labour occasioned by the arrival of five ships at once last winter which hath not happened in former years, and his "far greater care to retain all the general books into a method," and request for the same salary allowed to his predecessor; but the Court thought not fit as yet to give the full allowance made to Mr. Lanman, nevertheless as an encouragement conferred on him "by scrutiny 50l. a quarter.

| Dec. 18–22. |
386. Court Minutes of the East India Company. Ordered that Morewood on putting in good security may have the 16 bags of pepper bought of Wollaston before his death. Capt. Weddell presented himself and (after being congratulated upon his safe return) made known that he was informed the Company intended to commence a suit against him for landing his goods in the West Country, and hoped that upon consideration of his former services they would think he deserved better; but Mr. Governor answered that this course was intended against all who had sold or bought goods out of the Company's ship, which were reported to amount to 40 tons of pepper, calicoes, and indigo; that the Company were sorry the business fell on him, but their resolution cannot be altered, but if
he expected favour he should deal truly with the Company and deliver in a note of his own goods and what he knew had been landed by others; for what concerned himself he promised to satisfy the Court, but for other men the purser was best able to give information. Ordered that the balance of a bill of moneys disbursed by Mr. Towerson, of Portsmouth, be paid, and for his many good offices that a piece of plate of the value of 10l. be presented to him. A General Court being warned for tomorrow on occasion of the four last ships arrival from the Indies, propositions for a division were discussed, and it was resolved to confirm their former opinions, viz., to divide three half capitals in pepper, the price for Priaman and Jambi pepper to be 18d. per lb., and for Malabar 20d. per lb., of which 800 or 1,000 bags, it was conceived, would vent in town and the residue be transported, with liberty to take out these divisions between this and March 1st, paying first their money by discount before receiving their warrant. Ordered that no warrants be given to those (1) that are in arrear with their adventures, (2) that are indebted for goods bought on bill, (3) that owe interest on bills due, (4) that took out goods on the last divisions and yet have not brought in the money, until such adventurers have made satisfaction. Resolved that those that had not taken out the eighth and ninth half capitals may take them out in pepper, and those behind for the ninth only may take out on certain conditions. And it was thought that the seventh and eighth divisions in money should be paid at Lady Day and Michaelmas following, "after which no more divisions in money were in a good while to be expected." The Court took knowledge that divers of the generality intended to question the sending of goods back to the Indies; whereto resolved to answer that their proceedings this year were warranted by order of the General Court for prolonging this stock for four years after the eight years at first agreed upon, which four years would be determined about Christmas twelvemonth. Lastly, the business of the Delinquents was to be propounded to the Generality to know whether they would confirm or alter their act in favour of them at the last General Court. |

Gratuity of 10s. to one of the servants of the Persian Ambassador who for some misdemeanour had refused to entertain him in his house.

Chasmore, Mary Burton Alice Molbery, Elisabeth Marvell, Sara Bassett, and Edith Isacke, and 5s. between Joan Allum and Mary Roberts. Motion whether
to have the coral shipped in the George and Eliazabeth assured or not, deferred. |
|
Dec. 19. —General Court. The proceedings of last meeting having been read, a worthy citizen, one of the generality represented his opinion that the best course was not to divide their goods upon stock, but to sell in bank, as the Hollanders did; and recounting the many disasters that had befallen this stock by the loss of six or eight great ships laden, besides others taken by the Hollanders, who by their subtlety in the Amboyna business and otherwise had brought it so to pass that there was no likelihood of such a return next year as this, and by many arguments he advised the speedy lessening of their huge debt to prevent the inconvenience that befel the Muscovy Company, and moved that as the stock grows less the charge may in proportion be diminished, especially in the Indies, adding that though they had subscribed to a stock of 1,600,000l., they had not engaged themselves to a stock of 1,800,000l., and that had the stock been less by one half the gains had been more. Mr. Governor commended him for his good counsel, and replied that formerly when money was from time to time brought in on stock the Company was first at 200,000l. upon interest, much more now must they be when all payments of that nature ceased, and therefore it was no marvel it was grown to what it is, considering the loss of 11 ships by the Hollanders, and in two of them 100,000 ryals of eight, and the loss of the Moon, Lion, Sun, Whale, Unicorn, and Trial, which losses, though very great, do not alone give the blow to the Company, which must sometimes expect to lose as well as get, for whereas formerly they paid 1½d. or 2d. per lb. for pepper, besides that the price was now doubled in the country, they paid near 3d. per lb. for bringing it to the ship's side; they were also forced to send four ships yearly to Surat for security of the Company when fewer would serve, for relading of which home they last year sent out 80,000l. stock, aiming then at the prosecution of the Persian trade, from which being now discouraged by the many Ambassadors bound thither, they are as backward this year as they were forward the last. He then made known that the returns now come home amount by computation to 360,000l., out of which mariners' wages, customs, &c. would come to 60,000l. ; and represented that the Committees had taken into consideration four particulars: (1) How to set the Company out of debt, (2) how to relade home their ships, (3) to prevent bringing the Company to an after debt, and lastly, how to give content to the adventurers; and had agreed that the best course was to deliver three half capitals in pepper to the adventurers, viz., the 10th and 11th upon stock, and a third for ready money to discount at 24 months' time, which with the sale of calicoes, indigo, and cloves was conceived the best course to supply their occasions. The first question then propounded by Mr. Governor was whether to divide upon stock or to sell in bank. Arguments used to enforce the propounded division because by that means a stock may be provided, the Company's debts paid, and a sufficient cavidall sent
out, whereas otherwise if no division be made the commodities will lie dead and lose as much in time as can be lost in price upon division. Being put to the question, it was ordered by erection of hands that the Company should sell upon stock, and not sell in bank. Consideration in the next place what to divide and at what prices and time. Mr. Governor reported the opinion of the Committees upon this question and their resolution thereon, also as to the times of payment of the seventh and eighth divisions (see Court Minutes, Dec. 18, ante, p. 283), all of which was ordered accordingly. The price of pepper for town confirmed as formerly, viz., 1d. more per lb. garbled than ungarbled. The order of the last General Court concerning Delinquents read twice, Mr. Governor demanded whether they would confirm it, and certified that Lady Dale, a delinquent, had commenced suit against the Company about her adventure; the order confirmed with this addition, that whereas the favour is great which is extended to those in arrear, both interest and brokes being remitted, said persons before made capable of the former order should make an acknowledgment under their hands of their thankful acceptation of the Company's favour. Mr. Governor then moved that Delinquents might take out the 10th and 11th half capitals without paying for a half capital in ready money, but the Court saw no reason why they should have a privilege in that kind more than those that have not offended; then resuming the proposition for lessening the Company's charges, Mr. Governor made known that the Committees have sundry times taken this into consideration, and find that their servants at home are not above 30, of which two dismissed and five more should have been discharged at Christmas, but could not be spared till the four ships lately arrived were unladen. That abroad they had given directions for dissolving unnecessary factories and reducing the number of their servants in each factory, adding that though at peace with the Hollanders they were in open hostility with the Portugals, which occasioned a greater charge of shipping than was otherwise needful, for lessening whereof they would be glad if any of the generality could propound any way. Upon which Sir John Wolstenholme replied that it would be very commodious if any man would build sufficient shipping and let them to the Company for freight, for then they would send out quick stock only, which motion was well liked of, but nothing concluded. |

Dec. 20.—Court Minutes. Ordered that adventurers have free liberty to take out their whole proportion of pepper in Priaman and Jambi, and not be tied to take out a proportion in Malabar. Capt. Bickley having requested to be released from this voyage in regard of his wife, who is a sickly old woman, and grieves much at his entertainment, the Court wished him to try and get his wife's consent, and give them his resolution in a fortnight. Information of Humphrey Browne that Abraham Cartwright and himself had bought calicoes amounting to 1,550l., and that he had paid in his own part and 100l. of Mr. Cartwright's, and in regard the Company had both their stocks and their bills, he desired warrant for his pepper, but was answered they could not do it in regard of the ill
precedent, nevertheless willed him to speak to cartwright to pay in the remainder of the money and come to the court on Friday Request of Mr. Denton to receive calicoes bought of Mr. Eaton out of the Custom House refused. Suit of John Pashely, formerly mate in the Charles, to go master in the Hart; he demanded 8l. per month, but was offered 5l. which he held too little, but was 20l. for pilotage of the Great James from the Downs to Erith, and 5l. extraordinary for his attendance aboard the Charles and Hart. Peter Walmsley entertained purser's mate for the Mary Sambrooke ordered to peruse the accounts of Mr. Hutchinson, who came home factor in the Star, and if the 1,300 mamoothes be allowed then to pay him the remainder with interest at 7 per cent.; his gratuity left to further consideration. Ordered that Alice, wifo of Steeven Philips, receive two months' pay of her husband's wages. Gratuity of 20s. from the poor box to Robert Channell for the loss of one of his fingers.

The entertainment of Hackwell to go master in the Hart, on notice of Capt. Bickley's falling off, suspended until he could clear himself of the foul imputation of a barbarous and inhuman cruelty committed by his order on two blacks in the Indies. Ordered that John Powell receive 40l. on account to discharge the men aboard the Charles. John Pashley entertained master of the Hart at 5l. per month. Gratuity of 5s. from the poor's box, to Alice Shorting, a poor widow against this blessed time. Ordered that the coral to come from Italy on the George and Elizabeth be insured for 2,000l.

Bickley, to be delivered to her. Emanuel Altham entertained as corporal at 40s. per month. Gratuity of 10l. to Mr. Hutchinson for his services. Request of Mr. Backhouse concerning the taking out his ninth half capital in pepper. Report of Mr. Governor that yesterday he was sent for to the Lords upon a complaint by the Persian merchant's son that the Company denied him maintenance
and payment of his debts, which he told Lord Conway was most untrue, for they were ready to do anything reasonable, having often sent for him, but he refused to come under pretence that his person would be seized by the Ambassador, which also the Company undertook to secure, having appointed him to go in and out by the back gate, far from sight of the Ambassador or his servants; his Lordship seemed somewhat satisfied, nevertheless desired Mr. Governor to accompany him to the Lord Duke, who being with the King, Lord Conway desired Mr. Governor to trouble himself no further, but appoint three Committees to attend him and Lord Dorset, to whom this business is referred from the King; Committee appointed to wait upon their Lordships. Giles Waterman, who lost all he had in the junk Refuge, taken by the King of Jambi, to be entertained mate if he bring certificate of sufficiency.

387. President Thomas Kerridge to John Banggam at Lahore. Expected to have received bills of exchange for his moneys remaining with Banggam; entreats him to put off remaining goods at such prices as they will yield that they may clear accounts. Having dispatched all business at Court, Banggam is to use expedition to return to Agra. Begs him to send abstract of things sold for his particular account, and prices of things bought for the Company's account. Barber departed four days since for Brodera, leaving certain things to be kept for Banggam; those sent in. the Dolphin by his brother were consigned to Hopkinson. 1½ pp. Mutilated by damp.

388. Richard Wylde to John Banggam at Lahore. Refers to his neglect of advice of his proceedings in the Court of Lahore; experience will in after times show Wylde to be more a friend than haply he now conceives. Had his own brother been in Banggam's place and committed those neglects, Wylde would have been not only more severe by letters, but would have laboured in another degree his reformation. Tottells' bill of exchange was no less inconsiderate than the 400 rupees Banggam requires to be charged to the Company's account. Page accepted the bill with much ado; has
made Benthall return of rupees 900,but has not charged the 400 rupees to account. Hopkinson is returned and will demand reason of such things as Banggam, and Goodwin have of his. 1 p. [O.C. VOL. XI., No. 1247] |

390. Court Minutes of the East India Company. The resolution to proceed against Capt. Weddell confirmed. Complaint of Mr Benson concerning the non-delivery of his warrant for pepper on account of his supposed indebtedness to the Company; the accounts to be carefully examined to see how the interest demanded of him grew due. Motion of Mr. Governor that Committees go aboard the James for her speedy unlading. Gratuity of 20 nobles to James Bramford for being mate aboard the James at Portsmouth till she came to Erith. Henry Wheatley, purser of the James, demanded whether Capt Weddell had brought a note of goods brought home for private trade and by whom conveyed out of the ship since her arrival in the West Country, confessed that he had not perfected same, which protraction gave cause to suspect his honest proceedings. Suit of Robert Young, who came home factor in the James, for part of his wages; his carriage in the Indies had occasioned many complaints, and he now brought home great quantity of goods contrary to his bond; but seemed to make light of the accusation, and being willing that his goods should be brought into the house, desired that the objections should be delivered him in writing, to which he would make particular answer and submit himself to their censure; ordered that the letters be searched out from which the Auditors were to collect the complaints, and that he be paid 100l. on account of wages for his present occasions. Divers Delinquents ready to express their acceptation of the favour granted by the General Court; resolved that a preamble be drawn by the Company's secretary, and to be perused by Mr. Governor before it be offered to Delinquents to subscribe. Information of the great decay of the dock at Deptford, occasioned by the late high tides and careless leaving open the flood gates, and the undermining of the foundation of the dwelling-house; Mr. Steevens refused to continue as tenant unless both were repaired, and forasmuch as Lord Warwick and Sir Ferdinando Gorges, to whom the dock had been lent for building their ship, and who ought to repair, same being ruined through the negligence of their servants, utterly denied to be at any charge therein, a committee is intreated to survey the decays and give orders to Steevens for their repair, and to inquire whether that ship was designed for the Red Sea, as reported. Relation by Mr. Leatt that himself and Mr. Milward had attended Lords Dorset and Conway, who positively ordered the Company to allow the Persian merchant's son 10l. weekly for his diet, and gave them a note of his other demands to consider and report to their Lordships. The Court of opinion that they are exorbitant, and, remembering
that they were made possessors of the merchant's goods by order of a full board, thought fit to acquaint their Lordships of this new order of Lords Dorset and Conway before the Company disbursed any money. Upon this resolution Mr. Governor and a Committee attended Lord Dorset, who prevented Mr. Governor [going to the Council table] by taking first notice that what his Lordship and Lord Conway had done was by virtue of a reference from the King, that the 10l. weekly was to be allowed, not for diet only, but for all manner of charges, which was thought but reasonable, and further that no advance should be made to him beforehand; Mr. Governor answered that he held it but a reasonable competency for his maintenance (though no question it is much more than his father ever spent in Persia) and therefore the Company would readily pay it. His other allowances Lord Dorset seemed to leave wholly to the Company, only his Lordship made two requests in the merchant's sons behalf; that the Company would carefully keep him from any violence offered by the Ambassador or his servants, and that as he was not like to make any profit of merchandise he had brought over to a good value without the Company's help, that they would take order that the moneys coming from the silk he claimed might be bestowed in fine clothes, as he might direct, and not in ryals of 8; to which Mr. Governor answered that the Company could not absolutely undertake his safety and preservation but will endeavour their best to preserve him from danger or violence, having commanded that whenever his occasions invite him to come to Crosby House to let him in at the back gate, so as he shall not need to come into the street or near the house of the Ambassador; that the Company would assist him in buying any commodities he desired at as good rates as for themselves, so as they may be secured and warranted by order from the Board, for by the will of his father the greatest part of the moneys made of his silk were to be transported in ryalls of 8 to Persia, and but a small proportion in cloth, and his Lordship undertook to procure such an order. Mr. Mun moved, that though they had resolved to abandon the Persian trade, it would be good advantage to send 100 or 200 cloths to Gombroon, by this fleet, for last year Armenians came to the waterside in great numbers expecting cloth, and both then and now had brought great quantities of gold to traffic. Persons appointed to weigh and deliver out pepper. Motion whether to continue their old custom of New Year's gifts; some of opinion that it would produce more good to the Company not to give at all this year, others to lessen the number and value of presents, but the question was concluded affirmatively by erection of hands, and a list made. Complaint of Mr. Langton that his warrant for pepper was denied for an alleged debt which he pretended to have paid to the Company. Report of Mr. Deputy of his having attended the Commissioners for the business of Algiers, who pressed the Company to pay in their part, to whom he answered that they were very ready to make payment after the rate of 64,000l. but not 70,000l. Sir John Worsnam declared that perceiving now how the business stood, the Commissioners would return their certificate to the Lords; ordered
that Mr. Cappur look up all papers concerning this business. Information of Samuel Wheeler that the cable and anchor let slip by the Jonas in the Downs, was taken up by the ship Peter and Andrew, Capt. Porter commander, and were to he sold privately; letter to be forthwith sent to John Yonge to demand them; gratuity of 5s. to Wheeler for his pains. 10 pp. [Ct. Min. Bk. IX. 288–297.] |
