Appending: (a) letter to the Treasury Lords from Col. B. Fletcher, Governor of New York, dated Fort William Henry in New York 15 Aug. last. Pursuant to your commands I did consider of a method of supplying the Land and Sea Forces in the West Indies and am sorry my endeavours that way are lost. I fear the consequence of the Fleet being at Boston and not proceeding to “Canida” (when heard by our Indians) will be the loss of them. The Governor of Canida doth court them very much. If we lose them Virginia and Maryland must live in garrison or fly the country. I did also appoint a Committee of the Council [here] to consider of the production of hemp, tar, pitch and rosin in this Province. They reported that there is produced here tar at 12s. per barrel containing 31 gallons; flax at 6d. per pound; hemp at 4d. per pound; no rozin made here. The quantities yet small, but the soil agreeable for such improvement. |

On our representation to the Queen of our opinions as to same and otherwise as to said Commission, it is her pleasure that a new Commission be prepared as you advise. Please send the names of the persons most proper to be made Commissioners unless you have any other method more for their Majesties' service. We enclose you the draft [missing] left with us by Sir Richard Cox. Please return same with your observations. As to the applying the moneys arising by the forfeitures to the repairs of fortifications and building of barracks, the Queen is pleased therewith. By her command we enclose Mris.

Royal warrant, under the Queen's sign manual, to the Attorney or Solicitor General for a great seal for a discharge to the East India Company as follows. By the charter of 1661, April 3, for incorporating said Company the trade to the East Indies was restricted to said Company or persons licensed by them under penalty of forfeiture of goods and ship of intruders, one half of such forfeitures to be to the Crown, the other half to the said Company. Further the Company was therein empowered to send ships of war etc. to any their factories, with power to make peace or war with any Prince or people not being Christians. By the charter of 1683, Aug. 9, Charles II granted the Company the right of visiting and seizing ships etc. intruding etc. as above, with reservation to the Crown, as before, of a moiety of the forfeitures thereunder. By a great seal of 1686, April 12, James II ratified said charters. And divers persons having traded contrary to the said charters and to bye-laws founded thereon, have made forfeitures, and fines thereby have accrued both in England and in the East Indies. Further, “we are informed that” by several commissions or reputed commissions James II authorised the following Captains or Commanders to assist the said Company in the making of war against the then Mogul of Hindustan, the Nabob of Decca and the King of Siam or some other Princes or heathen people of the East Indies, viz. Samuell Lake of the Prudent Mary; Antho. Fenn of the Dragon; Joseph Eaton of the New London; Jo[h]n Bromwell of the Rochester; Jo[h]n Nicholson of the Beaufort; John Mayon (Mason) of the Nathaniell; William Wildey of the Modena; Robert Knox of the Tonqueene; Jonathan Andrews of the Charles the Second; John Consett of the Berkley Castle: Edmond Wright of the Cesar; William Pearse of the Bengall Merchant; Richard Warner of the Williamson; James Perryman of the Pearle; Stephen Bradley of the Saphire; Giles Hill of the Ruby; Thomas Harrison of the Emerald; Antho. Weltden of the Curtena; John Cribb of the Bawdon; Edward Keeling of the Worcester; Henry Benson of the Jonas; William Sharpe of the Resolution; James Cooke of the Royal James and Mary; Joseph Haddocke of the Princess of Denmark: William Heath of the Defence; John Gayer of the Josiah; Richard Etherington of the Shrewsbury; John Kempthorne of the Kempthorne; Leonard Browne of the Benjamin; Charles Master of the Diana; William Swanley of the Success; William Halford (Harford) of the Josiah frigate; Benj. Stracey of the Josiah yacht. And by virtue of said commissions certain prizes were made of which a just account ought to have been kept and a tenth part thereof ought to have been paid to the Crown. And in 1690, Easter term, a bill was exhibited in the Exchequer by Sir George Treby, Attorney General, at the relation of Walter Whitfeild, esq., John Earle and Thomas Kilner, gent., against said Company and against Sir Josiah Child and Sir Benj. Bathurst, members thereof, for an account and recovery of said tenth of prizes; to which bill several answers were put in. And in 1692, Michaelmas term, said Court decreed that said Company should pay 7,940l. 1s. 9d. to the Crown for said tenth part of the prize goods imported in the two ships Charles the Second and the New London, and divers other orders have been made concerning the goods and ships taken in said war for which the cause is still depending in said Court. And further in Easter term last a bill was similarly exhibited by Edward Ward, esq., Attorney General, against said Company and against Sir Edward Des Bovery, Sir John Moore, Nath. Tench and John Goodyear to discover forfeitures taken since 1680, July, for interloping. In consideration of the sum of 16,638l. 6s. 11d. paid into the Receipt by said Company before the date hereof and in consideration of the release to the Crown of 1,361l. 13s. 1d. which had been brought into Court, the Crown acquits and exonerates from the abovesaid moiety of forfeitures and tenth of prizes and from said 7,940l. 1s. 9d. the said Company and all the defendants as above and all the ships' commanders as above, and also Bartho. Harris, John Gladman, John Vauxe, Samuell Annesley, Geo. Weldon, Benj. Alleyn, Richard Stanley, James Butler, Samuel Whitcomb, Edward Holt, Adam Smith, Peter Vickerd, Ambrose Moody, Michael Buckley, Serjt. Bradley, Stephen Colt, Jeremy Bonnell, Samuell Childs, Samuell Staines, Francis Houghton, Edwd. Shadwell, William Morrice, Capt. — Johnson, Edwd. Baltamy, John Taylor, Robert Bathurst, Richd. Johnson, Capt. Roger Carr, Capt. Jacob Barber, Capt. Roger Paxton, Thomas Brennocke, Hen. Pensey, Thomas Walthorpe, Thomas Kendall, Abraham Navarro, Elihu Yale, Thomas Wavell, Nath. Higginson, William Stracer, Edwd. Tredcroft, Hen. Mose, Thomas Constable, Thomas Jordan, Job Charnock, Fra. Ellis, Richard Trenchfeild, Jeremiah Peachie, Cha. Eyre, Thomas Ley, Samuell Griffith, John Beard, Jos. Stafford, Capt. Geo. Heron, Capt. John Nicholson and all other captains, commanders, officers and persons who were authorised to assist in making the said war and all the officers, servants and agents of said Company. And the abovesaid decrees of Court are hereby to be evacuated: all notwithstanding the privy seal of 1690–1, Jan. 28, for authorising Walter Whitfeild, Jo[h]n Earl and Thomas Killner to demand and receive an account of the premises. |

Royal warrant, under the Queen's sign manual, to the Lords Justices, Ireland, for a patent to pass the great seal of Ireland for granting to Francis, Archbishop of Dublin, and his successors in said bishopric for ever, the premises as follows under the quit rent of 9l. 2s. 2½d.: to date from the date of the custodiam as follows and to be to complete the augmentation intended by the Acts as follows for the said bishopric. All by reason that Francis. Archbishop of Dublin, has petitioned shewing that by the Acts of Settlement and Explanation so much of the forfeited lands as were anciently the inheritance of the See of Dublin but were granted in fee farm by the Archbishops thereof to the then forfeiting persons were appointed to be set out in augmentation to said See to the amount of 2,000l. per an. pursuant whereto the Commissioners for Executing said Acts did set out several lands. part whereof (viz. the lands of Sea Town, New Town, Blackhall, Gamwell, Smith's lands and several others in and about the town of Swords to the amount of 437 acres in the barony of Nethercross, co. Dublin, being the former property of Christopher Russell, whose son Bartholomew Russell, being declared innocent by said Commissioners, was left to recover his right by law in remainder after his father's death), were not passed in the patent with the other lands, but were by order of the said Commissioners granted to the then Archbishop in custodiam at 15l. per an. rent until said Bartholomew Russell's pretence should be determined: and though said Christopher Russell died in 1682, yet Bartholomew never brought his pretence to trial till 1688, when the Earl of Tyrconnell was Chief Governor of Ireland and Popish Judges sat on the Bench, who gave judgment in his favour, though John Osborne, then Prime Serjeant, and Sir John Temple, Solicitor General, gave opinions adverse to his claim: whereby said Russell obtained possession and so remained till the reduction of Ireland to William III, when he was in actual rebellion against said King, for which he stands outlawed, and did die in actual rebellion: whereupon the premises were seized by the Revenue Commissioners, Ireland: and the Archbishop, petitioner herein, applied to the late Lord Lieutenant and Council for a grant thereof in accordance with the intentions of said Acts, and did by judgment of the Exchequer Court, Ireland, obtain a custodiam thereof from Sept. 29 last [1692] at the improved rent (100l. per an.) they are now let at, pending further royal pleasure: wherefore said Archbishop did petition for a grant of the premises at 15l. per an. rent. Which petition being referred to Sir Richard Levings, Solicitor General of Ireland, confirming and amplifying the facts as above and stating that the said See of Dublin remains 285l. per an. short of the 20,000l. augmentation designed as above; that the custodiam was granted to said See in Hilary term, 1664, and remained in it till 1686. May 4: that Bartholomew Russell filed his plea in the Exchequer in 1682, setting forth that Bartholomew his grandfather. on the marriage of Cisley Meara with Christopher his son, settled part thereof on them; that said grandfather died in 1646, Cisley in 1660, and Christopher in 1682: to which plea Sir William Domvile, then Attorney General of Ireland, made a special replication that said Christopher was outlawed on account of the rebellion in 1641: which record depended before the Court till 4 May, 1686, when judgment was given as above, which judgment said Levings herein thinks was unwarranted, and that in view of said present Bartholomew's treason a grant of the premises may be made as hereinabove at 9l. 2s. 2½d. per an. rent, being the quit rent payable thereout by adventurers and soldiers for lands in that province. |
