Warrant by Treasurer Godolphin to the Principal Commissioners

cent. for his loss and disappointment in his bargain for the Beringham
privateer.
Prefixing : report to Treasurer Godolphin from the Prizes Commissioners
on the petition of said Hoe. The Beringham privateer
was exposed by us to public sale at Salters Hall in London on
the 25th May last and sold to the petitioner as the highest bidder
for 305l. At the time of the sale we had no notice that she was
designed for her Majesty's service. But by letter of 27 May, received
the 30th May from Mr. Hook, one of the Commissioners for Prizes at
Plymouth, we were informed that the Commr. of the Queen's Yard at
Plymouth had received order from the Prince [George as Lord
Admiral] to take her into his custody for the Queen's service and that
she had been delivered up accordingly without our order of delivery.
We desired the Admiralty to release the ship so that we might
perform the agreement but by letter of 4 June Josiah Burchett
informed us that the Beringham privateer had been for some time
registered on the list of the Royal Navy by the name of the Fox and
was fitting out at Plymouth for the sea, had officers appointed to
her and could not be parted with and the same day we received a
letter from George Clarke, signifying that the Prince had thought
fit to take her to serve as a man of war and had ordered the Navy
Board and the Board of Ordnance to pay for her. We think
petitioner may deserve an allowance of 30l. (being 10 per cent.) for
his loss and disappointment. Money Book XVIII, pp. 84-5.
