The account concludes with a long memorandum by the Auditor detailing the prize ships of which the value has not been fully accounted for, as appears
by a return made by the late Principal Commissioners of Prizes and by a certificate of the Comptroller of Accounts of the Prizes: viz. |
|
To be accounted for by: |
|
Arnold Brown, first Agent at Port Royal in Jamaica, and the abovesaid Alexander Hamilton (Bonadventure; Acquillon; St. Peter; L'Hereux; Superbe; Pontchartrain; L'Hardy; Royal Angelica; Folly; Mathew). |
|
the said Alexande, Hamilton (May Flower; Nostra Seigniora de Caridad; Nostra Seignioria de Rosario; La Brave; Jesus Maria Joseph). |
|
Thomas Wood and Joseph Gyde at Jamaica (St. Hubert; Dragon; Chartreuse; Elgavillion; Ruyter galley; Cousin Mary; Le Brave). |
|
Not accounted for, as being re-taken or lost at sea: |
|
St. Nicholas of Bulloign, sunk at sea. |
|
Susan and Mary: re-taken by the French. |
|
Bon Heur or Good Fortune: lost at sea. |
|
Mariana: stranded on the Coast of Ireland. |
|
Mary and Hope: cast away in coming home. |
|
Thetis man of war; sunk at sea. |
|
The prize John de Grace, taken by the Newcastle, Capt. Vincent Cutter, in 1708, was disposed of at Barcelona by the Earl of Peterborough's order for the service of the Army in Spain. No account has been rendered of the 1,067l. 0s. 10d. proceeds thereof. |
|
Powder and bombs out of a satee taken by the Newport and Tartar were delivered at Niza for the use of the Duke of Savoy: value 1,650l. [not accounted for]. |
|
Artillery and stores out of a Genoese prize taken by the Lyme, Capt. Doleman, were delivered by the Earl of Peterborough's order to Capt. Scott, Governor of Denia Castle: value 2,060l. |
|
The St. Simon taken by the Antelope, Capt. Cavendish, carried into Porta Spezia and delivered to Consul Crow. The 57l. 11s. 0d., being captors' moiety, hath not been paid by reason that the Antelope had taken a little time before a prize of very great value called La Mantenon of St. Malo and carried her into Genoa, which the captors disposed of themselves without the privity of Consul Kirke, the Prizes Agent, though they afterwards paid into his hands 1,982l. 8s. 8d., which they called the Queen's moiety, but went away without rendering any account of her real gross produce. |
|
The Vigilant of Rochelle taken by the Colchester, Capt. Redman: the captors' shares have not been paid for a similar reason, they with the Experiment, Capt. Hercules Mitchell, having taken the prize Impudent, which produced 2,150l., but of which the Crown has only received 8s. 0¾d. |
|
The Vierge or Windsor's Prize and the St. John Baptist of Audierne: the captors' shares have not been paid for a similar reason, they having been taken by the said Capt. Hercules Mitchell and not paid for. |
|
The value of the following ships remains in the hands of the captors according to the original Register at Nevis and so certified 12 March 1706–7: |
|
Snow of Fortune, taken by the Sheerness, Capt. Thos. Mitchell. |
|
Sampson ketch of Guardalupa, taken by ditto. |
|
Valent sloop, taken by ditto. |
|
La Varenne, taken by the Lynn, Capt. Geo. Martin. |
|
L'Affadene, taken by ditto. |
|
Le Experience, a brigantine, taken by the Suffolk, Capt. Wm. Wakelin. |

|
Capt. Hammond of the Antelope hospital ship took a small open boat with provisions, which by Sir Cloudesley Shovell's order was delivered to the said ship's company. The provisions have not been paid for. The ship was ransomed for 200 dollars, but the hostage made his escape from Hammond. |
|
Sir Neville Granville, deceased, late Governor of Barbados, is accountable for 431l. 19s. 3d. for money received by him from Robert Gibbs, late Agent there, for the Lord High Admiral's Tenths of the prizes Amason, Jermaine and La Marie. |
