at great charge during the time he managed the

tons of Cacao nuts from Holland in English
built shipping and navigated by Englishmen

from the places of their growth": all by reason
that the said Commissioners in their report of
June 26 last on Henriques's petition do say they
find on inquiry that the Dutch have by some artifices
imported of late great quantities of Cacao from the
Spanish West Indies into Holland which (with
the scarcity of that commodity in Jamaica and the
difficulty of having it from the Spaniards as formerly)
hath made it very dear here in England. |

sued a statute against his lands and had an assignment thereof by the Commissioners of Bankrupt,
but to defeat them Arnold has pretended to have
in his hands 150l. of Sir Samuell Barnardiston,
and has procured himself to be bound to the King
for said debt and on said bond an extent has gone
out against his estate, which has hindered petitioner's
recovery: therefore praying that the matter may
be strictly examined. |

Report to the Treasury Lords from William Blathwayt
on the petition of Richard Frith, referred ut supra,
p. 1981, petitioner praying a grant of Crabb Island
lying in 17½ degrees north latitude in the West
Indies. Hereon Blathwayt reports that Sir Nathaniel
Johnson, Governor in Chief of the Leeward Islands,
has by letter of Feb. 20 last represented to the
Committee for Trade and Plantations the conveniency or otherwise that may attend the settlement
of Crabb Island and desiring the directions of the
said Committee thereon. Thereupon they have
declared their opinion that the settlement of this
island may be fit to be encouraged provided it
be without charge to the King. Sir Nathaniell
Johnson will receive orders therein by the next
ship. I further think that in case of such a settlement it will be necessary for the King to appoint
a Governor and that the government thereof be
made subject and accomptable to that of the rest
of the Leeward Islands, from whence this island
may receive all necessary assistance upon any
attempt or invasion of the Spaniards of St. John
de Porto Rico, who by reason of their neighbourhood
and pretensions will certainly use all possible means
to hinder any foreigners from settling this island. |

reference thereon. |
