Dowager Countess of Castlehaven to the Queen,
shewing that Charles II granted to James, late
Earl of Castlehaven, her husband, quit rents in
Ireland to the amount of 500l. per an., but by reason
of the war in Ireland she could not receive her rents
and was plundered by the Raparees there, which
has greatly impoverished her ; therefore praying
that the Revenue Commissioners there may distrain
for said rents. |

Entry of the proceedings of a Council [of Virginia],
held at James City on this day : present : Rt.
Honble. Francis Nicholson, Lieut. Governor, William
Bird, John Lear, Edward Hill, Edmund Jennings,
Christo. Robinson, Henry Whiting and Henry
Hartwell, esqrs.
Major Richard Inglesby, Commander in Chief
of the Province of New York, in a letter to the
Lieut. Gov. [of Virginia], setting forth the miserable
condition of that [New York] Government and
the great danger they were in of losing Albany [if
left] without a supply, and this Government [being]
willing to show their readiness to promote and
defend their Majesties' interest, immediately ordered
Mr. Auditor Bird to pay to the Honble. Step. Van
Cortlandt, one of the Council of that [New York]
Province, 100l. sterling for the assistance of that
Government against their Majesties' enemies : but
for that this county hath been and still is at great
charge in maintaining Rangers at the heads of all
our great rivers to prevent, as much as possible,
this country from the danger of the Indians, who
have several times been doing mischief, Mr. William
Blathwayt is therefore desired, if the Government
of New York use the money, to procure that Mr.
Auditor Bird be re-allowed the same out of their
Majesties' revenue of quit rents due in this Colony
[of Virginia]. |

Lords discharge and remit said baronetcy fee
petitioner may have satisfaction of his debt and
