[The Treasury Lords] to the Duke of Albemarle [at
Jamaica]. We have acquainted the King with
your letters of Feb. 11 last. He approves your
action in taking bond of each shipmaster that
had imported any money from the wreck. But in
regard that we find by your letter and the minutes
of Council that Col. Molesworth and the Council of
Jamaica had required the payment of only one
tenth [of the amount recovered from the wreck]
for the King's share the King is pleased to satisfy
himself therewith in pursuance of the Proclamation
and Declaration in Council issued before your
arrival in those parts. On payment of said tenth
the abovesaid bonds are to be discharged. As you
advise that the demand of a moiety for the King
has discouraged sloopmen from seeking after new
wrecks, the King is pleased to accept of only a
tenth from all new wrecks, treasure or riches whatsoever
that shall be taken out of the sea from any
wreck hereafter discovered in America. |
