May 1683



May 14.	2,076. Petition of Sir John Kirk, Knight, to the King. In 1628 I and my brother captured Quebec, Acadia, and Canada. In 1632 these territories were restored to the French, on condition that they paid to us £5,500, and you gave us letters patent giving us the sole right to trade with Canada. We accordingly sent a ship there, with cargo worth £1,200, which was seized and confiscated by the French, who refuse to restore it. I beg for your intercession with the French King, as our ambassador in Paris has been unable to obtain justice for me. Endorsed. A reference of the petition to Lords of Trade and Plantations. 14 May 1683. Signed, L. Jenkins. 1¼ pp. [Col. Papers, Vol. LXIV., No. 111.]
