May 30.	1,297. Order of the King. Referring the petition of Richard Haynes and others to Lords of Trade and Plantations for report.
	Petition of Richard Haynes, and others, residing in or near London. Some of us have for some time past maintained a trade to Pennsylvania with very good success, and have lately agreed to raise a large capital sum for augmenting and promoting a general trade. This end would be much forwarded if our public stock and estates, employed in the said trade, were secured from private debts and encumbrances and the lasting enjoyment of the same assured to us. We are advised that this cannot be unless we are incorporated, wherein we are by no means desirous of excluding others from trading to the same place. We beg you therefore to grant us a charter under the name of the Pennsylvania Company. [Board of Trade, Trade Papers, 13. pp. 86–88.]
