368. Governor Johnson to [? Mr. Delafaye]. Proposes that Capt. Sutherland (v. supra) be allowed 5s. a day out of the quit-rents as pay, since it would be greatly for H.M. service that his command should be independent of the Assembly. There
has been hitherto no establishment of pay to the Commander of Fort Johnson "but what the Assemble gives which is but £30 a year, and makes the commander in a great measure dependant on them as happen'd to Capt. Sutherland was removed and a friend of theirs in his place. And it has happened in New England that when the Assemble have not been obliged in their recommendations of that kind, they would allow no pay at all to the person appointed by the Governor. And the like may happen to Capt. Sutherland" etc. Signed, Robt. Johnson. 1 p. [C.O. 5, 388. f. 28.] |

385. Council of Trade and Plantations to the Lords Commissioners of H.M. Treasury. The business of this Office having been very much encreas'd of late by the frequent demands that have been made in Parliament for papers relating to the Trade and Plantations of Great Britain, and it being still likely to be further augmented by the correspondence wch. we are directed by H.M. to hold with His Commissaries appointed to treat with those of Spain concerning the matters referr'd to them by the Treaty of Seville, we shall stand in need of more assistance than the ordinary establishment of our Office will admit of. For we have no Solicitor, tho' such a person is frequently wanted, and our Secrys. are so fully imploy'd by the common business of the Office, that they have not time for the drawing of reports, and therefore we find ourselves under a necessity of desiring that your Lordsps. wou'd impower us to appoint an additional Officer with the title of Solr. and Clerk of the Reports. As the person who shall be pitch'd upon for this imployment must be a man of good judgement and abilities, it will be requisite he shou'd have a competent salary, and we wou'd propose to your Lordships that it may be £200 pr. annum payable out of the contingencies of our Office.

390. Lt. General Mathew to the Duke of Newcastle. Your Grace's commands of 22nd Jan. last were not deliverd to me till late in April, when I immediately publish'd throughout this Government H.M. Order of the same date for the restitution of prizes to the Spaniards, and I waited expecting such as pretended any injurys from the Spaniards, and which from the King of Spain's cedula they might hope for a reparation of, would have made some application to me, and so have given me an occasion of obeying H.M. orders, by sending your Grace an account of what I should do on their behalf herein, but no such application having been made to me, I have hitherto waited in vain. There came a Gentleman out of England commissioned by some merchants at home, who had some such claims to make, but he never communicated anything of it to me or seemed to be willing I should join or assist him by my letter or otherwise in making his claims. He applyed himself to Capt. Barneley Commander of H.M.S. on this station, who carry'd him directly down to Puerto Rico, and thence to St. Domingo, and there at his own request, left him. Capt. Barneley is now return'd, and tells me the Governour of Puerto Rico would show no manner of regard to the copy of the King of Spain's cedula that was showd to him, nor suffer his officer to continue on shore, or get any the least refreshments, but declar'd he should continue cruizing on the English, till he had orders directly from his King. At Sta. Domingo he was us'd with a great deal of civility. But the Governour would direct no restitution to be made, waiting orders for that purpose. I have since been honour'd with your Grace's orders of 10th March, with the South Sea Co.'s memorial etc. I calld upon Mr. Dunbar (who made the seizure) immediately upon receipt of it, for his account of that matter etc. I find no person here empowerd to receive that restitution [of the effects of the Sta. Reta], if it were to be made, which gives me still time to apply to your Grace for further orders, and as that seizure was made above a year before 11th June, 1728, I am humbly of opinion, that 'tis not a damage for which reparation is to be made on the 5th Article of the Treaty of Seville. And as Mr. Dunbar does not alledge he at first made this seizure for any contraband or illegal trade, but as supposing a warr then waging between the two Nations, I humbly submitt to your Grace whether this restitution (if it be made at all) is not to be first discussed and decided, on the sixth and two separate articles of that treaty, by the Commissarys appointed to assemble at the Court of Spain. But, my Lord, Mr. Dunbar since he made that seizure, as supposing a warr between the two Nations, has found out evidence whereon to charge these Spaniards with contraband trade in this island, and he thinks them condemnable on this evidence, and the seizure a just one. But as this discovery is made since their departure and sale of the goods, he cannot now bring this matter to a judicial tryal. And here the Spaniards have but little room to complain, where but 7000 pieces of 8/8 are seizd and lost to them out of 60,000, the rest of which they carry'd off. But by this contraband trade (had they been tryd) he thinks they would have been lost to them. Tho' Sir Philip Yorke's opinion says not so, upon the case as then stated to him, which was not so full. And therefore I pray leave to lay before your Grace, at Mr. Dunbarr's request, the answer he has given me on this matter, and with it the copys of Sir Phillip Yorke's, Doctor Henchmans, H.M. Attorney General's here and one of our most eminent Counsell's opinions, whereon he endeavours chiefly to justify his proceedings in that seizure, for any imputation of having been too forward or too severe in that discharge of his duty. And I shall send, at his request, the depositions, taken since, to prove the contraband trade, to be laid before your Grace. I have since received the duplicate of your Grace's orders hereon, and at each time that your Grace's came to my hand, I receiv'd a letter therewith from Messrs. Collitt and Perrie, Factors for the South Sea Company on the coast of Carraccas, pressing me to see this restitution immediately made, but referr me to what they shall farther write me from Carraccas. I therefore do not expect to know who will appear to demand this restitution, till after Mr. Perrie get's from London thither. But I find, by his letter, it has been suggested that this seizure would prevent a restitution of the South Sea Company's effects occasion'd hereby, and that the seizing the English sloops at Sta. Cruz, were reprisalia for this seizure at Antigua. But, my Lord, the seizure at Antigua was made the 2nd March, 172 6/7, and the sloops were taken at Sta. Cruz the February before, and the taking the sloops at Sta. Cruz on the contrary occasion'd the seizure at Antigua, and I hope my informations are well grounded and true, that Mr. Collitt at Carraccas (Mr. Perrie's Joint Factor) has had a full restitution already made him of his, or the Company's effects. He has been at least long since return'd hence thither, and is resettled there in as full enjoyment of his trade as formerly. Mr. Byng's demand of this seizure (even now) from Mr. Dunbar, as a right of the Admiralty, make's me also pray your Grace's farther orderes hereon. Signed, William Mathew. Endorsed, R. Nov. 11th. 5 pp. Enclosed, |
