Prefixing: (a) Order of the Lords Justices in Council, dated Whitehall, June 6 inst., made on a report dated the 3rd inst. from the Admiralty Lords, on the petition of Capt. Benj. Hoskins, second Captain of his Majesty's ship Royal William; petitioner setting forth that when he commanded the Crown he did in 1690, Dec. 7, take a small French man of war called the Frippon off the Island of Scilly, for which he prays an allowance of gunnage and tonnage. The Admiralty Lords find that Hoskins delivered said ship to Sir Clously Shovell, by whom she was put into the custody of the officers at Portsmouth and she was afterwards employed in the King's service by the name of the Crown Prize. It is reasonable he should have his claim for gunnage (18 guns) and tonnage (241 tons). Hereupon the Lords Justices order that he have said allowance to be distributed amongst the officers and ship's company. |
