Prefixing : (a) order of the King in Council, dated
Whitehall, Jan. 28 [sic ? for 23], referring to the
Treasury Lords the petition of the traders to Barbados,
Jamaica and the Leeward Islands ; petitioners
setting forth that said islands have always been
supplied with great part of their provisions from
England and Ireland and with all their clothing
and utensils for making sugar from hence, and by
the Act of Navigation cannot have anything from
or send anything to any other part of Europe ; that
since the stop of trade from Ireland they have not
had any supplies from thence and few ships have
gone from England in about a twelvemonth [past],
whereby the said islands will be in great want of
provisions, clothing and utensils for making sugar
and of ships for bringing home their commodities,
which will spoil in lying there ; that the Plantations
were much impoverished by the heavy duties laid
upon sugars in the late King's reign and by the loss
of several ships taken this year by the French :
and therefore praying that the ships designed
[bound] for said islands which are already cleared
out[wards] may be permitted to proceed on their
voyages. Hereupon the King orders that the
Customs Commissioners be directed to consider the
list of ships that will be brought to them to-morrow
by the Barbados, Jamaica and Leeward merchants,
and to report whether any of them be fit to be
stopped from their voyages. |

Royal warrant to the Earl of Ranelagh [Paymaster
of the Forces]. By the royal warrant of 1689,
Mar. 6, we authorised you to pay by way of imprest
to the Regiments and Companies which should
embark for Holland what should appear due to
them to 1689, Mar. 1, but if their muster rolls on
the following April 1 should shew any defect in
numbers, then deductions for the missing items
should be made (from the April pay) as from 1688,
Dec. 14. But now, by reason of the said Regiments
going on board, they were not regularly mustered
on the said April 1, so the said warrant could not
have its effect. For the greater encouragement
of the said Regiments it is hereby ordered that
debentures be made out for their complete pay as
from 1688, Nov. 1, to 1688-9, Feb. 28, according to
the full numbers upon the establishments, notwithstanding
any defect of numbers : that is to say
for the Second Troop of Guards and Grenadiers ;
the Royal Regiment of Horse ; Royal Regiment of
Scots Foot Guards ; Royal Regiment of Fusiliers ;
the Regiments of Foot commanded by Col. Charles
Churchill, Col. Jno. Hales, Sir David Coliear, Col.
Edward FitzPatrick, Col. Robert Hodges and Col.
Francis D'O Farrell. And further, debentures
are to be made out for their pay for two months,
1689, Mar. 1, to April 30, according to their complete
numbers, notwithstanding any want of muster
rolls ; deducting for such officers and men as shall
be wanting in the muster roll of 1689, May 1. In
making out the said debentures care is to be taken
not to include the pay of any Roman Catholic
officers belonging to the said Regiments for the
months of Nov. and Dec., 1688, and also to except
all whose pay was advanced by the late King before
his abdication. |
