Same to same to discharge two bonds given at Antigua
in the West Indies as follows by the correspondents
of Samuell Randall and George Griffith of Cork in
Ireland, they having by petition to the Treasury
Lords shewn that being Protestants they suffered
very much from the Papists during the time they
were under their power and having then no opportunity
of sending their effects to England, and
being daily plundered in Ireland they sent two
small barques called the Endeavour and Industry
to Barbados and the Leeward Islands with provisions,
which came seasonably for the supply of his Majesty's
Forces there ; that being traders to the West Indies
they had considerable effects there, most part
whereof they ordered to be remitted to their friends
in England and but little to be sent to Ireland,
"the petitioners in that as in all other things using
their utmost endeavours to draw off their effects
from Ireland as fast as possible without hazarding
their lives" ; that in the West Indies their
correspondents gave bond, as is usual, for the said
barques delivering their cargo of 80,431 lbs. of leaf
tobacco in England, but the masters of the barques,
hoping that by [the time of] their return [Ireland]
might be in their Majesties' power, called at Kinsale
and Cork in April last for orders as to what part of
England to proceed and were there stopped by the
late King James's orders or would otherwise have
proceeded to England to discharge, "and the
petitioners having no opportunity of paying the
Customs of the said tobacco that ought to be paid
in England into their Majesties' hands, thought of
an expedient of paying double the sum for the
good of their Majesties' subjects and accordingly
paid 335l. 2s. 7d. into the hands of the Bishop of
Cork and his official, to be distributed for the support
of a great number of poor distressed Protestant
subjects about Cork (in the diocese of Cork and
Ross), which was privately done accordingly,
amounting to a penny per lb. for the said tobacco,"
as appears by a certificate from the Bishop of Cork
and Rosse annexed to the said petition, without
which seasonable and comfortable relief the said
poor would, in all probability, have perished in
great measure : on which petition the Customs
Commissioners have certified that if said tobacco
had been imported to England and re-exported to
Ireland the duty remaining to the King would
have been only about half the sum so paid. But
this present discharge is not to be drawn into a
precedent. |
