Prefixing : (a) Order of the Queen in Council, dated
Sept. 22 last to permit the ship Reward, Jonas Cock
master, 34 men, to sail to the Levant on the same
terms as the Levant Company's former eight ships
were suffered to go ; on the said Company's petition,
shewing that the several ships appointed for carrying
out the woollen manufactures of this kingdom under
the designed convoy for all parts of Turkey are not
sufficient for that service and therefore praying for
said ship to carry out the remaining part of their
goods. |
Out Letters (Customs)

Same to same to observe (a) infra.

Whitehall, Nov. 24 last, for leave to the eight
ships following to sail to Turkey, notwithstanding
the embargo ; in accordance with the leave granted
Aug. 8 and 11 last to the Turkey Company to send
out eight ships this year : viz. : Chandois, John
Bonell commander ; George, Richard Bouchier ;
Asia, John Hazlewood ; Loyalty, Robert Betton ;

Crowne, Posthumus Salway ; Italian Merchant,
George Phinney : with 470 men in all. |

Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the
petition of Gilbert Nelson et al., proprietors of the
Zante frigate, Nath. Derby master, taken by the
French and carried into Morlaix ; and likewise on
the petition of Nath. Wood, John Coltman and
other merchants, the former proprietors of said
ship and her cargo : both parties desiring licence
to redeem same. It appears that Wood and Coltman
were the original proprietors of ship and cargo
before her capture, and that Nelson and others
were only insurers thereon for the voyage. We
think licence to redeem her (if granted) should be
granted to the original proprietors and not to the
insurers. |

to satisfy Mr. Pultney ; otherwise they will lay
the matter before the King. |

The Treasury Lords to Tho. Fotherby, esq., Commissary
General of the Forces intended for the
West Indies. We have received a letter from the
Victualling Commissioners with an account of the
provisions which they have provided for the Forces
in the West Indies or going thither : viz. for 100
soldiers at sea at short allowance for 56 days
(3,734lb. of bread at 1½d. per lb. and other items
detailed, 3,734 gallons of beer, beef, pork, flour,
currants, peas, oatmeal, butter and cheese, to a
total of 109l. 19s. 7½d., from which is to be deducted
34l. 19s. 1½d. because "on shore there is no beer" ;
and 3l. 19s. 2d. is to be added for oil instead of
butter and cheese, being 50 gallons at 4s. 3d. per
gallon, making 10l. 12s. 6d., which is 3l. 19s. 2d.
more than the butter and cheese : resulting total,
78l. 19s. 8d.). This comes to about 3¾d. per man
a day, but is only the bare cost of the provisions
without reckoning anything for freight, casks or
any other charges whatsoever.
You are hereby to give out and distribute the
said quantity of provisions accordingly, deducting
4d. per day from each soldier while beer is allowed
them and 3¼1/8d. per day each when there is no beer
allowed them, and proportionately less for any
lesser quantity of provisions actually served.
Further, as you are appointed to pay the subsistence
to the said Land Forces, you are upon computing
the abovesaid deductions to satisfy the balance of
the subsistence according to the Regulation already
given you : for all which the receipt of the Commander
of each Regiment or Independent Company
shall be your sufficient discharge. |
Ibid, p. 417. |
Treasury order to the Customs Commissioners to
observe (a) infra.
Prefixing : (a) Order of the King in Council, dated
Kensington, Dec. 4, that all ships in Exeter port
bound for Spain, Bilboa, Portugal and the Canaries
that shall be ready to sail with their respective
convoys be permitted to clear and sail to Plymouth
to join the convoys on giving the usual bonds to
go and return with their convoys : all by reason
that no ships were to clear later than Oct. 10 last
for Spain, Bilboa or Portugal and Oct. 20 for the
Canaries, but the merchants of Exeter allege they
had not timely notice of these dates so as to clear
their ships in time and have therefore prayed
relief. |
Out Letters (Customs

Treasury order to the Customs Commissioners to
observe (a) infra.

(for proceeding to and returning from their ports
or the ports of the Allies) be put in suit wherever
the Customs Commissioners are not clearly satisfied
that they have been complied with. In cases
where no certificates of discharge in such ports
have been produced, but the Commissioners are
satisfied other ways that those ships have bona fide
unladed at the ports designed, the bonds are not
to be prosecuted : all on a report of Nov. 7 last
from the said Commissioners. |
Out Letters (Customs)
XIII, p. 5. |

the list adjusted to go to the Plantations, which
shall receive on board so many of the Land Forces
to go for Ireland as the Commissioners of Transports
shall agree for within this present month : and that
the Admiralty Lords do order a fourth rate frigate
besides the two men of war designed for their
convoy and that, after the landing of the said Forces,
they do convoy them 150 leagues to sea from the
West of Ireland : all by reason that the Council
Board has this day received a letter from the Commissioners
for Transports that they are advised
from Bristol that the ships outward bound to
Vriginia and the West Indies are ready to sail and
are willing to transport 2,000 men or more to
Waterford or Cork at reasonable rate, their Majesties
finding provisions and convoy. |
Ibid, p. 6. |
Treasury reference to the Commissioners of Transports
of the petition of William East and others, masters
of four ships employed by the Victualling Commissioners
to carry victuals to the Fleet, shewing
that attending that service they were commanded

Justices to carry the Danish Forces to Ostend and
that the Vitcualling Commissioners and Transports
Commissioners refuse to state their accounts for
that service. |
Reference Book VI, p. 434. |
