Printed certificate of receipt by Sir Thomas
Smith Treasurer of Virginia, from Viscount Cranborne of 251 "for his
adventures towards the said voyage." Lord Cranborne is to have his
full rateable part of such lands, etc, as shall be recovered, planted and
inhabited, and of such mines and minerals of gold, silver and other
metals or treasure, pearls, precious stones, merchandise, etc, as shall
be obtained in the said voyage. 14 November, 1611. "Sealed in the

He is counsel for one Wright against Sir Nathaniel Bacon "of our
country", who has procured a grant of Wright's wardship. Upon
evidence given in the country last summer, the jury offered a verdict
against the King, whereupon the escheator bound over some of them to
appear in the Court of Wards tomorrow to rehear the evidence. He is
told a grievous complaint was made against him to my Lord of Salisbury
for miscarrying himself in giving evidence in the country, and that my
Lord is so incensed that he will himself sit tomorrow in the Court and
fall very heavily upon him; and he is advised not to be there. The
accusation is most false, and to withdraw himself would argue guilt.
It may be there is no such matter, but that it is a trick put upon him.
Begs Wilson to learn whether there is any complaint against him,
whether my Lord will sit or no, and if a complaint is made, to say what
course he may take to give my Lord satisfaction. Lincoln's Inn, 21
