Warrant under the royal sign manual to Lord Vaughan
[Governor of Jamaica]. The King's hired ship
Thomas and Francis, commanded by Capt. George
Gallop, in consortship with a privateer commanded
by Capt. Edw. Otway, took the Dame Susan of
Amsterdam, aboard of which were 544 negroes,
which [prize] being brought to Jamaica was there
by the Admiralty condemned to the Crown, the Lord
High Admiral and the privateer's fees and charges.
Accordingly 300 of said negroes were disposed
of and 244 left to the King. On their return to
England said Capt. Geo. Gallop and his seamen
petitioned for their right in the said prize according
to the act of 13 Car. II., which gives them all the
merchandise on the gun deck of any prize.
Said petition was referred to the Judge Admiral
[Advocate] here and afterwards to the Commissioners
of Prizes, who after many hearings and full debates,
have sentenced and adjudged the said 244 negroes
to said Capt., officers and seamen, and have likewise
determined what the proportion and shares of the said
officers and seamen ought to be. We understand
that Sir Thomas Lynch, former Governor of Jamaica,
left in your [Lord Vaughan's] hands in money and
debts standing out 4,801l. as the produce of the said
244 negroes. In accordance with the order of the
Commissioners of Prizes you are to immediately remit
to England the full proceeds of the said 244 negroes
to Thomas Yates of Grays Inn as agent, trustee
or assignee of the said Capt. Geo. Gallop, officers
and seamen. Further, the King hereby renounces
and releases all right whatever to the said prize
of 544 negroes, and hereby invests said Yates
therewith in right of said Captain and seamen.

Warrant from Treasurer Danby to the Customs

commodities of the manufacture of France seized
by Mr. Tomlyns, which (as appears from the
petition of Arendt Meyer, a native of Denmark)
were shipped to England from France in an English
ship to be carried from hence in a free ship to Bergen,
in Norway, by reason of the present war between
France and Denmark : it further appearing from
the Customs Commissioners' report of March 29
last on said petition that part of said goods, viz., the
laces, fringes and embroideries are prohibited
goods and a fan which is not to be otherwise prohibited
than as painted ware or tawed leather ;
petitioner being unable to export said prohibited
goods direct from France to Bergen by reason of the
war, and was therefore enforced to embark himself
and goods for London with intention to take the
first free English ship thence to Bergen, of which
he had beforehand advised Peter Spleidt, of London,
merchant, requesting him to provide such passage.

Same for 43,115l. 2s. 7d. to Sir Robert Vyner due to
him for interest and several rewards as follows, viz. :
for 6 per cent. interest and 4 per rent. reward (as by
an account thereof) on 20,216l. 10s. 0d. advanced by
him for the Privy Purse ; on 3,300l. agreed to be
paid and allowed him for the interest, advance and
risque of 30,000l. by him paid into the Treasury
in Ireland ; on 8,804l. 1s. 0d. and 14,221l. 4s. 0d.
which he advanced and lent on several assignments
drawn by John Fenn, agent to Sir George Carteret,
late Treasurer of the Navy, on Sir Thomas Player,
deceased, late Chamberlain of London ; and on 460l.
which he paid to William Gomelden for a diamond
ring sold to the King ; and for 6 per cent. interest
(as by an account thereof) on 93,793l. 9s. 2d. for
plate by him delivered into the Jewel House ;
and for 2 per cent. reward (as by an account thereof)
allowed him for the procurement of 250,000l. on the
security of the Hearthmoney farm in 1665, and on
507,541l. 6s. 11d. which he advanced to Sir George
Carteret during the times of the plague and the [first]
Dutch war : all which said accounts are stated
by Auditor Aldworth and were allowed by Treasurer
Danby the 2nd inst. : the sum total of the principal
money therein for which interest and reward
is craved being 898,336l. 11s. 1d., whereof there
remained unpaid and due to the accomptant at the
31 Dec., 1671 (being the day to which the accounts
are made up), the sum of 27,842l. 12s. 8½d. From
the said accompts it appears that the interest
and several [or distinct, i.e. 4 per cent. and 2 per cent.]
rewards of the said 898,336l. 11s. 1d. cast up to
the respective days of repayment of such part
thereof as was repaid at or before 1671, Dec. 31,
and of the said 27,842l. 12s. 8½d. (being the residue
at that date unpaid) amounts to said
43,115l. 2s. 7d. Further for the said 3,300l.
allowed as above for the risk of returning money
into Ireland and for the 460l. paid as above to
Gomelden, the said Vyner has no security assigned
him. The said two sums are hereby to be paid to
said Vyner as well as said interest of 43,115l. 2s. 7d.
The said accounts herein are to be entered of record
in the office of Auditor of the Receipt and Clerk
of the Pells. (Royal warrant dated April 6 for
said privy seal. Treasurer Danby's subscription
dated April 10 of docquet hereof. Money warrant
dated April 27 hereon accordingly.)

King 473l. on his receipt of customs for said port,
said Docton's estate of 60l. per an. having been long

thereof is entered and now seised for life, and so
pleads the dower in bar to the Exchequer process ;
the condition of said Tredue and Hooper being
very mean, and they having offered 200l. in settlement
(whereof 100l. is an arrear of salary due to
John Morrice as Customer of Barnstaple, who
offers to release the same) which offer being laid before
the King by Treasurer Danby he was pleased to

reported Jan. 22 last that their low condition is
affirmed by testimony of Charles Osborne, one of the

of the mayor and inhabitants of Barnstaple. The
debt is not to be discharged and the estate of
said Docton is to be charged after the death of the
widow.
