Same to same. You are to discharge your tidesmen
from serving on prize ships in future ; you having
represented in your memorial of the 18th inst.
that the charge of boarding and watching prize
ships is grown very great by reason of the long
continuance of tidesmen on board before the ships
are condemned or discharged, and little or no
advantage accrues to the King thereby in his
Customs and in regard that the Commissioners of
Prizes keep officers on board on account of the

export of wool, woolfells etc. and offering a bounty

that the proposed change as above would more

away a person beyond sea ; that Grant was convicted

him and afterwards murdered himself, so that his
estate should have been in petitioner's dispose as
Almoner, but his widow got the Coroner's jury
to bring him in non compos mentis : therefore
petitioner prays a grant of the said forfeited recognisances. |
