Same to Charles Fox of the petition of Gesom (Gezom)
Russell, shewing that being appointed Agent to
the Regiment of Horse now commanded by Col.
Theodor Russell, he was ordered to furnish said
Regiment with several accoutrements to the value
of 700l., which he bought and sent away ; that he
was ordered by said Colonel to take up of William
Harbord, late Paymaster General of the Army in
Ireland, what money should be wanting to pay
for same, and Harbord being superseded by Charles
Fox et al. petitioner applied to said Fox for said
money, but Fox having no money in his hands
cannot supply same without Treasury order : that
petitioner is now forthwith commanded for Ireland
with the remainder of said accoutrements and
"is indebted for same and for the carriage to Chester
the sum of 95l." and is daily threatened to be arrested
if payment be not made : therefore prays an order
to said Fox to pay him 95l. out of the clearings
due to said Regiment. |

William Jephson to the Customs Commissioners,
enclosing a copy [missing] of an Order in Council,
dated yesterday, for putting an embargo on ships.
I have sent the original to the Treasury Lords to
be signed, but they do not meet till to-morrow,
and it's uncertain whether a quorum of them can
be found to-day to sign it. Please give such order
that the service may not suffer by this delay and
I will not fail to send you the original order with
my Lords' [subscription of] warrant thereupon either
to-night or to-morrow morning. (Said Treasury
warrant dated July 10 to said Commissioners to
observe said Order of the Queen in Council prefixed,
dated Whitehall, July 9, for an embargo or stay to
be made of all ships and vessels whatsoever now
within or which hereafter shall come into any of
the ports, harbours or roads of England, Wales
or Berwick on Tweed, until further order ; such
ships and vessels only excepted as are or shall be
imported [sic for employed] in his Majesty's service.) |
