All which hath constantly since been held possessed and enjoy'd by the said Lords Proprietors, their Heirs and Assigns, by the name and style of the Palatine and the rest of the true & absolute Lords Proprietors of Carolina. And the sayd Attorney in the behalf as aforesaid. Sheweth that his Excell'y the Palatine and the rest of the true and absolute Lords Proprietors of Carolina for encouraging the whale fishing in their sayd Province have for a long time granted publick leave & kycence to the Inhabitants of other Governments to take, kill & save whales and all other Royall fish in any of the Bays, Seas or Coasts within their sayd Limits and Dominion yielding and paying annually to them the sayd Palatine and the rest of the true and Absolute Lords & Proprietors of Carolina or their Receivers for them one tenth part of the Oyle or Blubber and finn or Whalebone commonly so called by them so taken, killed and saved and the sayd Attorney Gen'l further sheweth that upon the encouragem't & lycence so given as aforesaid, Sundry Inhabitants of New England and elsewhere as well as the Inhabitants of this government for severall years past in divers Crews or Companys in Ships or Sloops have come into Ports and Harbours of this Government, the Masters whereof by proper permits and Lycences have landed their respective Companys or Boats Crews of Men, with their Boats, tackle, stores and utensils to follows the sayd imploy of Whaling and have killed, taken and saved sundry whales on the Coast of the Government and thereof made considerable quantities of Oyle and Bone and have constantly payd the tenth part thereof annually as aforesaid yet nevertheless so it is that in the year of our Lord 1725, on or about the month of December Josiah Doty, Master of a Sloop or Ship with a great Company of men and Severall Boats with Tackle & stores under his care, charge and conduct did enter his sayd Vessell & stores in Port Beaufort within this Government by virtue of the aforesaid Toleration or lycence was permitted to unlode his sayd Company with their Boats, Stores and Utensils to go on the sayd employ of Whaling on the Sea Coasts of this Government for the winter Season of the sayd year who during the sayd season did kill, take and save a great number of Whales in the Bays, Shoar or Sea Coast of this Government and thereof did save and make the quantity of three hundred barrels of Oyle and one thousand weight of whalebone yet nevertheless the said Josiah Doty did not pay and render nor cause to be divided, payd and rendered to the said Palatine and the rest of ye true & absolute Lords Proprietors nor their Receiver the sayd Tenth part of the said Oyle and Bone, but the whole thereof in the said Vessell and other Vessels did carry and Transport out of this Government and doth still deny & refuse the said Tenth part of said Oyle and Bone by them gott as aforesaid to pay and render altho' he hath been often thereto required to the damage of his Excell'y John Lord Carteret Palatine & the rest of the true & absolute Lords Proprietors of Carolina five hundred pounds and thereon the sayd Attorney in their behalf as aforesaid commandeth suit and prays process and judgment thereon for the said damages and costs. Signed." WM. LITTLE, Attorney Con't Precinct. Copy. W. BADHAM, Clerk Cur. Gen'l. LETTER FROM EDWARD MOSELEY TO AUGUSTIN SCARBOROUGH. CHOWAN, March 12, 1712. SIR: With this by Wm. Cartwright I send you the list of claimə for your Precinct-But the money in Publick Bills of Credit not holding out as was expected-It is concluded by the Comm'ers for Issuing them out but half the Claims now, excepting the So. Carolina List, Maj. Gales' expedition to So. Carolina, for drawing the bills of Credit, & Capt. Hecklefield which are agreed to be paid off entirely for paym't of Mr. Knight's & Mr. Foster's Claims I have drawn out a distinct parcel of Bills, which I am to give them. I send you 292£ in Bills proportionable for ye four yearly payments sealed up with the same seal as this is. You are to remember that you pay nobody above half of their claim and that must be so proportioned that he have a part of each year's bills and not one to have the first years bills & another last ye years. But if it so happen that it must be proportioned to pay one man his Claims by himself I believe it were better to Joyn so many together as may be convenient and that will bear a proportion. And sometimes where the sum is small & will not admitt of a bill for each year then to give a bill either of the second or third year for as I said before to give one the first and another ye last will be hard measure to some. I have thus ventured to give a small acct. how I intend to manage it in my precinct believing it may give you some light towards Distributing them in yours, I remain Sir, PRESENT HIS MAJESTY'S JUSTICES. These may certify that the following is a true copy of the Rates ordered to be taken by the Ordinary Keepers in this County for the several Articles under mentioned, viz: Rum per Gallon and so in proportion.. Madeira, Vidona and other wine per Quart & so in proportion One Quart of Flip with pint of Rum on it. Carolina Cyder per quart. ... Northern Do 66 do £ s d .2 10 0 15 0 40 10 20 |
