a one as a heaver. seldom gives any quarter to. The last time I saw him
was about a month ago, when I went to him, on account of Franque's
having broken open my Locks, got into my study & robbed me of 14 Gns
the 20th Decr last at Night, for wh I was obliged to prosecute him to conviction
and he now is under sentence of Death in Newgate. I have left a Petition asking
Ld Hillsborough the Secretary of State, to be given to the King in his favour
when the Recorder makes his Report of the Condemned Malefactor, & hope
to get him transported to the East Indies or to his own Country — he owns his
ruine to an infamous woman, he was so fascinated as to marry —

Sir Geo. Rodney's Fleet, on yr 8th Jan.y fell in with a Spanish Convoy wch sails
from St Sebastian 1st Jan.y & were protected by Seven Ships & Vessels of War

and one of 10 Guns & 40 men, wch with the 15 Transports were all taken
a fortunate Captain For Poor Sir Geo. Rodney, who is likely from this
Command to Emerge from poverty & distress, into affluence again.", &
unlucky Circumstances from my friend Sneyd, whose Son,
taken with him, a youth about Eleven years old, just it is
School, but this is not all our good news, for the
gives an account of another very particular , That Sir George says
Fleet on the 16th Jany fell in, near the Straights mouth, with a Spanish
Squadron commanded by Don Juan de Langara consisting of Eleven Sail
of the Line, of wch the 14 Domingo the admiral Ship blew up during the
