all such Acts and Things as the said Captain by Strength and Force of the said Ship and men by vertue and in pursuance of the said Letters Patents and the Commission hereby given may lawfully do in such manner and Form as by the said Letters Patents is limited expressed and declared In witness whereof the said George Carew hath hereunto set his Hand and Seal the 14 th day of Iune in the Two and Thirtieth year of the Reign of our Soverain Lord King Charles the second Anno Dom. 1680. George Carew NOtwithstanding the said Letters Patent were read in Court hereafter recited at large in the Plea to the Seire Facias Sir Lyonel Jenkins persisted to the Iury that by the Laws of Nations the Treaty at Breda had made null and void all Letters of Reprizal That the Kings Proclamation was of a sufficient Authority to bind all His Subjects and that His Majesty having the power of Peace and War all people were to take notice thereof Unto which the Prisoners replyed that the putting the Letters of Reprizal into Execution was no breach of the Peace neither was any thing done Felo Animo in prosecution of the said Commission or Piratically in pursuance of that Authority contained in the Letters Patents and that they had used the Dutch Master and Seamen with all Kindness and Humanity set them on Shoar with all their Apparel and what else they pleased to take with them Then one of the Learned Iudges insisted that the Commission was voidable at the Kings pleasure being but a bare Authority and determinable at the Kings Will. Whereupon the Prisoners at the Bar Craved to be heard by Mr. Wallup Mr. Molloy and others their Councel to those points in Law who replyed that the King had by His Graut vested the Subjects in this Case with a● Interest coupled with an Authority for Recovery of their Debt and Damages and especially provided for the continuance thereof until satisfaction of the Principal Debt withal Casts and Charges or a Composition for the same with the Parties Interessed and Injured Pro ut ' c. vide the Grant Sir Lyonel Jenkins then further urged erroniously that the Hollanders had not any notice of the Monition for Examination of Witnesses that made proof of the Spoils and Depredation And that the said Letters Patents for Peprizal being Granted in time of War the East-India Company of the Netherlands could make no defence against it Which was otherwise the Monition being fixed upon a Piller of the Exchange in the year 1644. and partecular notice given to the Dutch Embassador to Cross Examine the said Deponents if he pleased And that the East-India Company had sufficient notice and warning two years together by Memorials that the Grant for Reprizals would pass in that nature for Reparation of the Debt and Damages being so recited in the body of the Record Several other Arguments were used and the Major part of the Iudges seemed satisfied therewith Then Iudge Raymond and Iudge Wyndham urged that the Iury might find the Matter Specially which was opposed by divers of the Iudges Sir Job Charleton sayi●g he would not wash his Hands in the Blood of those persons Besides Mr. Carew having obserued that the Treaties mentioned in the pretended Supersedeas and Proclamation were not Inrolled and therefore the Printed Copies thereof offered as Evidence were impertinent So upon the whole matter the Iury brought in their Uerdict that the Prisoners were neither Guilty of Felony nor Pyracy Whereupon Sir Lyonel Jenkins bound over Mr. Carew in a Recognizance under a great Penalty with Caution to answer to an Information at the Kings-Bench-Bar the first day of Easter Term following and would have kept his Original Patent under the Great Seal of England which was Exhibited and read in Court as an Evidence on the behalf of the Prisoners at the Bar upon their Tryal Sir Lyonel pretending that it ought to be detained by way of prevention for that Mr. Carew intended to set forth other Ships upon the like occasion But several of the Iudges answered that the Patent being brought into Court as Evidence by Mr. Carew it ought to be returned to him Sir George Treby alleadging it as a very unreasonable thing that they who came to give Iudgment in Cases of Depredation should be guilty of it themselves so the Patent was retur●●d to Carew accordingly But before Easter Term a Scire Fac●as Issued forth of the High Court of Chancery in the Kings Name directed to the Sheriff of Middlesex to Summon Sir Edmond Turnor and the said George Garew to shew Cause why the said Letters Patents should not be brought into His Majesties said Court of Chancery there to be Cancelled and made void with the Inrollment thereof who were summoned to appear qu●ndenà Paschae 1681. which they did according to the said Summons the Scire Facias and return thereof being contained in hec verba as followeth with the Plea thereunto annexed both remaining of Record in the Petty-bagg Office The Scire Facias Dom.
