1099. May 27. He wrote the Board of Trade in relation to the charge that the Rhode Island government had favored pirates in granting commissions, de, compitining of false reports made by Esquire Randolph to the Commissioners of His Majesty's Custom, and commending to their Lorships' favor the agent of the colony Jableel Brenton, late Coffeetor of Customs, who was in England to represent the interests of the colony.
1705, Max :. He was granted '10 by the Assembly, considering the great charge, trouble, &c., he is at for the benefit and good of thus, Her Majesty's colony.
1704. Dre. 3 In answer to a letter of inquiry, from the Board of Trade, he states that there arrived 1606. May 30, from the coast of Africa, the brigantine Seaflower, with forty seven negroes, of which fourteen were disparus of in this colony for betwist 939 and 935 per head, the rest being transported | to Boston, where the owners of vessel lived, In 1200. Aug. 10th and Oct. 19th and 28th. there sailed ! from this port three vesseis directly for coast of Africa, the two former stoops and the latter a ship. These vessels went to Bubadoes from Africa, and there made disposition of their negroes. The whole and only supply of negroes in this colony is from Barbados; twenty to thirty a year at 50 to 500 per hend when well and sound. There was found but small encouragement for that trade to this colory. our planters having a general dislike for them, by reason of their turbulent and unruly temper, Planter desiring to purchase are supplied by odspring of these they already have, which? increase daily, and the inclination of our people in general is to employ white servants before negroes. In another letter of same date. he says the strength and defence of this colony, consiste chiefly under the Providence of God, in our good look outs, our expeditions by sca and in our militia; the which consists of all male- from -Ixtren to sixty years of age, who are obliged at their own charge to be always provided with a punkt firelock musket or fusee, a sword, or bayonet, cartridge box with one; pound of good powder and four pounds of bullets : who are to be ready upon any alarm to repair to their ensigns at their respective places of rendezvous. A small fort upon an island covers the harbor of Newart, mounted with fifteen pieces of ordnance from six to mine pound ball. As to administra- tion of justice. we have two General Courts ot Trials held in March and September. As to trade. the colony never had any immediate or direct trade to or from Englind. commiolities being exported by way of Beton, and $20,000 has for same years past been remitted from the colony to Boston, for English supplies. We have no trade to any place but Curacoa. The inclination of the youth on Rhode Island is mostly to the sea, the land on said island being all taken up and improved in small farms, so that farmers as their families increase are compelled to put the children to trades. Not above two or three vessels were owned in the colony besides there in Newport. Only two or three vessels of Rhode Island were taken in this war, they being light and sharp for running, so that very few of the enemy's privateers in a tale of wind will run or outsail one of our laded vessels. The colony was preparing to print several sets of the Assembly. The freemen numbered 1.015. militia 1,462, wLite servants 56, black servants 426, total i-habitants, 7,181. Vessels built from 169% to 170%, were: ships y, brigantines 11, sloops >4. Sea faring men 140. Vessels owned in 1708. were : 2 brigan- tines and 3; sloops. Places of trade to and from colony; Jamaica, Barbadoes, Nevis, Antigua, St. Christopher, Mt. Sarratt, Bermuda, Bahamas. Turk'> I-lands, Tortugas, Maleria, Fayal, Surinam, and Curacoa. Exports, lumber, stares, heading, hoops, tref, pork, butter, cheese, onions, horses, ! candles, cider, Indian corn, wax and money. Imports, sugar, molasses. salt, ginger, indigo, pimento, | rum, wine, pieces of eight, English goods, both woolen and lineu, Swedish and Spanish iron.
1220, Jun. 14. He wrote a letter to the Board of Trade in relation to boundaries between Rhode Island and Massachusetts and Connecticut.
