Concerning the petition given in to the lords of their majesties’ privy council by Lieutenant William Troup, showing that the petitioner at Boyne water in Ireland having ventured his life in their majesties’ service, and thereafter at the siege of Limerick he did lose two horses worth upwards of three score pounds Sterling which were shot under him in the said engagements, as the petitioner’s testificat produced with the said petition has testified. And thereafter the petitioner having attended General Douglas to England, from whence he was commanded to come to Scotland, where he has now remained for the space of seven or eight months. And the petitioner having contracted great sickness, it has reduced him to such pinching straits that he is not able to carry himself honestly abroad to attend their majesties’ service, which the petitioner is always willing to do if he had supply for his transportation, and therefore craving that their lordships would be pleased to take the petitioner’s case to consideration and allow him some supply for carrying of his expenses according to his quality to their majesties at London as the said petition bears. The said lords of their majesties’ privy council having considered the petition given in to them by the above Lieutenant Troup, they hereby recommend to the lords commissioners of their majesties’ treasury to cause present payment be made to the petitioner of the sum of ten pounds Sterling for his supply and defraying of his charges in his journey to London.
