Remit to Major Forbes concerning a frigate to Fort William

AConcerning a petition given in to the lords of their majesties’ privy council by Major Forbes in Colonel Hill’s regiment showing that whereas the William and Marie frigate attending the garrison of Fort William is sent by Colonel Hill to Greenock for transporting the whole clothes and accoutrements and other necessities of the said Colonel’s regiment in order to the going to the fields against the highlanders, and the said frigate having in her voyage from Ireland to the garrison with provisions lately brought thither lost her sails and much of her rigging through stress of weather and tempest at sea, so that she cannot sail from Greenock to the garrison with the goods foresaid without hazarding both men’s lives and the ship unless she be provided with cables, sails and rigging and also provided with victuals for the commander and his crew as the master of the ship here present on the place can verify and instruct, and therefor humbly craving their lordships to recommend to the lords of their majesties’ treasury to order forty or fifty pounds sterling to be given to the commander of the said frigate to pay the cable, sails and rigging which he has secured in Glasgow for the use of the said ship, and also for the defraying of the expenses of the master and crew’s wages and victuals since the date of their last precept from the lords of the treasury, and providing victuals for this present voyage from Greenock to Fort William least through the want thereof the master and crew refuse to sail the said frigate back to Fort William with the goods abovementioned, and thereby his majesty’s service be retarded as the said petition bears. The said lords of their majesties’ privy council having heard this petition given in to them by the above Major Forbes read in their presence they hereby remit the same to the lords of their majesties’ treasury, and recommends to their lordships that they take special care and give peremptory orders for providing without delay whatever things in this petition their lordships shall find to be necessary or useful for the service of their majesties and the government.
