Petition to the Lords Justices of Ireland
August 1, 1632
The Lords Justices to the English Privy Council. We send you a complaint of Dublin merchants regarding pirates. We cannot relieve them, and hope the�Whelps�will arrive soon. Enclosing: Petition to the Lords Justices of George Jones, Mayor, Christopher White, Lawrence Allen, Nicholas Mulligan, Francis Kerwin, Thomas Wetherbee, and John Wetherbee, merchants of Dublin. They complain of Nutt the pirate. His depredations must be known to the ships at Bristol, which nevertheless remain there and do nothing. On�21st of July petitioners lost�3000l. worth of goods which were seized by the pirate half a league from Howth. They pray that the pay of the negligent captains may be given to them as satisfaction, and that if these pirates are pardoned they may be first compelled to give petitioners some compensation. Dated at Dublin Castle.
