In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

Petition of divers Coopers of the City of London to the Lords Committee for Irish Affairs. That they did contract with the Commissioners for Victualling to furnish His Majesty's ships with casks for water, and provisions for the Army, and to be paid £2000 on delivery. This was in June and July last, but notwithstanding daily applications they cannot get a penny of their money. Many of them are likely to be ruined in their credit, reputations and family and unable to serve His Majesty's ships in the future. [not dated]. Signed by William Bodford; John Bridger; Christopher Palmer.
