Description (What the record is about)
-
Letter with two enclosures (both dated 16 September from the Marshalsea Prison) concerning Alexander Dalzell detained upon suspicion of piracy and James Flannan confined for debt (both agreeing to serve the government as informants). Relates to Captain Dalzell's information about a packet of letters intended for the French court, detailing Doctor Sacheverell's [High Anglican anti-Whig] sermons ['Sacheverell Trial']. Flannan moreover was ruined by the [impeachement of the Tory] Earl of Oxford, while Dalzell's father was Paymaster General of King James' army in Ireland and (as good Protestants) begs allowance for his wife and poor family to subsist.
