Description (What the record is about)
-
Folios 351-352: Thomas Walbeoff, [Regulating Captain], Poole. Encloses a letter received yesterday from the Navy Board. The Admiralty had ordered him in a letter dated March 4 1805 to pay the press gangs the increased reward promised in the King's proclamation of 6 February 1805, agreeable to the Admiralty letter of 7 July 1803. He had received an earlier letter dated 2 May 1804 which ordered him to pay the press gangs 20 shillings for every Able or Ordinary Seamen they discovered, which their Lordships considered might make the gangs exert themself. Because he believed it was the Admiralty's intention that the gangs should receive the increased reward, he has been paying it to them. Hopes the Admiralty will approve as this has caused the gangs to procure more men.
Folios 353-354: enclosure with folios 352-352. Letter from W Palmer, W Rule and T F Hartwell of the Navy Office to Captain [Thomas] Walbeoff, the Impress Service, Poole, dated 21 March 1805. Acknowledge receipt of Captain Walbeoff's letter of 8 March 1805 with an account of disbursements up to 7 March , reporting that he has paid two pounds 10 shillings to the press gang for information about three Ordinary Seamen. They have received no instructions from the Admiralty to increase the reward paid to the gangs, and do not consider that the King's proclamation applies to them.
