Sir
I have the honor to enclose herewith a duplicate of my last of the 16th. January, also duplicate list of all Captures which have been condemned and of recaptures tried in the Court of Vice Admiralty of Grenada and the Grenadines since the commencement of the present Rebellion in America to which is aded a recapture not included in the Original List, viz. the Snow York, taken by his Majesty's Ship Pelican1—It appeared by the depositions of the American Master & Mate that she was taken by an American Privateer when on a Voyage from Cork bound to N. York, but I could not trace to what Part she belonged, nor the Snow or the Former masters names; I presume their Lordships will cause public notice to be given of it in the London Gazettes.
I have the honor to be Sir [&c.]
[Enclosure]
Duplicate
Grenada 16th. Jany. 1778—
Sir
In compliance with the directions of the Lords of the Admiralty signified to me in your Letter of the 30th. Septr. have the honor to enclose herewith a list of all Captures that have been condemned in the Vice Admiralty Court of this Island, since the breaking out of the Rebellion in North America, specified in the manner directed.1
I have not as yet received the list of Captures condemned at Tobago, but believe there are none. I shall however be able to transmit a certain account by the next Packet, along with a dupicate of this.—As to those condemned at St. Vincents, the Letter which I lately had the occasion to write you, would explain my situation asJudge of the Court in that Island which may prevent their Lordships from receiving the desired information, unless a Letter has been also addressed to the Judge there, which I find has on some occasions been done.
I have the honor to be Sir [&c.]
H Symon
