Description
1763 (3 Dec), complete court document bearing 2s6d colourless embossed revenue, detailing full confiscation og ‘the French Brigantine La Postilion’, the court's decision detailed as ‘her guns, tackle, furniture, ammunition and apparel and the goods, wares, merchandising and effects in her accordingly confiscated and Condemned to our sovereign Lord the King for the use of the Captors.' Filing folds, minor staining and some splitting, of little importance as this is a fascinating historical record which really belongs in a museum! A wonderful lot which which surely ranks amongst the earliest fiscal documents of Jamaica! Superb. McClellan unlisted.
