Pirate action and convoy losses reported with late 1743 notes
A nautical dispatch recounts a chase and engagement with a ship flying French colors, the Minerva of Provincia believed bound for Vera Cruz, plus the loss of the Lark from Antigua to Liver. It notes captains, convoy duties, and a captured crew as prizes, alongside Broadside stock and several public notices from Dublin and nearby ports about seizing tobacco and felons, and a court-related land notice in Ireland with lease details.
