Trade in Pretended Pardons From See of Rome
In 1799 or 1800 a Southampton frigate captured a tartary bound for the Havannah off Aquilla. Its cargo included cases of quicksilver worth 20000 dollars and paper valued at 30000, stamped as religious pardons and indulgences. The forged papers bore papal and Spanish seals, prices set from half a dollar to seven, and many were sent to ecclesiastical stores. The goods were taken to Tortola and sold to Danish buyers from St Thomas for about 2000, with plans for smuggling to Porto Rico and the mainland.
