Letter from Jamaica Governor to Trinidade Alcaldes on depredations
A dispatch from Nicholas Lawes Governor of Jamaica to the Alcaldes of Trinidade accuses Banciette pretenders and pirates of daily raids against the king's subjects, demands surrender of captives and protection from illicit commissions, and threatens punishment including hanging. It cites Captain Chamleanay, requisitions ships and seized Negroes, and asserts authority of Commodore Vernon in the West Indies.
