Petition Against English Privateers Interfering with Neutral Trade
Insurers of London present a petition to Lord Haldane accusing English privateers of seizing ships and cargoes bound for St Eustatius and Holland. The plea requests restitution, clearer declarations of what constitutes confiscable neutral goods, and protection from unjust seizures, arguing trade legality under the Treaty of Commerce and seeking royal guidance to curb privateer abuse.
