[Endorsed:] An Acct. of Dutch Ship William
Cargo a Prize.
[1] Massachusetts Historical Society. The Willem Galley, a Dutch vessel trading between Amsterdam and Curaçao, was seized by a Havana privateer on charges of smuggling, was then retaken by the Revenge and Success, cruising together in consequence of the above agreement, [doc. no. 160], carried into Rhode Island, and condemned as a prize by the vice-admiralty court there. An appeal was taken. The briefs presented in the case when it came before the Lords Commissioners of Appeal seven years later, Nov. 30, 1752, are in the collection of such briefs mentioned in [note 1] to [doc. no. 157] as belonging to the New York Public Library, and are described by Mr. Paul L. Ford in Mass. Hist. Soc., Proceedings, XXV. 99. The question was, had the Willem become a Spanish ship. The Lords Commissioners restored it to the appellants, Pieter Couwenhoven and other Dutch subjects. The respondents were Capt. James Allen and others; one of their two advocates was Dr. George Hay, afterward Sir George Hay, judge of the High Court of Admiralty.
[2] A seroon, Sp. seron, was a bale or package made up in an animal's hide.
[3] Kegs of the blue powder used by laundresses.
