AWM.743.022
16-23 Jun 1743:31 (1224)
London, . . . Apr 12. . . Yesterday 73 chests of silver,
taken on board the Pierre-Joseph, by his Majesty's ship the
Squirrel, was brought to the bank, guarded by the officers
and crew of the said ship. As the treasure found in this
prize is the most to the captors that has been taken this
war, and they have met with speedy justice in condemning
her, the sailors attended the money with musick and colours
flying, and the officers gave a handsome entertainment at
the Fountain behind the exchange. . .
