1632. [Jan. 13.]37. Petition of John Delbridge, of Barnstaple, merchant, to the Privy Council. In July, 1630, he freighted a small barque for Virginia and the Bermudas, but during her voyage a proclamation was issued that no tobacco should be landed in any other port than London. By reason of a leak the owners will not adventure their barque to London, and much of the tobacco is wet. Prays that the officer of customs at Barnstaple, to whom the tobacco was of necessity delivered, may be required to take reasonable customs for it. [A copy of this petition in DOMESTIC Corresp. Car. I, is endorsed, "Read 13 Jan. 1631–2, and denied."] Annexed,
