Catalogue description LORD WYLLUGHBY to CAPT. JACQUES, lieutenant of Mons. Sidney's troop.

--Godart van Rhey, burgher of Wezel, having complained that forty four of his oxen, valued at sixty-six florins apiece, were carried off last October as booty by the troops of the late Floris Groenvelt, du Bois, and Sidney (although Wezel stands on neutral ground), and that the two troops of the country have recompensed him for their shares (as appears also by a letter from the Council of State annexed),* his Lordship hereby orders that the sum of twelve hundred and fifty florins be immediately paid to complainant for the oxen taken by Sidney's troop, in default of which payment he will be compelled to desire the Treasurer of War to keep back this sum from the pay of the said troop.
