Title: GODERT VAN RHEI to LORD WILLOUGHBY.
Description:

--Petition of Godert van Rhei, burgher and merchant of Wesel. On the 12th of January last, his Lordship gave him letters to Capt. Jaques, lieutenant of Mons. de Sidney's troop, in garrison at Doesburch (or in his absence to the cornet), ordering repayment to petitioner of 1,250 florins " de quarante gros monnoye de Flandres," in payment of their share of the forty-four oxen carried off by the three troops of Groenevelt, Du Bois and Sidney. The letter was delivered into the hands of the said cornet on the 4th of February last past, by a sworn messenger of the Chancellery of Guelderland, but the cornet refused to do anything, saying that petitioner lied, and that they had had no share of the oxen. But as it is proved by the informations annexed that they did share the said oxen, and as Captains Groenevelt and Du Bois have already paid for those taken by their men, petitioner once more applied to the Council of State, who have now sent him again by their letters to his Lordship. Prays his Lordship's order to the Treasurer at Wars to stay the required sum out of the pay of the said troop, and therewith satisfy petitioner.
