After I came home a messenger came from my Lord to bid me come to him tomorrow morning. 10th. Early to my Lord's, who privately told me how the King had made him Embassador in the bringing over the Queen. After the death of the king she lived for some time at Somerset House, and then returned to Portugal, of which country she became Regent in 1704 on the retirement of her brother Don Pedro.
That most reprehensible practice, the pressing of cripples for naval purposes, would appear to have had its origin in the unauthorised extension of an order issued by the Lord High Admiral, in 1704, to the effect that in the appointment of cooks to the Navy the Board should give preference to persons so afflicted.
