Morne Fortunee, 1808
Type: Brig ; Armament 14
French privateer captured by the BELETTE: 1808 ; Disposal date or year : 1813
Notes:

26 Aug 1809, is reported to have arrived recently at Barbadoes, from Martinique, and to have departed for the Saintes.

28 Nov 1812 captured the vessel Marrianne.

24 Apr 1817 it was announced that copies of accounts of sale and proceeds' of the capture of the Marrianne were to be lodged in the Registry of the High Court of Admiralty, on the 12 May 1817. Unfortunately though, for those entitled to the prize money from that time on things didn't seem to go as smoothly as they shoulda : the estate of the agent responsible for paying the prize money had gone bankrupt and therefore subsequent payments of the prize money were made in instalments, thus, presumably, not amounting to the full sum due.
25 March 1822 notice was given that distribution of the dividends received by the Treasurer of this Institution, from the estate of Messrs Lark and Woodhead, in the undermentioned prize cases, will commence on 10 Apr next. Whether any dividends were paid in the interim I know not, but the final dividend of 5�d. in the pound due in this respect, didn't become due to be paid by the Examiner of Prize Accounts until 2 Jul 1850.
