Description (What the record is about)
-
Philip Stephens. John Lee, Purser of the Thames, informs us of several irregularities committed by Captain William Locker and the Lieutenants William Osborn and James Williams, causing him to refuse to sign the Captain's certificate. Have written to Captain Vandeput, now Commander of the Thames, to give the Purser leave to attend us for examination. He reports the Purser is ill on board with the gout and cannot be moved. The Lieutenants and Captain Locker's Steward and Coxswain have disproved the Purser's assertions and the Captain and Lieutenants think it hard their wages should be stopped upon his representation only. Suggest the wages should be paid and if subsequently the Purser is proved correct, their half pay and wages will always be equal to the amount
