Description

William Marsden. Rear Admiral Rowley and Lieutenant Skottowe of the Stag have sent letters reporting that the owners have evaded their contract by substituting boys for men in the crew of the vessel. The owners of the vessel will be mulcted of the pay of all boys aboard the cutter. Have written to Mr. Skottowe to ask if he has proof that the owners have hired men to answer to the names of the crew, when mustered by the Clerk of the Cheque at Sheerness to be received into pay. The Clerks of the Cheque at other yards have been advised about this fraud, to prevent it happening elsewhere.
