Folios 184-185: William Charleton, Regulating Captain, North Shields. Reports on the case of Charles Tonkinson whose discharge has been applied for by P Taylor in the enclosed letter. Advises that Charles Tonkinson was impressed at South Shields on 2 May 1805 and detained as fit to serve by Mr Dreery, Examining Surgeon, as the injury to the hand did not prevent its perfect use. Advises that he has never considered Pension tickets as exemptions from future services and dismissed that plea.
