In answer to the letter concerning James Redgreve, reports that he was impressed by Lieutenant John Duval of HMS Leveret from the Britannia of South Shields on 7 February. When questioned, Redgreve said he was a Sea Fencible. Another man impressed from the same vessel, William Saunders, made the same claim, but as neither of them was able to produce a protection, Commander Crispin detained them.
