Folios 83-84: Benjamin Carter, Regulating Captain, Liverpool. Reply to letter dated 5 June 1810. States William Richards was impressed by Lieutenant Evans on 31 May 1810 as Ordinary [Seaman] aged 19, born in Wexford. He said he was the Master of the Thomas and Ann, he was taken on shore at ten o'clock at night. William Sims was impressed by Lieutenant Evans on 23 May 1810 as Able [Seaman] aged 29, born in Norfolk. The case of this man is gravely misstated in the application as Lieutenant James Raye Evans assures me he was personally present with his gang and stopped James Cutler the deponent in the street very much in liquor and dressed in jacket and trousers at a quarter before ten o'clock that evening, that he said he was Master of a vessel but had no document to prove it. He struck one of the Midshipman. At about half past ten the same evening the Lieutenant impressed William Sims (in company with a woman) at Salt House Dock. He was sent on board on 24 May 1810 and Cutler was detained until his papers were produced which was not until the evening of 24 May 1810 when he was discharged. Also sent a Certificate produced by a man calling himself John Tuckerman who was impressed by Lieutenant [James Hamilton] Clarke [Clark] on 6 June 1810 as Able [Seaman] aged 30, born in Teignmouth. He came here in the Atlas a Merchant vessel (not a Transport as stated in the Certificate) at 9 Guineas a month, belonging to Mr Fletcher of this port.
