Description

Folios 521-522: Joshua Sydney Horton, Regulating Officer, Liverpool. Replying to the letter of 25 April. Richard Crocomb, born in Bristol, was pressed by Lieutenant Evans on 16 April as an Able Seaman. He said he was Master of the Harmony, but the Register showed William Silby as the Master. He then claimed to be the Mate. He was taken on shore at night. He returns the enclosure. Two substitutes have been received for Thomas Porter on board the Salvador del Mundo. His wife has been much distressed in raising the two men, and cannot provide the four required by the order of 3 March. He recommends that the man is discharged for the two already provided.

Folios 523-524: enclosure with folios 521-522. Letter dated 23 April 1809 from Peter Pye, of 24 Crooked Lane, Liverpool. Richard Crocomb, late Mate of the Harmony, of the Newfoundland Trade, was pressed on 16 April. He wishes to present his case. His aged parents and widowed sister, with a young family, are dependent on his wages.
