Description (What the record is about)
-
Folios 579-580: Robert Mends, Regulating Officer, Liverpool. Replies to the letter to Captain Colquitt of 19 [August 1807] stating that David Rousheen was impressed on 16 [July 1807] as an Ordinary aged 21, born in Montego Bay. He is a man of colour who was taken out of a West Indiaman. He did not mention a family when examined. He thinks the application is unworthy of attention. Repeats his anxiety about the newly raised men on board HMS Princess as HMS Minstrel received only 30 before she sailed. There are now over 200 in the press room of HMS Princess. The arrival of HMS Muros is very uncertain, nor can he rely on the return of the tender in time to relieve the current pressure.
Folios 581-582: enclosure with folios 579-580. Letter dated 14 August 1807 from David Rousheen to William Marsden, Admiralty, London. He has a wife and 4 helpless children on the Island of Jamaica and is now impressed on board HMS Princess. Asks to supply a substitute.
