Description

Folios 210-211: Andrew Smith, Regulating Officer, Greenock. States the case of Robert McKerdy, aged 32, on board HMS Elizabeth, impressed out of the brig George, on information that he was a deserter from HMS Renown. States that as McKerdy can pay for his discharge and has a wound to the chest, he does not want to keep him.

Folios 212-213: Enclosure with folios 210-211: Mary Morrison. Petitions for the discharge of her husband Robert McKerdy on the grounds that the impressment has interrupted his education and his chances of being appointed as a Master of a Merchant vessel and thereby being better able to provide for his family.

Folios 214-215: Enclosure with folios 210-211: Mary Morrison, Greenock, 14 August to the Admiralty. Encloses a petition and a letter from Michael McArthur, Merchant in Greenock.

Folio 216: Enclosure with folios 210-211: Andrew Smith, Regulating Officer, Greenock. A report on the number of men procured at Greenock Rendezvous and how they were disposed of for the period 15 to 22 August 1811.
