Description (What the record is about)
-
Miscellanea: a range of court instruments, many of them copies, which can be related to cases elsewhere in the series. There are about a dozen documents pre-1600 and only seven post 1700 in this piece, but there is a series, beginning in the mid-16th century and until 1683, of interrogatories put to Thames juries; there are two documents, juxtaposed, about seditious and treacherous words spoken at sea, dated 1639 and c 1663; two letters from Samuel Pepys to Sir Leoline Jenkins in 1675, for which period there is more of Jenkins's correspondence, along with French and Dutch licences to English ships' masters; and concerning the affairs of Thomas Shafto, master of the Exchange in 1687, an odd mix of papers which were confiscated by Judge Reading and sent to the Registry.
