John Clevland. Receipt of all the ships' books and papers found in the possession of William Shepherd, Acting Clerk of the Barfleur, for examination. Observe on the muster book Abel Watson is entered under Captain's Clerk but on the books at Chatham, Sheerness, Deal and Portsmouth, he is entered as Captain's servant. List of 8 fictitious men on his Lordship's books, who are all rated Captain's servants on the books but not on the general muster book.
