 Jarvis Couchman gave personal answers in the High Court of Admiralty in February 1652. The libel or allegation to which Jarvis Couchman responded in his personal answers was made by Thomas and William Northey, who claimed to be partowners of the ship the ''Truelove''. Couchman stated that he served as master by the order and appointment of Captaine Richard Crandley and some others, and was unaware that Thomas and William Northey were also partowners. The personal answers are undated, but were probably made on February 14th 1652, or at the latest before February 23rd of the same year.<ref>[[HCA 13/124 f.150v Annotate|HCA 13/124 f.150v]]</ref>
