Purpose of page

The MarineLives project is seeking to link and enhance HCA 13/71, not just to transcribe it.

Many port trades are mentioned in HCA 13/71, with descriptions of the trade, as well as personal details of the residence and background of the individuals pursuing these trades

All associates, facilitators, advisors and PhD Forum members are encouraged to contribute to this page from their knowledge of the material, and from their broader knowledge and interest in the topic.

Brewers clerk

Well acquainted with the prices and valewes of all sorts of beere and casks

Francis Hynde was a fifty-six year old Merchant taylor who had worked as a Brewer's Clerk for thirty years of so. He was called to testify as to the prices and value of various beers, including high quality Sea beer, which was brewed to travel long distances by ship.

Hynde quoted a price of 39 shillings per ton for Sea beer, and a carriage rate of 12d per tonne to deliver the beer from the brewhouse at Maudlins Lane to Blackwall to put aboard ships.

• "42. To the second árticle of the said allegation and ˹schedule annexed (now read unto him)˺ hee saith and deposeth

43. that hee this deponent hath bin a Brewers' clarke theise 30 yeares
44. last or thereabouts and is soe at present, and thereby is well acquainted wuth
45. the prices and valewes of all sorts of beere and casks, and well knoweth
46. that in the yeare and for all all the monethes of the yeere 1652, thirtie nine
47. shillings was the ordinary, usuall and vendible rate and price of Sea
48. beere per tonne one tonne with another, and soe much it was well worth
49. without casks being allowed into the rate, and saith that sea-beere is
50. better brewed and of greater charge in brewing than other beere; and that
51. further

1. further that two barrells of barrells of casks is ordinarily worth 8s at the common
2. price, and 12d per tonne is a usuall and ordinary rate to be given and paid
3. for carrying here from Maudlins lane neare bettle bridge and thereabouts
4. aboard shipps at Blackwall. And otherwise hee cannot depose."

Delivery of beer and barrells from the harts horne brewhouse in Eastsmithfeild to the ship the Salem

• "In the yeare 1650 and more particularly in or about the moneth of May or June of the said yeare (as hee remembreth the time) there was delivered at and from the Brewhouse of the said Abraham Corsellis^[6] (knowne by the name of the harts ?horne brewhouse^[7] scituat in Eastsmithfeild) sixtie tonnes, one hogshead and twenty nine gallons of beere and one last and a halfe of barrells to and for the use and setting out of the XXX shipp the Salem arlate then lying in the River of Thames, and outwards bound, and commonly said to be belonging to the arlate XXXXXX Atkins, and saith the said beere and goods to the time of the said XXX delivery were the goods of the said Corsellis, and the said beere was XX worth three pounds and twelve shillings per tonne at the ?ordinary and usuall rate of the like beere at that time, and the said ?barrells were worth three pounds, All which hee knoweth because hee was the Brewers clarke to the said Brewhouse, and tooke XXX of the said deliverie and entred it downe in the debt booke for account of the said Collonell Samuel Atkins^[8], for whom this deponent made up an account thereof about September XXXX follow?eing the said delivery, as alsoe of and for the fourtie tonnes of caskes arlate, which hee saith were alsoe delivered"

- HCA 13/71 f.417v Case: Corsellis and Debenham against the Sara of Leith against Bi?lten and Trent ; Deposition: 4. Peter Descobeck of the parish of Saint Olaves in Southwarke Brewers Clarke, aged 64 yeeres ("Signature of Peter Descobecq" at end of deposition); Date: 27/1171656^[9]

- The Hartshorn brewhouse was located in Lower East Smithfield adjoining the Hartshorn Wharf. Harben dates it to 3 Hen. VII, and notes that the location of the brewhouse is shown as adjacent to Brown's Wharf in the Survey of St. Katherine's, 1686.^[10] It is recorded in the 1662 Middlesex hearth tax returns for the parish of St. Botolph without Aldgate, London, within the Ossulstone hundred, in a sequence of rotulets which has been reordered to run from East Smithfield south end, ?Brush Yard, 'Hartshorne Brewhouse', to Flushing Alley, 'George Alley', Virginia Court, and East Smithfield south side.^[11]

The Brewhouse supplied ships on the Thames with beer in considerable quantities, and in the early C18th was was associated with many abuses linked to contract brewers and ship's pursers. An entry in the Journal of the House of Commons, dated February 15th, 1710, records issues associated with the "Abuses of the Victualling" and specifically "the Abuses and Frauds, committed at her Majesty's Brewhouse, called the Hartshorne Brewhouse, and likewise those committed by the contracting Brewers."^[12]

Barrels of beer had been carried "in several parcels from the Hartshorn Brewhouse to Colliers, Merchant Ships, and other Places," carried by watermen. The Committee for the investigation of the Abuses of Victualling noted disapprovingly that the beer so disposed of was "Sea Beer, and not petty Warrant Beer." One brewer told the Committee that "he has often had beer from the Queen's Brewhouse, by the means of one Moxley, a Servant there, at the rate of 22s. per Ton, and that he knew "a great many Colliers" who were "supplied with Beer from thence...much cheaper there, than of other Brewers."

Another brewer recorded a fine trade, purchasing beer from the Hartshorne Brewhouse at 22s per ton, and selling it on, again to the Queen, at 48s per ton as "Store Beer." It was a commonplace, the Committee had been told, for pursers to sell the Queen's Beer. Abuse was easy in the absence of accounts, with the Under Clerk to the Brewhouse reporting that the Accounts of the Brewhouse had never been made up in the six years he had been there.
