Biographical synthesis
Evidence from High Court of Admiralty
Thomas Peacock, Citizen and Grocer of Saint Botolph Billingsgate, deposed in the High Court of Admiralty on July 25th 1655. He was the third deponent to be examined upon a libell given in on behalf of Giles Travers. The process of deposition had started on the previous day, with the examination first of Francis Gittings, a twenty year old cooper of Seething Lane in the parish of Barking,[1] and then John Bonnett, a twenty-eight year old cooper of Philpott Lane.[2]
The case was titled "Travers against Pomeroy and against lighter of about 200. tunns whereof the sayd Pomroy is owner and against any other". The case concerned the alleged damage to wine in a ship upon the river Thames which was being unloaded into lighters on the river. At issue was the conduct of the lighter men and an allegation of neglect on their behalf towards the wine.
