Evidence from High Court of Admiralty
Twenty-nine year old Henry Collines deposed on November 9th 1660 in the High Court of Admiralty.[1] He was examined in the case of "Tailor and Waterman against [?XXXX]".[2]
The case concerned delivery of ten pieces of ordnance from the yard of Wapping shipwright Thomas Tailor to the ship the John (Master: John Wilkinson).
Henry Collines stated he knew the ship the John (Master: John Wilkinson). Was servant to Thomas Taylor in his lifetime and knew Captaine Waterman as well. Henry Collines became servant and apprentice of Thomas Tailor, shipwright, in 1649, he dwelling at Wapping, and continued his apprentice and journeyman for the space of eight years. Henry Collines attested to the delivery of goods and materials of ordnance from Tailor's yard or dock for the use of ships or vessels. He described Tailor as "an honest and iust man in his dealings" and "kept a iust and true booke of goods and materialls soe delivere". In 1655 Henry Collines delivered out of Tailor's yard ar Wapping five guns or pieces of ordnance and another five guns for the use of the ship the John, and made entry of the deliveries in Tailor's book, specifying the weight and rates they were sold at. They are listed in the attached schedule - the first five entered by Collinses and the second five by his master, Thomas Tailor. Collinses and his precontest Richard Gough compared the wchedule with the original book a fortnight before their depositions and found teh schedule to be accurate. Collinses staed that he was bookkeeper while he dwelled with Mr Tailor. He left Mr Tailor's service about three years before this deposition.
