Evidence from High Court of Admiralty

Twenty-three year old Henry Mayne deposed on November 11th 1656 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on a libel in the cause of "Hopwood and others against the Stambeline and Hill".[1]

The case concerned delivery of goods and materials to the ship the Stamboline (Master: Captaine John Case) by a variety of suppliers.

Henry Mayne stated that the goods and materials listed on a schedule attached to the allegation were supplied in April 1654 by Edward Hopwood for use on the ship the Stambeline. Mayne effected the delivery, being the servant of Hopwood. The delivery was made "at and from his warehouse at Redriff wall to and for the use and furniture of the said shipp the Stambeline then out lying near the said warehouse". The Stamboline at that time. Henry Mayne was certain of "the premisses touching the said delivery, with the particulars and prizes hee is the better able (as hee saith) to depose for that hee as servant to his said master delivered them as aforesaid, and made entrie thereof in his masters debt booke, which hee hath lately perused, and hath taken a note thereout agreeing with the said schedule".[2]

Captaine John Casse (alt. Case), the forty-six year old former master and commander of the Stambeline (alt. Stamboline), gave his residence as the parish of Saint Olave Southwark, when he deposed in the same case on November 7th 1658.
