Evidence from High Court of Admiralty
Twenty-one year old William Sarsfield deposed on December 14th 1660 in the High Court of Admiralty. He ws examined touching the perishablenes of some sugers brought hether in the William and John.[1]
William Sarsfield stated that there was a parcel of four tons of brown sugars brought from Barbados in the ship the William and John (Master: William Goodlad). The sugars had been condemned in the Admiralty Court for freight due on them. The sugars were "in a perishable condition and doe dayly purge, an did some course be not spedily taken with them they will be soone spoiled".
William Sarsfield's deposition took place two days after the Primum Decretum of the Court, which is the "condemnation", which Sarsfield refers to. The schedule for the sugars has survived as an attachment to the Primum Decretum of the Court, dated December 12th 1654. Both this schedule and the Latin Primum Decretum are exhibited below.
