Affidavits dispute Captain Cape Lace affair and defects in evidence
A sworn deposition challenges Sir William Billers and Captain Cape regarding the sale and shipment of lace goods, denying orders to remove lace, promissory indemnity bonds, or privileges beyond standard commander allowances. Remarks critique the Captain’s letter and L-ck-r’s copy endorsements, noting no additional Company prejudice or governor interference.
