Indictment over Captain Sinclair and Captain Bambridge
The Historical Register reports Captain Sinclair being indicted at the Old Bailey. Bambridge allegedly extorted money and mistreated prisoners including Spanish merchant John Holder, causing debilitation and death from forced removal to the Common Side. Holder feared his possessions valued at about 30,000 would be taken and appealed for relief.
